PillPack  is an idea that sounds like it makes so much sense I can't believe I haven't heard of it before (never mind that it's supposed to be in common use at nursing homes and the like). I like the idea of automatic reordering and presorted medicine; the only thing I can't find at the web site is whether the company provides an annual summary. Fast Company gives some background.
