We have apps and devices to track pretty much everything these days. With HERO we wanted to build a simple and delightful way to track medicine and supplements. HERO is a smart appliance and mobile app that stores, dispenses and manages vitamins and medicine for you and your family. Here are some of our favorite HERO features: • Dispense your medicine on schedule or on demand at the push of a button • Store up to 10 different types of pills -- any size, any shape • Receive notifications when it is time to take your pills, whether you’re at home or on the go • Receive alerts about loved ones, so you don't have to wonder if Mom took her pills this morning • Share HERO with your whole family, while still keeping your own pills safe and secure • Know if you are running low and order refills HERO ships Summer 2016 and we’re accepting pre-orders starting today. As a special thank you, we're offering Product Hunters a special $50 discount. Thank you for the support. Let us know what you think...

@kalvepuri Can you please let me know the best way to get in touch. I would love to feature Hero in an upcoming article.

@michaele_harrington Hi Michaele! The best way to get in touch with us is hello@herohealth.com or +1-929-260-HERO (4376). Thank you for your continued interest in HERO!

Can we use this for Skittles? :) All joking aside guys, great work. I can see this being very handy for people. Best of luck.
Daniel van Flymen
@dannyfiorentini M&M's too. And Junior Mints. Basically the last three years have been about taking Pez dispensers to the next level ;)
Danny Fiorentini
@daniel_van_flymen now you're talking!

Hero Solves the "did I take that or did I mean to take that...or did I take it yesterday?" issue. I also like the access code, and wouldn't mind biometric recognition down the road. My 8-year old prides himself on breaking into my iPad and phone. "Ha, Mom, I guessed your new password." I wouldn't want my little digital lock picker to get medications.

@runningdmc Great idea. HERO also lets you know by app/text if it's been unplugged, in case your little digital lock picker is strong and tall enough to grab it from the kitchen counter!

@kutakdogan Love that. He's pretty clever...

@kutakdogan I noticed people are asking for refunds on your crowdfunding campaign and nobody from your company is responding. Any updates you can share?
Hana Stevanovic
@michaele_harrington We've had a very small number of requests for refunds due to the delay in launching, but we've addressed those customers and hope that everyone is as excited as we are for HERO to launch in spring 2018!

You guys hit the nail on the head with the alerts about loved ones. That may be the biggest reason these things become popular.

@bizstoryteller Thanks. We think so, too. Several of us here at HERO have personal experience with loved ones who need extra monitoring, and believe that feature especially could really improve the lives of not only those taking vitamins and medicine, but the people who care for them as well.

This is awesome. In my teens I peaked at 18 pills a day and was super unmanageable. Hero also looks absolutely beautiful, being able to have it out in the open is really great, way less awful then leaving out bottles and bottles of pills. You feel self conscious as a younger person with all those meds.

@thatmattgardner Thanks! It's so true, and a real shame that medicine, something that benefits our health enormously and is part of our daily routine, is relegated to the "tedious chore that I don't like to talk about" category.

Hello! I think your product is going to help so many PEOPLE! However I have an alternative use case you may want to consider.. I have a friend who has a really sick dog and he complains that it's a full time job administering meds.. This leads me to conclude that your product will help people keep track of PET medications as well! ;) I know this is a small niche market.. But I hope this was still beneficial for you to read! :) Thanks, Jaswinder Brar

looks like it will be a cool product; especially for elderly people. It's similar to a device that I have. HERO is kind of an electronic version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...

Really impressed with how practical the product is... didn't overdo the tech or user experience, which is easy to do. Excited to see Hero live in the wild.

@davetisch Thanks David. Much appreciated. At one point we had plans for many bells and whistles but our user conversations and testing suggested that we should take a simpler approach at least for now. Excited to add even more to the experience (where it's really helpful to the user) as we move forward.

Any idea what your estimated ship date might be?

@johnrwhaley Unlike most pre-orders product launches, we already have our entire supply chain, tooling, and development process done. Fulfilling orders will start this summer!
Jeffrey Wyman
This is really great. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones but I only take 1-2 pills / day, so it's a little overkill. I've tried NFC tags, reminders, alarms, DO buttons, none seem to really work for me.
