SPOTLIGHT: Investor conference highlights personal medication compliance

Some emerging technology companies are banking on remote monitoring, mobile access to information and telemedicine to drive the consumer healthcare revolution we've been waiting, oh, about a decade for. Such startups displayed their wares at OneMedForum, an annual finance meeting meant to showcase emerging companies, earlier this month in San Francisco. For example, for $99, you can get visual reminders to take your medication from a product called GlowCap. This prescription bottle-topper lights up whenever it's time to take another pill, and the warnings escalate over time. The cap can track when the bottle is opened and whether patients missed a dosage. FierceMobileHealthcare
