If you want to use some kind of automated reminder, you could put together something pretty quickly on AWS. Use a combination of step functions and lambdas to send texts via Twilio. I'm not sure of the pricing on Twilio but the AWS stuff will be free.

I would say use this in combination with a well labeled pill box would be a good solution.

I actually like the idea of using Twilio instead of an alarm. A phone call is more likely to get him to act on it rather than a reminder on the phone. Thanks!
