Painkiller addiction is real, and there's a possibility of overdosing on it too. To prevent that from happening, the students at Brigham Young University have developed an advanced pill dispenser which will release meds on a doctor's or pharmarcist's preset schedule.

The dispenser is dubbed the Med Vault and was designed to be difficult to compromise or tamper with. It can only be opened by a pharmacist when connected to a computer via a USB cable. It will be able to store and distribute pills for a variety of prescriptions but only as programmed by the pharmacist.
