Visually Impaired
Our original mission—empowering those with low vision or blindness to independently manage their eye drop medications through tactile identification.
About Pheelio
Empowering independence for the visually impaired through innovative tactile solutions.
Let your medication do its thing.
We make tactile rings that fit around your eye drop bottle to help distinguish between bottles and indicate correct dosage.
The challenges of administering eye drops while visually impaired are a problem for both patients and physicians.
Research shows that simply adding a tactile ring to indicate dosage improves adherence significantly, allowing patients to identify drops with over 98% accuracy.
The number of ridges indicates how many times per day the drop should be administered. One ridge means once daily, two ridges means twice daily, three ridges means three times daily, and four ridges means four times daily.
How it works
Pheelio fits right onto your eye drop bottle, reminding you how many drops to take from each bottle.
- Fits on all standard bottles
- Simple to remove and change
- Easy to count and remember drops
- Silicone stays on bottle and improves grip
Expanding Our Mission
While Pheelio was born from a commitment to help the visually impaired, we recognize that medication management challenges extend far beyond vision loss. Our tactile solutions are designed to serve anyone who faces barriers to safe, accurate medication administration.
Who We Help
Non-English Speakers
For patients who struggle with written medication instructions due to language barriers, tactile ridges provide a universal, language-free method to identify dosing schedules.
Caregivers
Family members and healthcare aides benefit from a secondary tactile check, providing an additional safeguard against medication administration errors.
Rural Populations
People in areas with limited or no access to reliable electrical lighting can identify their medications by touch alone, ensuring accurate dosing even in the dark.
