HAUPPAUGE, NY and NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - February 07, 2017) - Intelligent Product Solutions (IPS), a leading product development company, and AdhereTech, a medication adherence company, today announced that the Smart Pill Bottle received the prestigious GOOD DESIGN Award 2016. The GOOD DESIGN award is the world's oldest prize dedicated to the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial products and graphic designs produced around the world.

AdhereTech and IPS were honored with this international design award -- the GOOD DESIGN award 2016 -- on January 27, at the New York location of the Chicago Athenaeum, during the museum's Good Design night.
