A system and method for altering the scent within a pill organizer. The pill organizer has multiple pill compartments and a scent compartment within a container housing. One or more perforated walls separate the scent compartment from the various pill compartments. A scent source that releases scent is placed in the scent compartment. The scent permeates into the various pill compartments. When a pill compartment is accessed by a user, the predominant scent perceived by the user is that of the scent source. In this manner, the user is not dissuaded from consuming pills, soft gels, tablets, gummies and / or capsules due to the odors that such items may release. The scented source can be replaced and / or renewed within the pill organizer. As such, the effectiveness of the overall product can be maintained for the life of the product.

Additionally, networked notification systems for dispensable units can be used for updating rules or schedules related to the dispensable units, or alerting users and remote resources of any potential misuse or hazards of the dispensable units.

Introduced here are pressure-mitigation systems able to mitigate the pressure applied to a human body by the surface of an object (also referred to as a “structure”). A controller device (or simply “controller”) can be fluidically coupled to a pressure-mitigation device that includes a series of selectively inflatable chambers. When a pressure-mitigation device is placed between a human body and a surface, the controller can continuously, intelligently, and autonomously circulate fluid through the chambers of the pressure-mitigation device. Normally, the controller circulates air through the chambers of the pressure-mitigation device, though the controller could circulate another fluid, such as water or gel, through the chambers of the pressure-mitigation device. The controller may cause the chambers to be selectively inflated, deflated, or any combination thereof.
