Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system provide medications to a patient with a time gap including determining a dissolving pattern for the patient. The dissolving pattern includes a medication dissolving rate for a first medication prescribed to the patient and a filler dissolving rate for a filler selected so that the time gap is elapsed prior to a second medication being provided after the first medication. The medication dissolving rate and the filler dissolving rate are specific to the patient. The method includes determining dimensions of the first medication to correspond to a dosage of the prescribed first medication and dimensions of the filler to correspond to the time gap. The method includes providing a pill including at least the first medication and the filler, the first medication surrounding the filler such that the first medication is dissolved prior to the filler being dissolved. The pill may include multiple medications. The pill may be a signal pill comprising an edible electronic circuit configured to provide an alert.
