Is a smart pill box patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a smart pill box have been patented many times, but "a smart pill box" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a smart pill box been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Pill boxes are crowded with reminders, connectivity and compartment mechanisms; what is unique is usually the specific alert logic or dispensing mechanism.
