Automated Pill Box for Seniors
One of the greatest health concerns in the elderly is proper medication compliance – taking the right medication, the right dose, at the right time. An automated medication dispenser may be the perfect tool to ensure that medication is taken properly and on time.
Everyone has different needs when it comes to taking medication. Some people take their meds once a day; some take 4 doses a day. With the MedReady Medication Dispenser, the medication tray gets filled for the doses you need to take according to your schedule. After the tray is filled, the alarms get set for the times of day the meds need to be taken. Setting the alarms is as simple as setting an alarm clock.
After the medication is loaded and the alarms are set, the MedReady dispenser can be locked to prevent overdosing.
Then it is as simple as taking the meds when the alarm goes off. But there might still be a problem. Some people have hearing issues and might not hear the alarm. That’s ok! Other models are offered with lower frequency alarms and flashing lights. There are also dispensers that are monitored by a call center. If the medication door does not open when an alarm goes off, you will get a phone call to make sure everything is alright and offer a polite reminder to take your meds. Now that’s high tech med compliance! Here’s a short video to show you the MedReady in action…
