Medication Reminder

Medication Reminder
Never forget to take your medications again!


"My Mom has Alzheimers and I started out with your usual pill container with the Letters on the top S-M-T-W-T-F-S. Well, I could never have pills in two "S" containers or two "T" containers which left me filling the pill containers on Sunday and again on Thursday so she didn't double dose. I would call her in the morning and my brother called her in the evening to remind her to take her pills.

Recently I filled Sunday through Wednesday as per usual and my Brother me called Monday evening to say, "there are no pills". Mom says, "you forgot to fill the pill container". This wasn't good so now I was left with driving to her house two times per day and giving her the pills. In between I was searching, trying to figure out what I was going to do.

I was thrilled when I found the Automatic Pill Dispenser. It works so slick! It is so easy to program. I program my moms pills for two times per day. Once this was done I didn't have to worry with the timer again except to change the time. I fill the pill container once every two weeks, lock it and forget it. The pill slots hold a good number of pills. Mom has 7 prescription pills besides calcium and D and they fit well, if I place them in just right.

My Mom doesn't do well with alarms but there is a ratchet sound that the machine makes when it moves and she hears this and goes and takes her pills. My brother and I still call her twice a day to make sure she has taken her pills. My mother is frail but this machine isn't too heavy for her to tip to get her pills. The Automatic Pill Dispenser is sturdy so she isn't able to break it open and it is so nice to not have to worry about overdose anymore.

Now Mom and I can do something beside talk about pills as there is an extra pill case to place pills in ahead so that all you have to do is trade it out."

    Why MedSmart? MedSmart is designed to address one of the biggest problems in healthcare - medication non-adherence. Classified as "the world's other drug problem", non-adherence to medication regimens accounts for more than 10% of older adult hospital admissions and one out of four nursing home admissions.

    How does it work? At each reminder / alarm time (up to six times per day), a flashing light and sound alert will remind you that it is time to take your pills; the tray will rotate, and all your medication for this time will be made available (all other medicine is inaccessible).

    Tip the unit (turn upside down) to dispense your pills and the motion of turning the device upside down turns off the alarm. The device is now ready to dispense the next dose at the scheduled time.

    Early Dose Button: Perfect for individuals with active lifestyles, doses can be accessed early so they can be taken while not at home. Based upon individual client needs, the early dose button may be closed (turned off) to control misuse.

    Powered Docking Base: The MedSmart comes with a convenient docking station ('home pill station') which provides power to the unit.

    Transportable / Back-Up Battery: MedSmart operates on AC power when in the docking station and on battery power (4 x AA batteries) when away from the docking station (or in the event of a power outage).

    MedSmart Easy to Setup. Simply program the Medication Alarms from 1 to 6 times per day in accordance with the patient's dosage schedule.

    The circular tray has cells for you to organize pills. Select the appropriate template that corresponds with the dosage schedule and fill the tray accordingly. Close the MedSmart device, lock it and place it on the docking station.
