The “Smart Pillbox” To Remind You of Your Medication
For elderly patients and patients with chronic medical conditions, remembering to take medications can become a bother to the memory. Nevertheless, taking the medications are prescribed and for the better.
InforMedix has fortunately created a new interactive “smart pillbox” that will help remind patients to take their medications. This new creation is called the Med-eMonitor.
The Med-eMonitor alerts the patient with a musical chime when it’s time to take their medicine. It also informs the patient on how to take the medication, and asks the patient questions about their health. It also records the date and time when the medicine drawer has been opened.
In the event that the patient takes the wrong pill or medicine, or in cases where he or she forgets to take her medication, the Med-eMonitor will send an email, a text message, or a fax to a relative or loved one, or to a call center through which a health professional will be notified. The Med-eMonitor also has a questionnaire section for patient feedback, and a “to do” list to help the patients do the most critical tasks first.
Emergency medical service will be notified in minutes by the call center if necessary.
