Medication management devices

Medication management devices are tools that help individuals and caregivers keep track of when to take medications, and ensure that the correct dosage is taken at the correct time. These devices can include:
  • 1. Pill organisers: These are small boxes or trays that are divided into compartments for each day of the week, or each time of day. They can be used to store and organise pills for easy identification and to ensure that the right pills are taken at the right time.
  • 2. Medication reminder alarms: These are devices that can be programmed to remind an individual to take their medication at a specific time, and can come in the form of a watch, a phone app, or a stand-alone device.
  • 3. Smart pill bottles: These are bottles that are equipped with sensors that can track when the bottle is opened, and can send reminders to the individual or caregiver to take their medication.
  • 4. Automatic pill dispensers: These devices can be programmed to dispense pills at specific times, and can also send reminders to the individual or caregiver.
  • 5. Medication management software: Some of these software can be integrated with electronic health records (EHR) and can help with creating, tracking and refilling medication schedules.
Medication management devices can be especially helpful for people with dementia, as they may have difficulty remembering to take their medications, or may have difficulty with coordination and dexterity required to open pill bottles. They can also be helpful for caregivers, as they can assist in ensuring that medications are being taken correctly and on schedule, which can help prevent medication errors and ensure that the person with dementia is receiving the most benefit from their medications.
