HealthOneMed has launched the Dispense-A-Pill, a personal medication manager that dispenses drugs at preset times and in preset quantities. Pills are poured directly into the DAP and the device automatically sorts and dispenses the medications as directed. It skips the error-prone step of manually setting out the medication thus increasing safety. From the press release:
DAP manages up to 16 medications and allows individuals to set reminders and manage alerts for non-pill medications such as topical creams, eye drops, inhalers and insulin injections. DAP can store a 90-day pill supply as well as inform a person when medications are running low, thereby providing plenty of time to get prescriptions refilled.
Since DAP connects to a phone line, it can automatically alert up to five caregiver contacts if a dosage is missed. Caregivers can also review medication dispensing history at any time.
In addition to managing medications, DAP’s unique FunMinders™ capability enables personalized reminders to be set for health-related activities including doctor’s appointments, dietary support and vital signs monitoring.
