Announcement posted by TabTimer Pty Ltd 21 Aug 2014

The MedReady MR-357FL automatically dispenses pills and reports on compliance for people with memory or cognitive impairment.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 21 August 2014 – Australian company TabTimer Reminders™ has added the MedReady MR-357FL Automated Pill Dispenser to its already large range of medication reminders and assistive technology solutions, providing more independence to the aged, disabled, memory and cognitively impaired people who want to remain in their own homes, and giving families and care givers ultimate knowledge and control over their loved ones’ prescribed medicine regimes.

 

The MedReady MR-357FL Automated Medication Dispenser is a timed-alarm system which holds 28 doses of medicines, that are automatically provided at the programmed times, up to four times daily. The locked and tamper resistant lid keeps medicines securely stored until the programmed times arrive.  At medicine time, the powerful 90dB, 400Hz audible alarm beeps and a light flashes continuously, until the medicine door is opened to allow access to the pills. Only the most recent medication dose is available to the patient, with missed doses securely stored away.

 

An in-built SIM card communicates events to central servers which can provide care givers with detailed reports via a website about medicines taken or missed, remote programming and control over the device, the ability to trigger early doses, as well as SMS alerts and email notifications when something goes wrong. A rechargeable battery is used for backup power supply during power failures, or to enable the dispenser to be taken away on day trips or outings.

 

Managing Director and chief time-keeper of TabTimer Reminders™ – Jonathan Allott says ‘the MedReady Automatic Pill Dispenser provides families of people with memory and cognitive impairment and their caregivers, peace of mind knowing whether prescribed medicines are being administered correctly or not’. ‘The MedReady can assist people to maintain their own independence and enjoy familiar surroundings, in the comfort of their own home’ Jonathan says.

 

The MedReady is easy to set up and use and can be easily programmed remotely from the MedReady web portal. At just $359 the MedReady MR-357FL Automatic Pill Dispenser, with subscriptions for the web portal and notifications from $16.66 per month, are a valuable solution for people with memory or cognitive impairment and disabilities.
