Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing, or other special needs! Many individuals aging in place may have difficulty remembering and taking their medications when they\u2019re supposed to.  The original MedReady Automatic Medication Dispenser can help with that! According to the product\u2019s website, \u201cMedReady increases medication compliance up to 96.7% by virtually eliminating missed doses and overdosing medication.  If the medication is prescribed correctly, the effectiveness of the drugs remains high because the blood plasma levels do not fluctuate outside of required tolerances.\u201d Features of the pill dispenser include: If the patient doesn\u2019t take their medication at designated time, the device notifies MedReady\u2019s data center which then notifies caregivers via text message, phone call, or email Low frequency alarm notifies patient when it\u2019s time to take medication Holds up to 28 doses Can dispense 1 to 4 times per day Each compartment can hold up to 9 M&M size pills And more Visit MedReadyInc.net to learn more!
