Welcome
Thank you for selecting the Philips Medication Dispenser.
The Philips Medication Dispenser can help simplify taking medication
properly
Taking medications at the right times and in the correct amounts is critical for health,
wellness, and safety. It takes organization and sticking to a schedule. But the more
medications prescribed, the greater the challenge. And in some situations, managing
it all can get so overwhelming for the patient – and the caregiver – that it threatens
the independence of both. But you’ve found an answer! The dispenser can help make
taking medication properly as simple as pushing a button.
Peace of mind and independence for caregivers and patients
The caregiver still has an important role to play, but the dispenser reduces the need
for intrusive and time-consuming daily visits and reminder phone calls. Whether the
caregiver is family, a friend or a healthcare provider, the Philips Medication Dispenser
makes it possible for them to prepare and set up medication a week or more in
advance. The dispenser takes it from there, with audible voice prompts that cue the
patient when it’s time to push the button and take the scheduled medication. Further
simplifying the role of the caregiver, the system is remotely monitored via phone
line. If the patient misses a dose or there is a problem with the system, the dispenser
automatically places an alert call to the caregiver. And with the online reporting feature,
the caregiver can also check in anytime to make sure that everything is going well.
