The Automated Medicine Dispenser
Operating model
The client or care provider leases the automated medicine dispenser. The dispenser dispenses the clients doses at the right time throughout the day. It is easy to take the medicine because it is dispensed in a safe and familiar medicine cup.
The medicine cup automatically presents itself and dispenser notifies the client by speech and by illuminating the cup. The automated dispenser can serve different kinds of medicine: continuously taken, temporary and, if necessary, medicine. Liquid medicines are also possible. The system includes a remote care software where all the medicine information and user data is stored. The software can be used by nurses and also by relatives who have been familiarized with the software. The automated dispenser send out an alarm if the client forgets to take their medicine. The forgotten dose can be re-introduced remotely. The remote control also allows to serve "as needed" or PRN medicine. So basically any medicine that is loaded to the dispenser can be served remotely at any time.
Advantages
By using the automated medicine dispenser home care providers can increase the effectiveness of nurses because most home care clients (60-70%) can take the medicine themselves. Home care customers benefit from the increased independence. Medication safety also improves. The functional capacity of elderly home care clients is maintained and in some cases improved, when the medicine is taken according to the treatment plan.
Filling the dispenser
The medicine comes from dose dispensing services or pharmacy packaging. When filling the dispenser the nurse can choose to keep the dose packages and pharmacy medicines in separate cups or combine them into a single cup. Dose dispensed medicine bags are scanned using a small handheld ir-scanner. The fill-up process takes approximately 8 minutes every two weeks..
Engage family members
For family members there is a simple user interface for the remote medicine serving and filling the automated dispenser. Family members can opt to receive alerts if a dose hasn't been taken. The home care patient or client and the family members can fill the automated dispenser together. This way the patient or client can be more involved in their own medicine treatment.
