Pill Dispenser Is Needed To Keep Seniors Out Of Nursing Homes

Oct. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- An aging population has caused an explosion in the number of nursing homes.  Seniors struggle to complete their daily chores and remain i control of their health and well being.  Even the most minor responsibilities can become over whelming and truly impossible.  Many aids have been designed to delay the process and keep people at home.

One of the most important and overlooked goals is proper medication management.  With the complexity of medication schedules, it is no wonder that error and mistakes are running rampant.  It is obvious that  not taking medication properly will not allow the most positive outcomes.  As people age, there is much less margin for errors and the consequences of forgetting or double dosing are greatly magnified.

Simple pill organizers are not up to the challange.  It is estimated by The World Health Organization that simple pill box leads to up to 90% of seniors forgetting to take their medication.  The problem is not pill organization it is the need for a pill reminder.An eventual out come of a poorly designed pill box is that the senior will forget for days at a time and then take three or four days at one time.  They feel they are doing the right thing by trying to "catch up".  The fact of the matter is this is by far the worst hing they can do.  This leads to Er trips, reduced quaility of health and sometimes the results can even be fatal.

An electronic pill dispenser has been designed by the MED-Q Pill Box company.  The device has two different alers/alarms that remind the senior the excact time to take their medication and in the correct doses.  This device can be crucial in keeping seniors out of nursing homes and keep them at home where they belong.
