Here are a few of our favourite tools:
Simply put the Mediminder is an electronic pill dispenser, similar to the ones delivered from your pharmacy with added features that ensure the safety of our loved ones when they take their medication. The Mediminder was chosen due to simple design, family alert option and most importantly- its lock feature so the wrong medication is never taken.
Pros:
Cons:
With so medication management apps its hard to choose a favourite! The Medisafe App was chosen due to its clear interface, alert sent to a family member if the user forgets to take their medication and drug interaction warnings. Bonus points were given to its other features such as videos and articles of your medications.
Pros:
Cons:
The SimpleMed+ is a smart medication dispenser. Its accompanying app is easy to use but needs a caregiver or pharmacist input. Once again we love the alert feature to a family member, which allows for remote management, especially important the elderly who’s children and family members live abroad.
Pros:
Cons:
If you are looking for something more sophisticated- Hero’s automatic pill dispenser is your thing! Not only does it separate the medication into the correct dosages, the accompanying app sends alerts to a family member (a must!) and is very easy to use physically- so its perfect for the elderly population.
Pros:
Cons:
We saved the best for last!
The caring village app is exactly what it sounds like. It creates a community through which families, friends and caregivers can unit to provide a supportive environment and unified care for a loved one. All its features are designed to facilitate clear communication so nothing is overlooked.
