The challenge
Elderly individuals, people with disabilities, or those with health issues often make mistakes when taking their medication. Moreover, they sometimes forget to take it altogether. Additionally, medical workers, doctors, and pharmacies cannot always keep track of all the medications their patients are using and how regularly they take them.
The solution
An integrated SMART pill organizer and its connected software help healthcare providers gain insight into their patients' pill-taking habits. By assisting those who need it most, SchedMed offers solutions for data collection, prescription management, and ensuring patients take their prescribed medication. The main components are the software, the smartphone app, and the SMART pill organizer. The software is integrated into healthcare institutions and pharmacies, linking medication prescriptions to patients' health insurance numbers. The app and SMART pill organizer support patients by notifying them to take the right pills at the right time and in the correct dosage. Additionally, it collects patient consumption data and updates the responsible healthcare professionals.
