Supporting Daily Medication Routines with Pill Buddie

Keeping to a medication schedule can be a challenge for many people, including older adults living independently. Published research has reported that adherence among seniors varies widely. Simple tools such as reminders can make a routine easier to keep. Pill Buddie is designed to make it easier to follow a medication schedule.

Pill Buddie and Pill Buddie Mini: Working Together

A Pill Buddie Mini mirrors the status of your main Pill Buddie over the internet, so it can sit in the next room, in another town, in another province, or on the other side of the world, anywhere there is Wi-Fi and an internet connection. When the Pill Buddie dispenses a dose, the paired Mini flashes and beeps, and the alert continues until the tray is removed. This can reduce the need to check on the device in person, wherever the caregiver is. Connected dispensers are an active area of research [4].

A caregiver doesn’t have to be in the same house, or even the same city, to see that an alert is going off. Families use it to stay connected across any distance, which is one way people support aging in place.

Built-In Safety Features

The Pill Buddie Lockable includes a lockable lid, a lockable touchscreen, timed dispensing and a visual tray reminder. These features keep pills in the compartment until the scheduled time and make it clear when a dose is waiting. Each device holds up to 28 days of scheduled doses.
