Welcome

Thank you for selecting the Philips Medication Dispenser .
The Philips Medication Dispenser can help simplify taking medication
properly
Taking medications at the right times and in the correct amounts is critical for health,
wellness, and safety . It takes organization and sticking to a schedule . But the more
medications prescribed, the greater the challenge . And in some situations, managing
it all can get so overwhelming for the patient – and the caregiver – that it threatens
the independence of both . But you've found an answer! The dispenser can help make
taking medication properly as simple as pushing a button .
Peace of mind and independence for caregivers and patients
The caregiver still has an important role to play, but the dispenser reduces the need
for intrusive and time-consuming daily visits and reminder phone calls . Whether the
caregiver is family, a friend or a healthcare provider, the Philips Medication Dispenser
makes it possible for them to prepare and set up medication a week or more in
advance . The dispenser takes it from there, with audible voice prompts that cue the
patient when it's time to push the button and take the scheduled medication . Further
simplifying the role of the caregiver, the system is remotely monitored via phone
line . If the patient misses a dose or there is a problem with the system, the dispenser
automatically places an alert call to the caregiver . And with the online reporting feature,
the caregiver can also check in anytime to make sure that everything is going well .
