⚡ At a Glance
- • Dispensing Accuracy: Correct dose is released at the scheduled time while other pills remain locked and out of sight
- • Best for: People with memory impairment and carers supporting medication routines
- • Not ideal for: Users who require liquid or refrigerated medicines, or schedules beyond 24 alarm slots
Secure, timed dispensing reduces missed or double doses. Visible LCD and alarm schedule keep carers informed about upcoming doses.
Preventing missed and double doses – with a self-locking shutter
Self-locking shutter covers the lid opening and allows the medication tray to be accessed only at programmed times, preventing manual forced movement of the tray. Programming determines when the correct dose becomes available.
Reduced risk of accidental or repeated dosing, giving carers confidence that medication schedules are followed. Safer routines for users with Alzheimer’s, dementia and memory difficulties.
Clear reminders day and night – with 24 alarms and an LCD display
Up to 24 alarms can be set and the LCD display is visible through the lid, showing date, time, next dose time, number of doses remaining and battery level. Audible alerts work alongside the visible prompts.
Consistent prompts help users remember doses without constant supervision, while carers can check remaining doses and battery status at a glance.
Hygienic handling – with antibacterial-protected plastics
Plastics used in the casing include antibacterial protection proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on contact. Materials are selected to reduce germ build-up around medication access points.
Lower surface germ risk around frequently touched areas, which is particularly reassuring for vulnerable or partially sighted users.
