Frequently Asked Questions
How can I help my elderly parent remember to take their medication?
An automatic pill reminder with loud alarms and visual alerts is the most reliable solution.
Unlike phone calls or manual pill boxes, our medication reminder physically dispenses the correct dose at programmed times and continues alerting until the medication is taken. You can also receive an SMS/email notifications if a dose is missed.
Will this work as a pill reminder for dementia patients or elderly parents with memory problems?
Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The device does everything automatically. At the scheduled time, it unlocks the correct compartment, sounds a loud alarm, and flashes lights. Your parent simply takes the pills presented to them, with no need to remember schedules or manage multiple bottles.
Do I need to download an app or pay monthly fees?
No. Our pill reminder works completely stand-alone with no apps, subscriptions, or ongoing payments. Your elderly parent doesn't need a smartphone or internet connection. Just plug it in and it works.
How can I monitor medication compliance from adistance?
Our MedSmart Refill Service sends SMS and/or email alerts to nominated contacts when a medication refill is due. This can be set up at any time.
The clear lid also lets visiting family see at a glance if medications have been taken. You can stay informed without needing to be physically present or calling multiple times daily.
How does this compare to other medication reminder options?
Manual pill boxes still require remembering to check them. Phone reminder apps rely on smartphones and still leave the burden of finding and taking the correct pills.
Our automatic dispenser physically presents the exact dose at the scheduled time with loud alarms and visual alerts, removing the memory burden entirely. The locking mechanism also prevents double-dosing, which manual systems can't do.
Can this prevent my parent from taking double doses?
Yes. The compartments remain locked until the programmed time, so your parent can't accidentally take extra medication. This is particularly important for seniors with confusion or dementia who might otherwise take pills multiple times.
How do I know if my parent has taken their medication when I'm not there?
The clear lid lets you visually check if the current compartment has been emptied. Our MedSmart Refill Service can also send an SMS or email notifications to designated family members or carers, giving you multiple ways to monitor without constant phone calls.
What happens if they don't hear the alarm?
Our pill reminders feature extra loud alarms specifically designed for seniors with hearing difficulties. The alarm continues sounding and lights keep flashing until the compartment is emptied. You can also enable email alerts through MedSmart if a dose is missed.
Is this suitable for someone who takes medication 3-4 times a day?
Yes, you can programme up to 9 medication reminders per day. Each of the 28 compartments can hold 20+ pills, so even seniors on multiple medications can fit all their tablets for each dose time.
Can I get my medication reminder device funded through NDIS or My Aged Care?
Yes, automatic medication reminders are typically covered under NDIS funding, Home Care Packages, and STRC funding.
