If a family wishes to avoid or minimize managed care – and administering medication is the only barrier to this goal – then a medication management system could be the right solution. 

​

The medication management system is a battery-powered dispenser that can be programmed to dispense each medication at the appropriate time. An audible "beeping" tone alerts the user that it’s time to retrieve the medication. If they fail to retrieve it, the tone will continue to sound until they do. 

​

To make aging in place more successful, medication management can be combined with other healthcare monitoring services — for example, activity monitoring. The activity monitoring service can notify a family member, caregiver or healthcare provider if the user has not been near the medication dispenser at the expected time.
