How the Medication Dispenser works
- Link to Life works directly with the individual and/or a caregiver to set-up customized medication distribution schedules.
- At the scheduled times, the medication dispenser distributes single or multiple medications up to four times a day from the locked container.
- The tray automatically rotates clockwise and triggers the reminder signal, which includes an audible tone and flashing light.
- Opening the container door silences the signal for that dose and resets the unit for the next dose.
- Most importantly, the medication dispenser contacts the Care Center when medication doses are missed, so appropriate follow-up can be made with the caregiver.
- Regulates 56 consecutive doses based on an individual’s schedule and needs.
- 72- hour battery back-up.
