Useful Technologies for Independent Living by Tan Hee Kiah, Deisgn Consultant
It is estimated that 50% of prescriptions dispensed annually are not taken correctly and that 30% of all hospital admissions for people over the age of 65 are directly attributable to medication non-compliance.
There is now a device that can be programmed to automatically dispense medication at the appointed time in the home setting, so that seniors who are forgetful will no longer miss their medication or overdose on their medication.
Come join Hee Kiah to learn more about such automatic medication dispenser and other technologies that support greater independence, and ultimately strengthening the quality of life for the seniors.
