Dealing with pills - two dispensers to help you keep track of medication.
On the left a pill box with a built-in digital timer. Just set the alarm
for when your next dose is due.
On the right, for people who have a complicated regime, this automatic dispenser can be programmed to deliver pills up to 28 times a day, and will sound an alarm until the dose has been dispensed, making it ideal for anyone who is forgetful about their medication.
Foil
blister packs account for 90% of all the pills we buy over the counter
or on prescription - and they can be really hard to deal with, if you
have any weakness or pain in your hands. A Pill Press
(left) is a really simple solution to this problem.
Anyone who has difficulty swallowing whole tablets would find a dual action splitter and crusher helpful (right).
Angled
chiropody scissors (left) make toenail cutting easier. The handles are
elongated with comfortably moulded grips, to give better leverage.
Nail clippers with a built-in magnifier (right) will be a boon for anyone who finds it becoming harder to manage this task accurately.
Keep
a check on your blood pressure, with an accurate, easy to use automatic
monitor like this one (left) from Win Health. Half the individuals with
high blood pressure don't realise - and yet it is the prime indicator
for heart disease.
An instant forehead thermometer (right) makes taking temperatures much easier and quicker, particularly as it also speaks the result.
