Benefits for Carers

PivoTell Automatic Pill Dispenser offers substantial benefits to professional care providers, family carers and individual users.

It enables easy maintenance of a prescribed pill regime; even a complex one. Uncertainty over whether or not medication has been taken is eliminated, thus avoiding the risks to patient health and additional care costs of over- or under-medicating.

As the unit is lockable, it ensures that only the correct dose is taken, and the insistent alarm makes sure that the pills are dispensed at the right time.

It enables users to take their pills themselves, which can relieve carers, both professional and family, from the necessity to be present on each occasion that medication is due. This relieves stress and worry for everyone, and supports individuals living independently in their own home.

The dispenser includes an integrated interface to link with systems provided by assistive technology companies linking with call centres, thus making it ideal as part of a telecare package.
