Those who use
CompuMed love it because it is so easy to take the correct medication. No
vials to open . . . No wondering if medication was taken or not . . . No
concern over one pill or two . . . over the red pill or the green one.
CompuMed uses its computer "brains" to help keep track of 'the right pill
at the right time.'
Our typical end user is 82 years old, lives alone at home and has two or
more chronic illnesses. Many use Emergency Response systems and other
assistive devices in their daily living. These individuals just need a good reminder.
Interestingly enough, we have noticed an attitude shift among the at-home
elderly in the last ten or twelve years. They are much more comfortable and
willing to accept technology than they were in 1988 when CompuMed started.
Electronic gadgets are not nearly so intimidating. And, there is not nearly
the stigma (and denial) attached to forgetting medication as there was.
Because of CompuMed's security, many who are on controlled substances or care for those who are, find CompuMed useful.
Individuals with chronic illnesses, head injuries, developmental
disabilities and others have all benefitted from CompuMed.
