ABSTRACT:
A medication compliance, co-ordination and dispensing system for coordinating the administration of medication regimens at home equipped with a system for monitoring patient compliance and protection from overdosage and underdosage. The system is accessible to all types of patients, including children, the elderly, the visually-impaired, the hearing-impaired and patients with other handicaps. The device comprises a centrally positioned main housing containing a control element, a plurality of storage and dispensing units dedicated to different medications engageable with the main housing, and a system of input and output devices in communication with the control element. The I/O devices include visual and audible alarms for alerting the patient of administration times, voice and display means for providing extended medication information to the patient, a mini-camera for recording patient compliance and a user-wearable message receiving component for doing same. The compliance, co-ordination and dispensing system of the invention automatically dispenses medication according to a prescribed schedule but has built-in features which, in addition to recording non-compliance, allows inter alia adjustment of the medication criteria to protect against overdosage, as well as underdosage and preferably double-checks on the patient taking the dispensed medication and records and tracks when the medication is taken and co-ordinates this information with the medication regime programmed into the system.
