Using SmartMinder™

Many of us in today's society are adjusting to the pressures of illness and changing lifestyles. We are attempting to confront our new situations with grace and style, while still aware that we're not keeping up with everything like we used to do.

It can be difficult and stressful for patients to keep track of their doctor's appointments, medication schedules, test dates, and other daily events without becoming worried and overloaded.

Sometimes people find it easier to manage situations when they have a spouse, a friend, or another family member to help them keep track of these activities. However, some people want to remain the independent people they have always been without burdening friends or loved ones.

SmartMinder™ gives your patients the chance to stand on their own two feet and feel a little bit like themselves again. It works like a friend or a family member keeping them on track and on task. It takes away the stress that may be caused by the fear of missing a pill, forgetting to complete an assignment, or missing a doctor's appointment. It gives them the opportunity to remain the person they have always been. SmartMinder™ allows your patient to remain healthy and vital because it ensures that they remain committed to their health.

Cost Savings
When patients spend hundreds of dollars each month on medication isn't it important they take it correctly and maximize the benefits? By taking medication correctly, patients save money when symptoms are controlled, by not having to return to the doctor, by avoiding a hospital admission, or by reducing the chances that an adverse reaction may occur.

Peace of Mind
As much as we would like to be available when someone in our family needs assistance, it is not always possible. Peace of mind comes with SmartMinder™. Your patients will know they will receive the reminders they need to take their medication correctly, stay healthy, and live independently.

Timeliness
When memory problems or extremely busy schedules make it difficult for a patient to remember appointments, a reminder an hour or thirty minutes before the time of the appointment may make their day run much more efficiently.

Independence
When memory is impaired, patients may require cues for daily life to allow them to live independently. Reminders may be needed for dressing, eating, medication, appointments, or any number of routine daily activities. SmartMinder™ costs only a fraction of what your patient may have otherwise spent on having a caregiver stop in or telephone each day to remind them of essential tasks.
