BlueStar SeniorTech Partners with Dose Health to Deliver Dose Flip Smart Pillbox
ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- BlueStar SeniorTech announced today it will be distributing for Dose Health. Ensuring the appropriate person takes the correct medication at the right time can sometimes be difficult for our seniors. Dose Health's smart pillbox, Dose Flip, will alleviate this issue. The portable, simple-to-use smart pillbox is small enough to carry and large enough to contain multiple pills. It is easy to set up, fill, dispense, and secure. Caregivers and loved ones can receive text messages, phone calls, or emails when pills are missed or dispensed.
Medication non-adherence is a very common problem. Three in four people in the U.S. struggle to take their medicine as directed. Three times more people die each year from incorrectly taking medication than from car accidents in the U.S. CVS has called medication non-adherence "a hidden epidemic," and it's entirely preventable.
"My Mom has low blood pressure and my Dad has high blood pressure, and we found out their blood pressures were getting worse. After looking into it, we realized Mom was taking Dad's medication and Dad was taking Mom's medication," said BlueStar SeniorTech CEO Rear Admiral Robert O. Wray Jr. (ret) "With a technology like the Dose Flip Smart Pillbox, we are able to ensure that Mom is taking the right medication at the right time, and Dad is doing the same."
Greg Pfeiffer, a family caregiver using the Dose Flip for his mother, said "Your product is the only thing keeping her in her own home and out of an assisted-living environment. Please know that your work is important, from both a well-being and a financial point of view."
The Dose Flip has been shown to drastically improve an individual's ability to take the right medications at the correct time. The smart pillbox alerts individuals when it is time to take their medication through a series of alarms paired with flashing light. It provides peace of mind by notifying caregivers when medications are not being taken as directed. The Dose Flip has shown an average adherence rate of greater than 95% across users.
