How the medication dispenser works

Dispensing and reminders

• The doses are refilled by home care staff using Apodos rolls.
• When it is time to take your medicine, the device gives sound, light and voice signals.
• You press a button to receive your pre-cut dose pouch.
  

What happens if you miss a dose or if something goes wrong?

• If you miss a scheduled time, the dose pouch is placed in a locked compartment and home care staff receive an alert.
• The device has a battery that lasts for 24 hours in case of a power outage.
• The safety and monitoring centre supervises the system and will contact you if there are any problems.
• Home care or home healthcare staff can step in manually if the device does not work.
  

Adjustments and interruptions
