Electronic Pillbox Helps Seniors Stick
to Drug Regimens
AJC.com (Atlanta), via HealthDay
May 7
Older adults following a
medication regimen are less likely to miss doses when
reminded by an electronic pillbox that both beeps at
the appointed drug-taking time and announces the number
of pills to take and how to take them, new research
reveals. The study,
which was funded by the National Institute
on Aging, was presented recently at the American
Geriatrics Society meeting in Washington, D.C., by
co-authors Vesta
Brue, founder and chair of Lifetechniques Inc., and
Priscilla Ryder, PhD, MPH, a postdoctoral fellow at
the School of Pharmacy’s Department of Pharmaceutical
Health Services Research.
