Valuable Insight:
In proto-type testing ,we found that seniors will often press lots of random buttons. This led to the Reminder being deprogramed or programmed for the wrong time. Here was the BIG PROBLEM!. Seniors would never tell anybody what they did because they were too embarrassed. The Med Dispenser ended up in a drawer.
The Med-Q Solution
We design a very specific programming set-up to make sure this doesn’t happen. This being said, pressing a few buttons in the right order prevents the issue. Total set up can be done in under 2 Minutes max. Battery life is 14-16 months so no worries for a long time
Med-Q’s Audio Alarms are designed for Senior Hearing.
Med-Q’s first Prototype had a very LOUD, hour long alarm. Problem. Loud Alarms Startled Seniors and they would Pull Out the Batteries. Seniors knew the alarm would stop and they “would routinely wait it out”
The Med-Q “5” Minute Escalating Alarm Solution:
Minutes 1 & 2 100% volume
Beeps every Second
Minutes 3 & 4 150% volume
Beeps every 4 Seconds
Minute 5 200% volume
Beeps every 8 Seconds
Designed not to scare, but eventually heard through out the home. A great feature for those living in apartments for neighbors.
FYI: Genius Design offers maximum battery life. One less thing to worry about
Miss a Pill…No Worries
MED-Q’s 5 minute alarms will repeat every 25 minutes until the pills are taken. Why a did MED-Q choose a 5 Minute Alarm? Our first Prototype had a very,very loud alarm that went for 1 full hour. Here is what happened:
1) The Loud alarm startled /scared users. They pulled the batteries out and never told anyone.
2) Users knew the alarm would stop in an Hour and routinely “Wait it Out”. The would then take med when they were ready. If your reading this, you know that does not work.
Med-Q had a compliancy rate in the mid/high 70%’s.
When we changed the alarm to get progressively louder and repeat every 25 (30 min total) our complaince rate went through the roof (High 90%’s with in 1 hour of pill times)
Med-Q genius design makes it easier to take pills then putting it off.
