Prescription
medicines are an important component of health management, however a
growing volume of research indicates a disturbing trend in
consumer noncompliance. Millions of Americans do not take their
medicines correctly. People simply forget to take them, are confused
about the proper dosage and timing, or lack the personal organization to
carry out the daily task.
After
noticing the problem of consumer noncompliance, Martin Cooper began a
project based on a simple idea;
create a talking system of remembering your daily medications using the
date of the month - the MedCenter System.
"Growing
up, my father would forget to take his necessary medication - which
would result in him fainting
and passing out," says Martin Cooper, the inventor of The MedCenter
System. “Coming up with a way to organize my parents’ medications and
encourage their adherence was the true motivation behind creating the
system,” he says.
The entire month's meds can be loaded once, which saves time and can be more convenient for a caregiver than daily or weekly maintenance. There are up to four daily alarms for taking medication, with a talking alarm clock to help prompt those who need to take meds. The large LCD display is easy to read, even in the dark.
Other products include: the Monthly Mini Monthly Organizer
($24.95), Traveler Weekly Organizer ($19.95), Daily Pill Organizer
($18.95), Daily Pill Organizer with Alarm ($28.95), and 5-Alarm Sport
Watch ($24.95). More products can be seen here.
MedCenter System products can be found nationwide at any
WALGREENS, select Kroger pharmacies, Amazon.com, WalMart.com, Target.com,
Meijer.com, CVS.com, Sears.com, Kmart.com, and more, and on www.medcentersystems.com.
