Listen to the NPR MD.2 Story: MD.2 on the RADIO

Elderly Forego Some Medications: It's estimated that at least half of the nation's senior citizens don't take their medications as prescribed, or at all. In many cases, it's because they can't afford one or more prescriptions per month. (National Public Radio: Joseph Shapiro reports)

MD.2 Phenomenal Helper

We bought this for an elderly parent who had trouble taking medication without reminders. We set this MD.2 machine up carefully and monitored her use of it -- she's had no trouble adapting to it, and she actually enjoys interacting with it. This saved us an uncalculated amount of anxiety, and she gets her medications on time, in easy-to-use little cups. Brilliant! S.D. Bay Area CA

MD.2 Small Price for Peace of Mind

The e-pill automatic dispenser shipped quickly and set up easily. The call center truly is always available to help you with any questions. It takes a huge load off my mind. My mother now takes her medicines as needed and at the right time. She loves it and recommended the device to her sister and two neighbors. This device has allowed my mom to maintain her independance and stay healthy. At the same time, I am certain she isn't forgetting to take her medicines or accidently overdosing. This is much, much cheaper than hiring someone to help remind her to take her medications. My friend has purchased the automatic pill dispenser for her dad who suffers from mild confusion. It has been a lifesaver for her as well. This is well worth the money. What else can I say? I highly recommended this product. L.L. Southfield, MI

MD2 is all that the previous reviews touted! So happy!

This thing is great. We bought it in December 2007 because my mom was probably not taking her medications as directed. Just as importantly, though, she was getting very stressed about whether she was taking what she should because she is aware enough to be concerned. Whenever I was visiting, she would occasionally wander over to her pill bottles and start quietly going through them, reading them, worrying to herself. I hated it.

I looked on the internet for an automated dispenser and found this MD2 which not only dispenses on a schedule, but calls out to my mom in a woman's voice at dose time, calls me on the phone(!) if my mom misses a dose (only once so far) or when the machine is running low on meds (every Thursday at 8:05pm), or when the machine is completely empty (8:05pm on Sundays - I am always at my mom's house when this happens ready to refill for the next week). It has been very reliable.

The machine is very easy to use for both the caregiver and for the patient. My mom trusts it and so do I. The first time going to the website to schedule the doses and the first time filling it is a little intimidating but after doing it all once, it is effortless. I go over once a week to refill the machine and it has just worked great! My mom's med schedule doesn't change so I have not had to go back to the website since the first time I set it up. Along with the medicine, I also have little notes that I put in the cup with detailed instructions for my mom. She saves the cups and notes and I just reuse them again and again which makes refilling take about 5 minutes (22 dose cups - 4 on Sundays, 3 every other day).

I highly recommend this machine. Initially I wondered about the price but now that we have bought it, I would do it again in a second ($800 including fast shipping). My mom loves it and regularly brings up how great it is in conversation and thanks me a often for getting it. Aside from actually taking what she should, she does not worry about her meds any more and that is the part I like most. Bob from VA (Northern VA, USA)

MD.2 Life Saver

The e-pill Automatic Pill Dispenser is, truly, a life saver! My parents were over and under medicating themselves in spite of my best efforts (daily visits and phone calls). I was at wits' end and seriously contemplating assisted living/nursing home placement for them.The MD2 is easy to use and offers lots of support.Connected to a phone line, it monitors pill distribution (will dial caregiver in the event of missed doses), lets you know when refills are needed, and can be easily reprogrammed as needs arise. Worth every penny and MORE!!! B.M Boston, MA

The e-pill Monitored Automatic Medication Dispenser MD.2 is a medication system that organizes, reminds, dispenses and tracks all medication delivery. It is web-enabled for activity or report generation and can call caregivers, case managers or clinicians when a dose is missed. The MD.2 in total has over 3 Million dispense cycles in the database history with an astounding on-time dispense rate of 98.6%, a tremendous improvement over what is usually considered by many as a mere 50% or less compliance with prescribed drug therapy.

Boston based e-pill, LLC distributes the MD.2 Personal Medication Dispenser to address medication non-adherence issues, which the government is calling a national epidemic. Stefan Solvell, e-pill’s President and Manager states, “Patient Compliance and Medication Adherence is a growing problem across the nation. Some have called it America’s other drug problem.

Interactive Medical Developments (IMD), the manufacturer of the e-pill Monitored Automatic Medication Dispenser MD.2 is a recipient of the Home Safety Council’s Commendation Award for Product Innovation for Consumer Safety for the MD.2 Personal Medication Dispenser. Use of the Commendation Award logo by IMD indicates that the Council has evaluated the MD.2 based upon information furnished by the manufacturer and believes the product demonstrates an innovative use of safety features.

MD.2 FAQs Frequently Asked Questions Automatic Monitored Pill Dispenser

What is the MD.2 Monitored Automatic Pill Dispenser (Medication Dispensing System?

The MD.2 Automated Monitored Medication Dispensing System, or MD.2 for short, is an easy-to-use medication management device for individuals who have trouble remembering, organizing and taking their medications. This fully integrated system simplifies medication organization and delivery, reminds individuals to dispense and take their medications on schedule, and monitors patient compliance.

MD.2 is a home-based system (also used by assisted living facilities & nursing homes) that will help dispense any oral medication plus give verbal and text reminders for non-oral medications or specific medication directions (i.e. "take with food").

How does MD.2 from e-pill work?

At individualy designated times, a reassuring voice, a flashing light and text message will alert the individual that it is time for their medication. The individual simply presses the large exterior button and an easy-to-open, reusable cup containing the medications is dispensed. Watch a Short MD.2 Video.

Medications never touch the dispensing unit thereby preventing potential contamination. Instructions, such as "Take with water" can be announced when the button is pressed. That's it!

MD.2 will then tell the individual when their next dose is on the easy-to-read LCD screen.

Who should use MD.2?

MD.2 is designed to fill the "gap" between little or no medication assistance and full time medication management. MD.2 works well for individuals who have trouble with forgetfulness, taking too much or too little medication, the wrong medication, or wrong day's medications. It is ideal for patients suffering from mild to moderate dementia (Alzheimer's, psychiatric conditions) or dexterity issues (tremors, severe arthritis), as well as patients with complicated medications schedules, such as congestive heart failure.

How will MD.2 help individuals and caregivers?

Medications and supplements help all of us get well and stay healthy. But trying to remember what pills to take when, unscrewing then recapping medication vials, counting out small pills, and opening tiny pillboxes is a struggle for many people. Unfortunately, missing just a few doses of medication, or taking too many or too few pills, can result in worsening of an illness or even hospitalization.

With the help of MD.2, individuals can KEEP their current lifestyle, MAINTAIN their independence and STAY in their residence.

Customer comments: "I don't have to worry about my medications anymore."

Caregivers benefit in several ways.

MD.2 provides peace-of-mind via a built-in monitoring system and a locked medication cabinet

MD.2 will reduce the time caregivers spend organizing and managing medications turning "have to" trips into "want to" trips.

MD.2 reduces the stress of the medication system and schedule "chaos" by making it easier to organize, remind and dispense your loved one's medications.

Is MD.2 easy to use?

Absolutely. Advanced, one button design, multiple audible, visual and text reminders, and easy-to-open medicine dispensing cups (even with arthritis) make MD.2 easy to use and operate for any individual capable of self-medicating.

How does the monitoring service work?

Using the individual's phone line, MD.2 will automatically call up to four (4) caregivers in sequence alerting the caregivers that the user has missed a dose. Any caregiver reached must acknowledge they received the call by pressing "1" on the phone (eliminating answering machines that have been reached). If all caregivers fail to respond to the message, the call center is alerted (e-pill offers 60 days of FREE monitoring. Monitoring service is $29.95 per month after the free 60 days. Monitoring service is billed quarterly).

MD.2 does NOT need a special or separate phone line for this monitoring service and ONLY utilizes the phone line when action is needed.

MD.2 will also call the caregivers if it needs to be refilled (1-2 days prior). Nightly, MD.2 will call the Support Center via a toll-free number and perform a series of quality checks. If MD.2 fails to perform a nightly call-in, the Support Center is alerted.

Who installs and maintains MD.2?

MD.2 is designed to be easy to install and maintain. If the user is currently receiving help with their medications, the manufacturer recommends that the current caregiver install and maintain MD.2. The unit comes complete with toll-free 24/7 set-up support. Once installed, some individuals may be able to manage and maintain the unit.

Are the medications and the medication schedule secured?

Yes. MD.2 has numerous features geared towards medication security. Access to medication cups can be locked (keys are included) ensuring individuals only receive medications when appropriately scheduled. Missed doses are stored away in the machine so that an individual does not take a "double dose." Finally, the medication schedule can only be changed by calling the Support Center.

What if the user is away from home during dosing periods?

The flexibility of MD.2 allows users to dispense their medication "early" and not miss a dose. A special button labeled "EARLY DOSE" is located inside the locked side cabinet. After the door is unlocked, the EARLY DOSE button is pressed and the next available dose is dispensed. The EARLY DOSE feature can be utilized for as many dosing periods as needed allowing individuals the flexibility they want.

Will MD.2 continuously tie up a phone line?

NO. MD.2 utilizes the individual's existing phone line to make outbound calls. MD.2 only calls out on the phone line when action is needed (i.e. MD.2 needs to be refilled). A separate or special phone line is NOT needed.

How many days of medications will MD.2 hold?

It depends on how many dosing periods per day the user needs. MD.2 can dispense up to 6 dosing periods per day and hold up to 60 medication cups. Most people take their medications 2 to 3 times per day. In these cases, MD.2 will hold three to four weeks (20-30 days) of medication.

Who is a caregiver?

The caregiver is the person (or persons) that currently helps the user with their medications. The manufacturer recommends that the current caregiver installs and maintains the MD.2.

What if the power goes out?

MD.2 comes with a battery backup that will provide alternative power for up to 18 hours.

Does MD.2 have special features to help the elderly and disabled?

Yes. To help the visually impaired, reminders are both audible (spoken words and tones) and visual (a flashing red strobe light). The large dispensing button is significantly raised and is easy to identify by touch alone. Additionally, the button is red, the color most easily seen by elderly with cataracts. For the hearing impaired, reminders are in text and visual (flashing red strobe light) and audible volumes can be adjusted. The medication cups are large with easy-to-open lids (even with arthritis). The buttons have a very low push "threshold" making them easy for the elderly to engage.

How much does MD.2 cost?

MD.2 costs $799.95 (sale price) including 60 days of FREE monitoring service. This is a great value considering MD.2 helps with the daily chore of organizing and remembering the medications, supplements, dosing periods and instructions. Plus, caregivers get the peace of mind knowing medications are secure and dispensing is monitored.

It is also a great value considering the alternatives. Medicare does not cover medication management and private pay home health for this service can run from $100-$200 or more per month depending on the frequency of visits. If the individual has to move to a higher level of care, such as assisted living or nursing homes, average costs range from $2,500 per month (assisted living) to $4,000 per month (nursing home). Finally, poor medication management can often lead to hospitalization where just a three day stay will cost the Medicare patient $200-$400.

MD.2 VA Study

The MD.2 Personal Medication System is an easy to use, reliable medication delivery system that simplifies medication organization and delivery, reminds individuals to take their medications on schedule and monitors compliance.

San Antonio Veterans Administration

Extended Care – MD.2 Personal Medication System - Pilot Study

April 2004

Authors: Eva Downey RN, BS, M.Ed.
Lena K. Adams RN, C, BSN

Executive Summary

Integration of the MD.2 into the continuum of care for home based primary care and extended day care patients resulted in improved clinical markers. When implementing the MD.2 care must be taken to monitor therapeutic values as pre-implementation lab data may be reflective of non-adherent behaviors resulting in increased dosages. When medications are taken as prescribed lower doses may be effective. Nurse satisfaction with the MD.2 varies and may be relative to training and understanding of all continuum of care issues. Patient satisfaction was measured at 82% in terms of ease of use and helpfulness with managing medication. Hospital admissions appear to have been reduced with the MD.2. Caution should be used in interpretation of these findings. In addition to the MD 2 intervention, all participants in the pilot were receiving case management, nursing care, and medical management from the Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) Team. Hence, it is not possible to tell whether the positive findings for the MD 2 can be attributed to the medication administration device or to contemporaneous HBPC interventions.

RESULTS coming soon or contact the San Antonio Veterans Administration.

Patient Compliance

Medication non-compliance (non-adherence), the failure to take drugs on time in the dosages prescribed, is as dangerous and costly as many illnesses.

Studies have shown than non-compliance causes 125,000 deaths annually in the US (2), leads to 10 to 25 percent of hospital and nursing home admissions, and is becoming an international epidemic. It is, in the words of The New York Times (1) the world’s "other drug problem".

Negative Economic Effects of Non-Compliance

· 23% of nursing home admissions due to noncompliance(3). Cost $31.3 billion / 380,000 patients.

· 10% of hospital admissions due to noncompliance (4,5). Cost $15.2 billion / 3.5 million patients.

Prescriptions

· About 50% of the 2 billion prescriptions filled each year are not taken correctly (7).

· 1/3 of patients take all their medicine, 1/3 take some, 1/3 don't take any at all (Rx prescription never filled) (6).

Care Giving

· 25,000,000 nonprofessional caregivers in the US (8).

· 80% of nonprofessional caregivers are women (8).

· 80%-90% of people requiring care in the US receive it from family members or friends (9).

PARENT concerns? Distant Care? Remember?

We provide practical reminder devices to address some of the common problems and complications related to older adults and prescription medications. Patient Compliance Statistics

Distant caregiving or worrying about a loved one living independently is a major concern. Making sure that a family member is taking their proper medication on time is only one issue that families and friends face. Does a loved one forget to take their pills? Do they take the wrong pills or perhaps forget if they took their pills?

One of the primary causes of hospitalization and premature institutionalization of older adults is the inappropriate use of prescription medications, drug interactions or failure to properly take the medications.

As people grow older their ability to follow prescription (rx) and other medication (OTC, supplements) instructions is decreased.

We offer a line of "Age-In Place" products that can help the patient remember to take medications on time. We recommend:
