The Simple Way for Patients
to Keep Up with Their Medication

If your patients are having difficulty remembering to take their medication correctly, having problems keeping up with their medical appointments, or need cues to complete daily tasks, then you should recommend our SmartMinder™ service.

SmartMinder™ lets your patients keep up with medication while they are going about their daily life. There is no special equipment to purchase; reminders are sent to the patient’s existing pager or cell phone. There is no elaborate system to program or alarms to set—the patient just tells us what reminders they want and when they would like to receive them, and we take care of the rest. And unlike medication alert boxes or computer reminders, patients can be anywhere and still receive the reminders they need.

Not taking medication as prescribed by you could have a negative effect on a patient’s medical condition. For one reason or another, about 50% of people do not use their medication as directed.

  • Noncompliance contributes to 10 percent of hospitalizations, 25 percent of nursing home admissions and the loss of 20 million workdays per year.

  • Annual costs of noncompliance are estimated to be greater than $100 billion.

It is for these reasons, and more, that our SmartMinder™ service is being made available to your patients. Recommend SmartMinder™ with confidence.
