Background information on YourMEDS

YOURmeds aims to simplify the way in which medication can be managed.

The packs‘ ’smart tag’ is powered by mobile technology so wifi is not needed to operate the system.

When it’s time to take your medication a number comes up on the screen and the unit beeps 6 times. The alarms and beeping can be personalised to fit in with your daily schedule. Once you access the medication, the beeping stops and the next alarm time is shown in the top left hand corner. If you don’t access your medication within 30 minutes or take the wrong ones, we can inform your network of family and friend via the YOURmeds supporter app or through an email.

The starter pack comes with all of the hardware, access to the YOURmeds supporter app and 13 trays and seals. The trays can accommodate up to 4 rounds a day.
