Pill Dispenser
Enables independent medication dispensing at home.
The Adi PCB within the Pivotell/Careousel Advanced Pill Dispenser enables independence for a person at home by prompting them to take their medication. It will raise an alert if medication is not taken within a prescribed time.
The Pill Dispenser is a monitored device designed to promote independence and well-being by ensuring medication adherence and correct dosage. It’s pre-loaded with medication and only releases the right pills at scheduled times, making others inaccessible. With 28 compartments for medication, the Pill Dispenser reduces the need for visits to supervise medication and enhances independence and quality of life. It may also lead to fewer hospitalisations, doctor visits, and better mental health for the user.
Alerts if medication is not taken at the correct time.
Features
User reminders
The Pill Dispenser audibly and visually reminds the user that it is time to take medication. Tipping pills into a hand clears the reminder.
Voice announcement
A SEVEN base unit will play a voice announcement as a secondary reminder for users to take their medication during the dose event.
Comprehensive monitoring
The monitoring centre is alerted if medication isn’t taken on time, to low battery level or if the dispenser tray jams.
Who is it for?
The intended user is someone at home who requires assistance with medication. They may benefit from reminders or help to take the right medication and dosage, at the right time, especially when taking multiple medications throughout the day. A monitored medication reminder system can provide timely support with medication adherence or to resolve any issues or concerns the user may have when using an electronic dispensing system.
Alert Handling and Response Processes
Set up the Pill Dispenser with SEVEN.
A pharmacy or service provider pre-loads medications into the Pill Dispenser and sets the dispensing times, which can be adjusted within a 5-minute to 5-hour window. We suggest a minimum 20-minute dispensing window.
When it’s time for a dose, the Pill Dispenser rotates to present the medication, unlocks its cover, flashes a light, and sounds an alarm.
The user picks up the dispenser and tips out the pills.
SEVEN notifies the monitoring center when the dose is dispensed. The dispenser is then reset for the next dose.
If a user hasn’t taken their medication halfway through the scheduled time, SEVEN plays a reminder message. If medication isn’t dispensed within 3 minutes after the reminder, the monitoring center is alerted for follow-up support.

When its time for a dose the Pill Dispenser rotates to open, unlocks, and flashes a light while sounding an alarm.

Reminder
