There are a lot of responsibilities that come with being a caregiver, especially when the person you are caring for requires medication various times throughout the day. Remembering precise doses and pill regimes can be tough, and mistakes in dosing can lead to accidental ADRs (adverse drug reactions), or worse. In fact, errors in medication management can lead to up to 25% of annual U.S. hospitalizations.

Taking the right medications at the right times can be important – even essential – to your health and wellbeing. If this is the case for you, you need to trust that your medication is going to be right every time. One way people manage their important medications is by using an automatic pill dispenser – but can you trust them when it matters most?
