An estimated 50% of
prescriptions are not taken properly, and as many as 20% of
hospitalizations of people
over 50 have been attributed to adverse reactions to medications or
non-compliance with drug use instructions. National Advisory
Council on Aging, Caution: Medications!, 2002.
Managing your medication can
be a difficult task but it is one of the most important for
preserving a healthy, independent lifestyle. The
LifeguardSLU has a medication reminder
that can be set with up to 50 daily reminders to take your
medication. We can also program your LifeguardSLU with different
medication names to remind you what prescription to take when your
reminder alert sounds.
Lifeguard is also the only
personal emergency response system to offer all subscribers with
iERDE (Coming Soon!). iERDE is an Emergency Response
Dialling Engine that can call or email you with a pre-recorded
medication reminder that may also request a mandatory response.
With both the
LifeguardSLU and
iERDE, you will spend less time
worrying about your prescription schedule and have more time to
enjoy your life.
