Maya looks like a basic seven-day pillbox. Designed with ease of use in mind, its simple and friendly interface has no digital readouts or buttons. The pills dispenser contains 28 compartments for a week's supply of medication and can accommodate dozens of different types of pills.
Maya is equipped with wireless technology (internal cellular modem) that updates MedMinder's central computer about the patient's dosage activity. This information is available, over the web, for caregivers who can also receive immediate email or text messages notifications and weekly reports.
You or your caregiver can easily program Maya and customize preferences remotely via the Internet. You can also call MedMinder and we will do this for you. At the patient's home, there is no need for a computer, phone line, wireless router or any other form of Internet access.
Patient reminders: When it's time to take a medication, the appropriate compartment flashes. If the cup is not removed within the assigned timeframe, the patient can get auditory prompts as well as optional automatic phone calls, text message and emails.
Remote monitoring capabilities: Maya keeps records of patient activities. The caregiver can access this information via the Internet or receive real-time email or text messages notifications. Weekly email reports are also available. See a complete list of notifications available via Maya.
Example:
If a medication cup is not removed from Maya at the scheduled day and time, the wrong cup is removed, or refill was missed, MedMinder's central computer is immediately alerted. A series of pre-programmed alerts, such as beeps, lights, phone calls, text messages or emails are sent to remind the patient to take the scheduled medications. A caregiver(s) may also be alerted by pre-programmed personal settings. The data about the activity will be available online as well.
Using Maya, the patient's support system - family, friends and professional caregivers - can work together to monitor and positively influence the patient's wellness that is associated with their medication adherence.
Two easy re-filling options:
Manual: Simply lifting Maya's lid opens all of the 28 compartments, allowing the caregiver or patient to place the medications in the proper cups
Pre-filled tray: Maya also accepts MedMinder-supplied trays pre-filled by a pharmacist or caregiver. This feature greatly reduces the risk of medications errors and ensures all compartments are correctly filled.
Reports:
MedMinder provides rich reports regarding the medication activity. Detailed reports show when cups were taken out of the medication dispenser, when refilled and if any medications were mised. If you choose MedMinder will email you these reports pro-actively. Example of a weekly report:
