Medication Trays: Fills and Refills

Yes. When you register MedMinder, you can schedule a Refill Reminder. If the medication tray is not refilled at the scheduled time, you and your caregivers will be notified by the system. Keep in mind that the Refill Reminder is optional and you can refill the MedMinder at any time.

Not a problem. Open the lid and make the needed medication changes (as you would with a simple pillbox). The system will report that an unscheduled refill was made.

Operating MedMinder

The instructions that come with your unit include a visual chart displaying the meaning of each light or combination of lights.
Yes. MedMinder provides alerts that are both visual and auditory. The beeps can be easily heard and the lights flash on & off to get your attention. The system also provides automatic phone calls as reminders, in case the lights and beeps do not prompt taking the scheduled medication. You can also choose to receive just some of the reminders and disable the others. If you are visually impaired, the unit opens easily and the cups and compartments are large enough to feel and easy to remove and replace.
You or your caregiver can select which reminders (beeps, flashing lights, phone calls, text messages or all) you want to receive. You can also change these selections at any time.
Yes. MedMinder is completely portable and the prescription schedule will remain intact. If there is no wireless coverage in the area where you are staying, the lights and beeps will still operate. Phone calls, email and text messages will work when you are back in a wireless coverage area.
