[Electronics-talk] Talking Pill from Walgreens

[cheez]

>From what I know, and someone could correct me on this, the device is free. 
I don't know about your country.  It might not be available there.  And it 
may cost you an arm and a leg to have one sent to you.

> Walgreens Pharmacy has a new device called the talking pill. This is a
> device to assist blind and visually impaired individuals so they will know
> what prescription they are taking if they are unable to read the bottles.
> The device is about the size of a bottle cap and it attaches to the bottom
> of the bottle or box of prescription medication. The buttons have dots on
> them and the button with a single dot is the talk button and the button 
> with
> two dots is a timer button. The pharmacist records the information such as
> the patient's name, prescription number, physician who ordered the
> prescription and the instructions on how to take the medication. The
> pharmacist can also record information such as which medications if any it
> will interact with. It's not a synthesizer computer voice and it's the
> actual person who is filling the medication and it's their own voice. You
> can also stop and start the information if necessary. If you call in a
> pirscription, then let the call center know that you want the talking pill
> to be placed on your bottles and you will have to sign a vouture to get 
> this
> device for free. If you know anyone who is need of this device please 
> spread
> the word!
