[Electronics-talk] recordable medication bottle system

[Tracy Carcione]

I ask the pharmacist, then I take a paper label, the big kind sighted people
write addresses on, stick it in my slate, and write down what the medicine
is and how much and how often it's supposed to be taken, then stick the
label on the box or bottle.

Lauren:

 

The outfit is Envision America; just Google that in quotes and I'd bet you
get to it in the first result. But I dare say it's
http://envisionamerica.com <http://envisionamerica.com/> . There is an audio
gizmo for each medication bottle and the pharmacist uses another gadget to
record the prescription info on the bottles. Some pharmacies and chains use
it; some don't.

 

If no one in your area uses the system, why not use a slate or dymowriter to
put dymo labels with prescription number on the bottles and just take a
digital recorder of some sort to the pharmacy and have the pharmacist read
the prescription info uncluding number for each prescription into the
recorder? You could also use  a PenFriend to do the same.

 

We blind people don't always need fancy-shmancy ways of doing things.

 

Mike

Lauren,

Maybe a partial answer for you or others.  I am with Kaiser and the
pharmacist just spoke the directions etc, kind of cool.  The point is many
times companies have things, yet nobody knows about it, so they discontinue,
because nobody used it, because nobody knew it was there.

Now it looks like the Kaiser does not have it.  It was like a little battery
pack, attached to a medicine bottle, with a push button, nothing to buy.

That does not answer your specific question, just a little extra thought,
tom

Hi, What is the name of the company, and its website, who make a system that
the blind person keeps with them at home, that they bring into the pharmacy
to have their medication bottle info recorded onto it? Can more than one
prescription be recorded if someone picks up more than one medication? or
does it just record one bottle's info at a time? thanks, LaurenSent from my
