ACCESSIBLE PRESCRIPTION LABEL PROGRAM NOW FREE FOR BLIND AMERICANS

 

Normal, IL  3/15/11 - En-Vision America, Inc. has announced a new program to
aid the blind and visually impaired in obtaining accessible prescriptions.
Under their Pharmacy Freedom Program, eligible individuals may obtain a free
ScripTalk Station patient reader that will allow them to access their
prescription label information. Participating pharmacies attach a small RFID
label to each prescription, containing all printed information. This
provides a safe, private and independent way for the blind and visually
impaired to manage their medication regimen, as well as helping pharmacies
to comply with ADA regulations in serving their patients. Interested
individuals may contact En-Vision America to get their free reader and
provide pharmacy details. Pharmacies concerned with meeting the needs of
their special needs patients may also contact the company for more
information about the program. 

 

ScripTalk Station is a cutting-edge technological solution for prescription
medication information access. It has been adopted by the Veteran's
Administration for use in their facilities across the country. ScripTalk
utilizes RFID (radio-frequency identification) and TTS (text-to-speech)
technologies to allow those that cannot read their prescription labels a way
to access the information. It is the only product on the market to provide
full label information in a manner that meets ADA, FDCA and HIPAA
regulations. 

 

David Raistrick, Vice-President, says "We are pleased to be able to offer
this new program to sight impaired folks in the U.S.  Now safety and peace
of mind are free for patients when taking potentially dangerous
medications!"
