The cost of non-medication compliance is crippling our country's Medicaid and Medicare programs due to re-hospitalizations, many of which are preventable and unnecessary with the assistive technologies that have recently become available to the public. The AutoPills pill dispenser is one of many assistive technology devices that are designed to help individuals manage their medication and add convenience, without interrupting the medication regiment of the individual. This automated pill dispenser allows the patient to organize their medication in a structured regiment that allows for different dose times and amounts, providing freedom to those whose lives are governed by their medication intake.

      With the high cost of hospitalization on today’s Medicaid and health care institutions, the government and insurance industry has started to look into these new technologies as an alternate route to the ever expanding expenditure of this problem. There are many states that have waiver programs that will pay for this and similar devices to ward off future costs due to poor medication management. The problem continues to plague the system because the physicians are unaware or uneducated in the new assistive technology that is being paid for in order to reduce this burden. Those people, who are looking for these devices and others, for their loved ones, should inquire from their physician into the assistive technologies that are available

     AutoPills is a pioneer in the field of medication management systems designed for home use, helping to keep the need for assisted living to a minimum in cases of medication management. AutoPills has structured the design of their dispensers around the needs of family members who wish not to have to put their loved ones in assisted living homes, over mere medication management problems, allowing their loved ones to remain in their homes, with only a minimum amount of care, allowing them the freedom for a more rewarding life in their senior years.
