Oxfordshire County Council, GB smart pill box trial increases independence after hospital visits
Oxfordshire County Council, GB Smart Pill Box Trial Hospital
The 16-month pilot supplies CONNECT Care smart pill boxes to 50 participating seniors following hospital discharges. Recipients are reminded by timed lights and buzzing sounds to take their medications. The CONNECT Care device also alerts the patient and their carer by text message in case multiple doses are missed. Oxfordshire County Council and NHS partners focused on seniors with two or more medications during the trial.
