Safe medical treatment for elderly home care

As part of services supporting elderly home care

Only medication that is taken actually works. Medication must be taken at the right time and at the correct dose. The Axitare automatic medicine dispenser brings peace of mind to home care clients, their families, and home care staff alike.

Safe medication management

The automatic medicine dispenser ensures that each dose is taken correctly, considering both the dose and the timing. Based on data from the Axitare remote care system, approximately 99% of doses are taken on time. (Based on Axitare remote care system data)

Client autonomy and independence

The medicine dispenser supports independent living at home.

Ease of use

The medicine cup is an easy and reliable way to take medication. This means the Axitare medicine dispenser is applicable for a wide range of clients. According to our research, 2/3 (~ 500) of home care clients’ family members would prefer medication to be dispensed in cups rather than sachet packaging.

Safe and flexible

The medicine dispenser ensures that doses are taken on time. If a dose is missed, an alert is sent to the nurse, who then contacts the client and can remotely dispense the missed dose—helping to avoid an unplanned home visit. Most missed doses are managed remotely without the need for a visit (approximately 80%, based on data from the Axitare remote care system).

Remote features reduce home visits

The medicine dispenser serves as a secure storage unit for medicines. Nurses can also dispense as-needed medications remotely, such as pain relief. Medication courses can be managed in the same system as well, ensuring that temporary medications are delivered just as safely and reliably as regular prescriptions.

Quick setup

The Axitare medicine dispenser can be deployed immediately for new home care clients. It can be filled with medications either from dose sachets or pharmacy packaging, or both. This allows existing, already-paid-for medications to be utilized and benefiting from the dispenser starts right away.

I don’t need to worry at all about whether my mother will get the medicines she needs on time.

”We have been very pleased with the Axitare automatic medication dispenser. Our loved one needs to go to the hospital less often as they get the right medicines at the right time. They now feel better than before the introduction of the automatic medication dispenser."

Fewer time-bound visits

A home care worker’s working day can be very hectic and tightly scheduled. Medicines given at specific times of day increase the pressure to stay on schedule. However, if the administration of the medicine is outsourced to a medication dispensing device, the time spent performing these activities is removed from the carers. This also ensures the most optimal implementation of the customer’s medical care.

When using a medicine dispenser with an integrated video call feature, medication can be administered under supervision remotely. A remote care visit can be conducted simultaneously, and the client’s functional capacity and wellbeing can be assessed. The rotatable and zoomable camera helps the nurse get a comprehensive overview and closely monitor medication intake. The large screen brings the nurse close to the client.
The integrated video call feature simplifies device management, as medicine dispensing can be managed and remote visits conducted from the same system. Staff training needs are also reduced. The nurse’s rotatable and zoomable camera enables versatile remote care.
The care organization can grant the client’s family member access rights, with which they can make video calls to their loved one. It is also possible to hold a group call involving the client, the family member and a nurse.

Utilising technology in home care frees time for care work

By introducing automatic medication dispensers, home care workers have more time to perform other types of care work tasks. At the same time, it is also easier to share work when, for example, a carer with a license to administer medication is not required to be present.

"With the help of the automatic medication dispenser, we prolong the customer’s independent life and help the customer to maintain their independence for longer."
