How TabSafe Works

First, you plug TabSafe into an electrical outlet and a phone jack so it can communicate with
family members and/or your pharmacist.Then the dosages are programmed on the TabSafe interactive
website by you, a caregiver, or by your pharmacist.
Let's say you live in an apartment at an independent living community and your doctor has
prescribed seven medications for you. Now there's an easy way to keep up with it all!
Morning
TabSafe sends out audible and visual reminders to take your medication.
You push a button and the correct number of pills is released into a
special drawer. The
drawer unlocks so you can get your medicine.
Afternoon
The audible and visual reminders begin again, but this time you don't
hear or see them because you're taking a walk. A phone call is then made to you and up to
two others who may help you with your medicine.
You return to your room minutes later, press the release button and take your medicine just
as you did before.
Let's assume that for the rest of this scenario, the TabSafe user is one who is less independent.
Evening
The TabSafe reminders go off but the pills are not retrieved. A second reminder
goes off 15 minutes later and again the pills are not taken. After another 15 minutes, a third
phone call goes out to an on-staff caregiver. They arrive at your room and ask if you need help.
The caregiver presses the release button and with the staff key opens the
locked cabinet to give
you your medicine.
If you live at an assisted living facility and need help taking your medicine, instead of audible
and visual reminders, you can have a staff caregiver stop by at a scheduled time, enter a security
PIN and get the medications out.
As you can see, there are a wide range of options for the way the TabSafe reminder and call
system is set up. And it can be changed at any time to best address the lifestyle and level of
dependency of the user.
Every single activity is accurately
captured and stored on a
Medical Administration Record (MAR)
and downloaded to a server. This will help family, caregivers and physicians determine the level
of care the patient needs.
It's that simple. So simple, you might wonder, why didn't someone think of it sooner? Well, the
important thing is that TabSafe is here. It's tested. It works. It's ready.
