The Harvard Parkinson's Web: pdweb.mgh.harvard.edu | A Health Directory Parkinson's Disease Foundation A company called e-pill, LLC worked with Parkinson’s patients to develop two other pill-reminder devices that caught my eye. These are the “Six-Alarm Vibration or Sound Medication Reminder Watch” ($99.95) and the “Multi-Alarm Pill Box Timer” ($49.95). View their range of devices at www.medclock.com. The six-alarm vibrating watch, which is disguised as a handsome sports-watch, discreetly allows you to be out and about, and reminds you that it is time for your medications. The alarm can be set to either vibrate or to produce a sound. The “Multi-Alarm Pill Box Timer”, tested by a panel of Parkinson’s patients, has a built-in pillbox and has switches that slide when programming it. These switches slide making it easier to program than using the buttons found on other models. Up to thirty-six reminders can be programmed. |

| Medication Adherence & Compliance for patients with Parkinsons disease. Parkinson's Disease (PD) Patients: Improve your health by taking your Parkinson Medications (oral medications and other dosage forms of your medicine) on time and in the correct dosage. Here is a letter from one of our many Parkinsons customers e-pill Medication Reminders Subject: 12 Alarm Watch As I mentioned yesterday, I have recently purchased your 12 Alarm Watch. It's the greatest purchase I have ever made! I will explain how it has changed my life below. In the meantime I want you to know I would recommend this watch to anyone, I would give testimony to any and all people, I would go to any length to assist you in getting this watch sold and distributed. I am trying to say this in as strong a language as possible: so you will understand how strongly I feel about your product and understand what lengths I would go to assist you in your sale and distribution of this watch. I would like you to know that this watch has made my life so much easier. It has enabled me to insure I get the right medicine at the correct time and interval. I currently take Parkinsons medicine in 1 hour and 50 minute intervals. Without this alarm watch it is a nightmare to insure I take my medicine on time. I now know that I was late in taking my medicine and I think I was, on occasion, missing my medicine all together. I used to suffer 'OFF' times, on average every day or two. [After I got the watch] it [has] happened [only] once this month because I forgot to take my medicine with me, when I left the house. 'OFF' time can be very painful and uncomfortable. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you. and using your watch is a breeze and no one should be afraid of it. 1-315-781-0418, yates@hws.edu Good Medication Adherence is one of the key components for a better life as a PWP (Person With Parkinson's). Our electronic pill reminders / medication reminders (www.MEDclock.com) can help improve patient medication adherence: Medication Compliance Statistics Compliance means taking the correct amount of the prescribed medicine at the proper time. Remembering to take your medicine is the key to compliance. Medicine will be effective only when taken as prescribed by your physician. Good patient compliance and adherence means taking the right drugs, on time and in the proper doses.
