60% of prescribed medications are not taken as directed by seniors.

Medication Compliance
The Health & Safety Monitoring System uses a friendly voice to prompt medication dosages as needed throughout the day. A confirmation button on the monitoring console makes it easy to see that meds are actually being taken. Live intervention with a care specialist will occur if a medication is missed.
