Mission
To prevent the misuse of addictive drugs and keep addictive medications off the streets.
THE PROBLEM
PREVENTION
MedSafe™ addresses the problem of available opioids to both the patient and the immediate members of the household, by locking the medication in a safe tamperproof delivery device. The MedSafe is delivered to the patient preloaded with the doctor’s prescription and instructions for dispensing to the patient. The patient will set up the MedSafe to recognize, a fingerprint, photo-recognition, or numeric code. Once the device is set up, there is no need to do it again. The device will notify the patient with a gentle sound and light that it is time to take the medication. It can also send a message to the patient’s cell phone, or a supervising caregiver for monitoring.
If the prescription is set up for “as needed”, the device will flash a green light that tells the patient that their medication is available if they need it. An additional feature is the ability to send the user information to cloud servers, allowing the doctor or medical professional the ability to see how and when the patient is taking the medication and make adjustments to the delivery window if needed.
COMPLIANCE
Compliance is a key component of the MedSafe™ system. Patient monitoring by the doctor or medical professional is a key feature, with the added advantage of adding a personal caregiver to help monitor compliance. Another key feature adds tapering to compliance. The unique single-cell delivery system has the advantage of adjusting the dose of the medication or even switching to a different medication over time, without bringing th
Recovery
Med Safe™ Treatment combines all the features of prevention, compliance and tapering and adds the component of “Checking In”. Checking in allows the patient the flexibility to connect with an addiction counselor, doctor, nurse, or a combination of addiction professionals who can monitor, control medication, and stay relevant to the patient’s long-term care, at a fraction of the cost of inpatient or even outpatient care. With 100% of patients relapsing after detox who were given psychosocial support but no harm-reducing medication, a more holistic support system is needed for long-term sobriety. In addition, since the medication is locked away, it cannot find its way into the subculture of buying and selling addiction medication.
