The Ministry of Health presented 4 ways to provide a reminder system to take medication for the elderly category, including the use of temporary alerts.
The ministry explained that food safety at home requires creating a reminder system for taking medication through the use of a pill case, the use of a timer alert, the use of a schedule, and the use of a smartphone application.
She pointed out that medicines help the elderly manage their health status, but it is always necessary to inquire with each medicine that is taken about the reason for dispensing them and the extent of their need, the method of taking it, its side effects, and the method of storing it, while informing the doctor of all the medicines that were previously taken.
