Automating scheduled pill dispensing at the hospital bedside
Nursing shortages make it harder to give hospital patients their medicines on time. Repetitive medication tasks compete with direct patient care, while errors or delays in administering prescribed doses can compromise safety during a hospital stay.
BEPI Dispenser provides a bedside device that dispenses prescribed pills on schedule and alerts patients with light and sound. Nurses use a ward tablet to schedule and monitor dispensing and change therapies, while patients can confirm intake on the device.
