Multi-dose dispensing all the way home — with the pharmacy on board to the end
The multi-dose roll travels from the pharmacy to the patient’s home, and MoniDose makes sure the right pouch is dispensed at the right time. The pharmacy is not left in the dark — it stays part of the care chain for the roll’s entire life cycle.
Multi-dose dispensing does not end at the pharmacy door
Multi-dose dispensing solves the assembly of the pouches — but at home a pouch can still be missed, taken at the wrong time, or become outdated after a medication change. MoniDose carries the pharmacy’s work through the last metre: the device reminds, dispenses and verifies the pouch, and the events are reported to the care team.
For the pharmacy, this means a direct channel to the care team — and visibility into whether its own work is carried out in the patient’s everyday life the way it was intended.
The pharmacy stays part of the care chain
These features are in use today — not plans.
Nurse–pharmacist communication
A direct messaging channel between the nurse and the pharmacy. Questions about medications, rolls and changes are handled without phone tag — and the conversation stays on record.
Medication orders and refill requests
The pharmacy receives medication orders and multi-dose roll refill requests directly through the system. No loose emails or paper notes.
Medication change notifications
When a patient’s medication changes, the information reaches the right people — the care team and the pharmacy — so the next roll matches the up-to-date medication list.
Optical pouch verification
The device uses a camera to verify that the correct dose pouch is dispensed at the right time. Deviations surface immediately — not at the next home visit.
Fits existing multi-dose dispensing processes
Existing multi-dose rolls
MoniDose works with the most common Finnish multi-dose pouch rolls. The pharmacy does not need to change its existing multi-dose dispensing logistics.
Fimea medication data
Medication data is based on Fimea’s official medicinal product register (VNR codes) — the same data foundation the pharmacy uses.
Three languages
The entire system works in Finnish, Swedish and English — for nurses, pharmacists, patients and families alike.
Why it pays for the pharmacy to be on board
Fewer dispensing deviations
Optical pouch verification surfaces a wrong pouch or a wrong time immediately — deviations do not stay hidden.
A direct line to the care team
The pharmacist reaches the responsible nurse in the same system where the medications and orders live.
Visibility into how treatment is carried out
Dispensing and verification events are recorded automatically, and the care team sees what actually happened. The pharmacy stays informed within its own role.
A modern service to offer
As an extension of multi-dose dispensing, the pharmacy can offer a concrete, all-the-way-home service to municipalities, wellbeing services counties and families.
Where we are today — honestly
- Kanta and e-prescription integration is planned and requires national certification — it is not yet in use.
- The MoniDose device is being developed as a Class I device under EU MDR 2017/745; the device is not yet registered.
- The device reminds, dispenses, verifies the pouch and reports events — a healthcare professional always decides on care and medication. The device does not perform drug interaction assessments.
