The patent is gaining traction. A startup company's medication dispenser could save people from overdose or even death. The Pirkanmaa-based company promises to save nurses' time in healthcare and reduce costs for society.
The goal of Akaa-based startup MoniDose is nothing less than saving millions of euros in healthcare by improving nurses' time efficiency and ensuring that home care patients take their medication correctly.
A foolproof medication dispenser
The MoniDose medication dispenser is designed to be so simple that errors are practically impossible. The device ensures that:
The right medication goes to the right person
Medication is taken at the right time
The dosage is always correct
Deviations are reported immediately
Significant impact on healthcare
In home healthcare, distributing medication takes an enormous amount of nurses' time. MoniDose automates this process and frees up nurses' time for actual care work. At the same time, the system reduces medication errors, which are one of the most significant patient safety risks.
Patent strengthens market position
MoniDose's patent application has progressed strongly, which strengthens the company's market position and protects the innovation from competitors.
