Why MoniDose?
A medication dispenser developed in Finland, designed to address medication safety challenges in home care and care homes. Automated dispensing, device-status and event reporting, and digital documentation in one package.
Why choose MoniDose?
MoniDose is a Finnish medication dispenser that differs from hand-dispensing and pill organisers in three ways. It dispenses pharmacy-packed dose sachets automatically at the right time, it identifies the sachet before dispensing it, and it records every taken and missed dose without a nurse writing anything down. One device serves two patients on separate schedules and logs, which halves the device cost for couples and shared rooms. A missed dose raises an alert to the responsible nurse and to the family. The underlying problem is medication safety: Finland records roughly 28,000 medication-related incident reports a year. MoniDose is a Class I medical device under EU MDR 2017/745, registered with Fimea and in EUDAMED; CE marking is coming soon.

Based on publicly available information, the only dual-patient medication dispenser
We are not aware of another commercial home dispenser in Finland, Europe, or worldwide that offers dual-user mode. One MoniDose device serves two patients with separate schedules, alarms, and logs.
