MediBoard

MediBoard: One place to find all relevant information about your patients

Overview

MediBoard is an advanced, modular Smart Medical Device Dashboard using  a smart pill dispenser and in future using robotics-powered wearables to supercharge your healthcare management system.
Designed to assist caregivers in remotely monitoring and controlling the medication schedules and vitals of their patients. With real-time notifications, intelligent scheduling, and comprehensive analytics, MediBoard ensures reliable medication adherence and an easy overview for caregivers.

Main Features

• Patient Management: View and manage assigned patients with easy-to-use grouping options.
• Medication Tracking: Monitor pills taken by patients with a visual circular progress indicator.

• General Patient Data: Quick overview of patient's functional status, cognitive status, vision impairment, and other relevant health information.Geriatric Care Special Needs Assessment
• Remote Access: Secure web-based platform for caregivers to view patient data and make updates.
• Comprehensive Analytics: Track vital signs over time with detailed graphs to better understand patient health patterns.

Modular Features

• Vital Monitoring: Real-time tracking of heart rate and blood sugar levels through graphical representations.
  

Why a Pill Dispenser?

The need for effective medication management is growing. According to the recent ONS Census 2021 in England and Wales, there are just under 2.5 million carers in employment, with many managing the health and medication needs of others. Additionally, in 2022/23, over 836,000 people in England received publicly funded long-term social care. However, medication adherence remains a significant challenge—nearly 50% of patients miss at least one dose of their medication each month.

There are different pill taking solution on the market but none of them focus on the ease of caregivers.

Adding a pill dispenser to the smart medical devices addresses these issues by empowering caregivers to remotely monitor and control medication schedules, reducing the risk of missed doses and ensuring proper adherence.

With its advanced analytics and real-time monitoring, the pill dispenser improves patient comfort and lets caregivers feel empowered.

What do we need:

Smart Pill Dispenser: An automated system to dispense medication and track pill consumption.

Cloud Infrastructure: A robust backend to store and process patient data securely.

User-friendly Interface: A clean, intuitive dashboard design for easy navigation and data interpretation.

Data Integration System: To combine information from various sources (wearables, pill dispenser, manual input) into a cohesive dashboard.

Secure Authentication: To ensure that only authorized caregivers can access patient information.

Customizable Alerts: To notify caregivers of any significant changes or concerns in patient vitals or medication adherence.

Mobile Compatibility: To allow caregivers to access the dashboard on various devices for on-the-go monitoring.

Data Analysis Tools: To provide insights and trends from the collected patient data.

Training Program: For caregivers to effectively use and interpret the dashboard information.

Additional Modules:

Wearable Devices: Heart rate and blood sugar monitoring devices that can transmit data in real-time to the dashboard.
