Mini motor provides control for automated medication dispenser
The
Portescap mini motors provide a cost-effective, maintenance-free solution for the medication dispenser, which can be installed in systems designed for home use.
Automated medication dispensers for use by the patient have become more widespread with an increasing population and a demand for easier and more controlled self-administration of medication. Designed to be used without medical supervision, automated medication dispensers significantly reduce the potential of patients taking the wrong medicine at the wrong time or failing to administer. The dispensers also give patients greater control over their own medical care. The key demands on the system include accuracy and reliability of alerting the patient and dispensing, as well as ease of use for patients who are often elderly. Considering the public user base, automated medication dispensers also have to be low cost and must feature a robust construction.
