German Bridgend use YOURmeds to increase independence through better medication management.
What are the challenges?
Increasing medication needs are a significant challenge in social care. Age UK estimates that almost two million people aged over 65 take at least seven different prescribed medications weekly. For anyone looking to maintain independence and live in their own home, managing medication is essential. It is estimated that only 50% of all prescribed medication is taken as intended. The lack of digital monitoring means that there is no way to record data that would help assess issues and trends.

The Solution
YOURmeds is a smart medication management system that helps people take the right medication at the right time with support from their network of family and friends. Medication packs are filled and dispensed by the pharmacy team in the Community Resource Team. The real time data captured provides the Community Resource Team with evidence and insight into issues and trends. The
YOURmeds supporter app uses the “free” social capital
around a user to increase adherence and reduce the carer
burden on the primary carer
