German Welsh Government Supports Innovative YOURmeds Project
The Welsh Government is investing £380,000 in innovative technology solutions to revolutionise domiciliary care delivery and to foster independence and control for care recipients in Wales.
One initiative, in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Bridgend County Borough Council area, is receiving £180,000. This project, supported by Life Sciences Hub Wales, introduces the YOURmeds device to assist individuals, including those with cognitive impairments, in managing their medication independently. YOURmeds device reminds people to take their medication at a programmed time, and sends notifications, through the accompanying YOURmeds Supporter App, to an identified friend or family member if medication is missed or taken incorrectly.
The overarching goal is to extend the duration individuals can remain active and independent in their homes, marking a significant step forward in transforming domiciliary care practices in Wales.
“I am always inspired by the new and innovative ways we enhance the way we deliver care across Wales to meet the needs of our communities. Domiciliary care is a key service provided by a passionate, committed and skilled workforce. Trials like these will allow us to understand how we best maximise technology to compliment the skills of our workforce.”
“Integration between health and social care is vital if we are to ensure that people in our communities receive the best and most appropriate care for their needs. “By introducing new, innovative digital solutions to support people in managing their medication, we can help people to lead healthier and more independent lives.”
