What Customers Say About MD.2
What Caregivers say…
"Eighteen months ago, I purchased two systems for my parents after seeing it on the internet. I cannot tell you what a good investment this has been. The units have functioned without error while allowing my parents to continue to stay in their home. What an ingenious device."

"My mother has Alzheimer's and would constantly forget to take her medications. Now, she never forgets and even calls the system 'her little buddy'."
G.G., age 58, Webster City, IA
Brain damaged patient with need for caregiver to dispense medications.
The IMD machine is being used by a person with a significant brain injury. It has enabled her to increase her independence in her apartment, as she no longer needs a caretaker coming in to reminder her to take her medications.
The machine was very simple for her to learn how to use, and it has been extremely reliable in dispensing her medications accurately. We have been able to reduce service costs by no longer needing providers there during medication times, and her self esteem has increased due to her feeling more independent and in control of taking her medications. The back-up of knowing someone will be called if a dose is missed, has been very reassuring to all involved in her life. This has been a great service enhancement when providing independent living supports to persons with special needs.

What Users say…
"I know it's great and I feel it's helped me manage my illness. People don't have to check on me all the time. I can be in control. I'd recommend it to anybody."
P.R, age 58, Santa Clara, CA
"I think it's been a wonderful thing for me because I don't forget anymore. I used to even forget my insulin sometimes and now with the reminders, I don't."
M.R., age 76, San Jose, MD.2 user for over 2 years
“With the MD.2, he is able to live on his own. It worked great. He never missed a dose. Without the MD.2 the caseworker would have to go to his home three times a day.”
J.M. Cedar Valley Medical Monitoring, Butler County Rural Electric, Allison Iowa
Independent living elderly client with numerous trips to the ER for serious problems associated with medication mismanagement.
“ After these incidents, they (the family) were sold on the idea and were able to have the MD.2 in place for her. She is doing very well with this machine and we have had no further medical emergencies.”
J.P., Associate Director Heritage Area Agency on Aging Cedar Rapids, IA
“He could not remember to take the medication” Harbst said of his father. “It was a real lucky thing we found out about this”. Instead of living under 24-hour nursing care, the senior Harbst lives in a retirement facility where only meals are provided.

“It keeps me on schedule with my insulin and other medications. My family is very happy I’m using the machine.”
B.A. BSN, RNC Mercy Home Care, Mason City IA
64 year-old CHF patient with multiple other illnesses. Had to depend on family members to assist with 14+ medications on a daily basis.
“I filled it just perfectly! This is a wonderful idea – it certainly helps you not to forget, especially at night. I’m sure I’m doing a much better job now with my medications. It also saves my hands from opening those bottles all the time.”
J.B., 64, San Jose,CA
57 year-old CHF patient who works full-time and often forgot her medications prior to the installation of the MD.2.
“It’s been a really good thing for me. Even when I’m home I’d forget to take my morning medications so I am much better at taking my medications now. I really like the reminder message to drink extra water. It makes sure I take my medications even though I am busy and active. Early dose is great!”
A.D., age 57, San Jose, CA
