FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started with MedMinder

Do I need to have Internet access at home in order to use MedMinder?

No. There is no need for a computer or any other type of Internet access.

What do I need to have at home in order to operate MedMinder?

All you need is electricity and wireless (cellular) coverage in the area in which you are using MedMinder (as you would with a cell phone). The pill dispenser has an internal cellular modem.

What happens if I lose electricity?

Rechargeable batteries are already installed in case of a power outage. The Battery will last for 12 hours.

What if I need to change my medication schedule during the week?

You can always change your medication schedule or any of your preferences by accessing your account at www.medminder.com. You can also call MedMinder and we will make the requested changes for you.

How fast do you ship the MedMinder unit?

Your MedMinder order is shipped within one business day of placing the order. We ship it from Massachusetts and use UPS.

Operating MedMinder

What do the different color status lights do?

The instructions that come with your unit include a visual chart displaying the meaning of each light or combination of lights.

Can someone with a vision or hearing disability use MedMinder?

Yes. MedMinder provides alerts that are both visual and auditory. The beeps can be easily heard and the lights flash on & off to get your attention. The system also provides automatic phone calls as reminders, in case the lights and beeps do not prompt taking the scheduled medication. You can also choose to receive just some of the reminders and disable the others. If you are visually impaired, the unit opens easily and the cups and compartments are large enough to feel and easy to remove and replace.

What if I don’t want to receive all the reminders available, just some of them?

You or your caregiver can select which reminders (beeps, flashing lights, phone calls, text messages or all) you want to receive. You can also change these selections at any time.

Can I take MedMinder with me if I go away for several days or go away on vacation?

Yes. MedMinder is completely portable and the prescription schedule will remain intact. If there is no wireless coverage in the area where you are staying, the lights and beeps will still operate. Phone calls, email and text messages will work when you are back in a wireless coverage area

Medication Trays: Fills and Refills

Does MedMinder provide reminders when it’s time to refill the tray?

Yes. When you register MedMinder, you can schedule a Refill Reminder. If the medication tray is not refilled at the scheduled time, you and your caregivers will be notified by the system. Keep in mind that the Refill Reminder is optional and you can refill the MedMinder at any time.

What happens if my prescription changes before the next scheduled refill?

Not a problem. Open the lid and make the needed medication changes (as you would with a simple pillbox). The system will report that an unscheduled refill was made.

How long will a full medication tray last?

Each medication tray has 28 compartments (4 rows with 7 compartments in each row). Each tray can hold 1 week to 4 weeks of medication, depending on the number of dosages per day.

3 to 4 Doses Per Day1 week of medication per tray.
