Telepharmacy Robotic Medicine Delivery Unit "TRMDU" Assessment
Evaluation of a Telepharmacy Robotic Medicine Delivery Unit in Warrior Transition Unit Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or Polytrauma
調査の概要
詳細な説明
The military has been witnessing an increased number of patients with combat related impairments such as traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder and polytrauma which has lead to sub optimal medication self management. TRMDU is a medical device developed by INRange Systems Inc. that delivers medications and emits a sound alert to assist the patient. It can be used in a hospital, clinic, or residential setting. It can be remotely accessed by the health care professionals, and it allows physicians and other prescribers to remotely change scheduling or adjust prescriptions.
Use of TRMDU in hospital settings is expected to improve outcomes by improving medication self management, increasing adherence, reducing medication errors, and thereby associated costs. Further, it may contribute to overall improvement in a patient's psychological well-being and quality of life.
