WELCOME
Introducing exciting, revolutionary timing devices that can impact the way medication is taken—a technology so important in its potential impact to healthcare.
THE PROBLEM
“Pharmaceutical noncompliance [failure to take medication as prescribed, or failure to take medication in a timely manner] is a significant problem in the United States that drains an estimated $100 billion from the national economy every year, and is blamed for the deaths of over 125,000 Americans annually (342 people every day). Ten percent of all hospital admissions are the result of pharmaceutical noncompliance, and 23% of all nursing home admissions are due to patients’ inability to take medication as prescribed.”
--Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council
The World Health Organization called noncompliance a "worldwide problem of striking magnitude." It is estimated that in developed nations, half of patients did not take medicines for chronic diseases in the prescribed manner.
Noncompliance with drug therapy has been identified as one of the largest challenges facing the medical and pharmaceutical communities, as they attempt to enhance the management of chronic conditions that consume the bulk of healthcare expenditures. The government, medical community, HMO and insurance communities are looking for a product that will 1) Greatly assist patients to overcome noncompliance while taking prescription drugs; and 2) Reduce expensive hospital stays and insurance claims, and promote improved patient health.
It is quite common for patients to forget to take their medication or to forget that they already took it and therefore take additional meds. Either way, the concentration of drug in the body is altered and therefore the medication’s effectiveness is diminished.
THE SOLUTION
An answer to pharmaceutical noncompliance is Jinsitec’s medication timing devices— disposable, electronic, alerting devices, available as a container (vial and cap unit) and as an attachable unit for unit-dose/blister/punch-out cards and for use with liquids, lotions, and other packaging. At factory programmed time intervals of typical medicine dispensing --- 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours --- the device beeps and flashes lights to alert users that it is time for a dose. The device automatically resets and is armed to activate again at the factory programmed time interval.
We want to provide products that will improve the quality of life for individuals, thereby impacting communities nationally and internationally. Our medication timing device products are easy to use, and address global compliance problems; moreover, they are so user-friendly that they help solve medication adherence problems related to literacy issues and language barriers.
