After noticing the problem of consumer noncompliance, Martin Cooper began a project based on a simple idea; create a talking system of remembering your daily medications using the date of the month – The Med Center system.

• This system emphasizes the “Date” rather than the “Day of the Week.”
• The “Date” is located on each Pill Box and Pill Cavity, the visual display of the Clock as well as audibly during the alert messages.
• This repetition of the “Date” helps ensure proper medication compliance, even when the user is unsure whether it is Monday or Tuesday.

Here’s how the system works:

• Load the entire month’s meds into the (31) Daily Pill Boxes and place them into the Organizer with their Green ends up, showing they are full.

• Set up to 4 Daily Alarms to alert you when your medication is due.

• At the beginning of the day, take the correct Pill Box out of the stand and place it into the “Today’s Pills” tray on the front of the Organizer Stand.

• A repeating friendly reminder notifies you of the time, the date and which daily dose to take. “Good morning! Please take your morning pills for the 20th.”

• Press the red “Alarm Acknowledged” button to confirm compliance and The MedCenter Talking Alarm Clock tells you when the next daily dose is due.

• At the end of the day, return the Pill Box to the stand with the Red end up to show the day’s pills have been taken.

• Press the green “Talk / Time” button at any time for an audible notification of the current time and date.

• Press the blue “Alarm Check” button at any time for an audible notification of the upcoming alarms.

• The clock also features an easy to operate, talking, Set procedure for all four alarms, the time and date.

• Large easy to read LCD with backlight makes the clock easy to read, even in the dark.

Doctors and Pharmacists agree that taking medications on a set schedule is crucial for managing your health. With The Med Center System, taking your medications on schedule, becomes a part of your daily routine.

“Growing up, my father would forget to take his necessary medication – which would result in him fainting and passing out,” says Martin Cooper, the inventor of The MedCenter System. “Coming up with a way to organize my parents’ medications and encourage their adherence was the true motivation behind creating the system,” he says.

The MedCenter System retails for $69.95 with the talking LCD clock and $34.95 without it. Other products include: the Monthly Mini Monthly Organizer ($24.95), Traveler Weekly Organizer ($19.95), Daily Pill Organizer ($18.95), Daily Pill Organizer with Alarm ($28.95), and 5-Alarm Sport Watch ($24.95).
