CASE MANAGERS
"One of our clients is bi-polar, insulin-dependent, 57 year-old female with a history of confusion and short-term memory loss. Prior to installation of MD.2, she was having significant difficulties both with daily living activities and with numerous health complications due to her medical conditions. She was seeing multiple physicians plus receiving 30 hours of services per month from our agency.
Due to MD.2, I have observed a dramatic positive change in this woman. She now works two days a week and can utilize mass transit for trips to the store. Her health issues have also improved. Her blood sugar is now in normal range where before she continually ran over 200. We have only gone to the doctor once per month.
We are reducing our
agency hours to 25 hours per month equating to a savings of $145 per month
to the state. We possibly may reduce our hours further as needed."

"MD.2 has been
a tremendous asset to our clients. We've been able to help a number of
customers who would be in nursing homes or other institutional living
if not for MD.2. The state programs have also benefited. A traumatic brain
injury patient's monthly case management costs were reduced $930 PER MONTH
by using MD.2."

AREA ASSOCIATION ON AGING
"One of our residents came very close to death this October because of mismanagement of her medications. Although she had been managing properly the medications she had been taking long term, her physician prescribed a new medication for her. Due to mismanagement, she ended up in the ER due to an overdose of the new medication.
After these incidents,
we worked with the family to immediately install an MD.2. The resident
is doing very well with this machine and we have had no further medical
emergencies with her."

HOME HEALTH
"One of our
clients is an early onset Alzheimer's patient living at home by himself.
He was using a pill planner but taking Tuesday's medication on Friday.
The family does not live in the area and was considering daily care or
some type of senior living facility. With MD.2, our client has regularly
taken his medication and is doing much better physically. He can live
independently, at home, where he wants to live. The family loves the ability
to look on the Internet and track their father's dispensing and is very
pleased with MD.2's capabilities."
