Enables People to Age in Place

23% of patients in long term care are institutionalized because they cannot take their medication properly. AARP reports that 90% of seniors wish to age in their own homes. Karie allows aging individuals to age in place by automating medication regimens.

Relieves Caregivers

Karie reduces the burden on caregivers by eliminating the stress of medication non-adherence. In addition to Karie’s scheduling and delivery features, the device uses smartphone technology to alert family when a patient has missed a dosage.

Reduces Healthcare Costs

University of Toronto Study

This pilot was a randomized, cross-over study in which the participants underwent three weeks of medication treatment with the assistance of Karie and three weeks of medication treatment without using Karie.
University of Toronto students were recruited as participants and took Omega-3 dietary supplements. Medication adherence was measured by a device delivery log, pill count and as 7 day recall. The 12 participants also completed an exit survey and interview. Only 20% of participants were considered to have been adherent during the control phase, in comparison to 80% were considered to have been adherent using Karie. The study demonstrated that Karie, the medication delivery device, increases medication adherence by 300%.
