Why Karie?

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

Karie can mitigate the cost of medication non-adherence, which is $290 billion in the US annually. Karie removes the chance of non-adherence through human error via its ability to organize, deliver and monitor medication regimens leading to better health outcomes and increasing one’s control over their care.
