Medication Schedules For The Technologically Impaired

While technology has provided us with a variety of ways to communicate

, accomplish daily tasks, and keep ourselves safe, there are still those who don't feel comfortable using computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices. This can cause for a rift in communication and can make it harder for the technologically impaired to accomplish their daily tasks.

If you know someone who is technologically impaired that is on a number of medications, you know they probably have some sort of strange and cumbersome ritual to make sure they take all the right medications everyday. They might have one of those medication organizers with the compartments for every day of the week. They might have a post-it note that tells them they have taken their medicine for the day. Some people even flip their prescription bottle upside down to tell them they have taken their medicine for the day.

There are easier ways for people to remember to take their medications. If you are handy with technology, and you know someone who could use a little bit of help, you could show them the ropes of an online medication schedule. If you're willing to guide them through all of the steps to making a medication schedule, they might be willing to listen. Also, it might be a good idea to try and get their doctor on board to encourage them that this is a great way to remember to take the right medicine.

A medication schedule isn't just about what medicines to take on what day. The more medicines you take the more complex your schedule becomes. You need to know how many pills to take at what time of day, and medication schedules will also tell you what each pill looks like and when you should get it refilled. Medication schedules make it easy for you whether you take generic brand medications or have a name brand prescription. Online medication schedules have many benefits that cannot compare to a pill organizer with compartments.

Even if you just print out a scheduled for your loved one, you can still help them to get the full benefits of using an online medication schedule without having to "give in" to technology. People who are technology impaired are usually that way by choice. They don't want to change their lifestyle to incorporate complex electronic devices. So, if you simply print out their weekly or monthly schedule for them, you'll be doing them a great favor.

While not everyone has the time and the skills to use an online medication schedule, their benefits really outweigh any setbacks. You can get medication reminders sent to your e-mail, cell phone, or sign on everyday to make sure all of your medications are in order and none of them need to be refilled. You can also talk to your doctor about creating and maintaining a medication schedule that works for you. Even if you're technologically impaired, maybe your doctor can print out a schedule for you.
