En läkemedels-robot för säkrare medicinering
Dosell is a patented medication dispenser for safer medication management at home.
By automatically dispensing tablets into medication pouches at the prescribed time, Dosell ensures that patients receive the right medication at the right moment. Dosell provides reminders for medication intake and can alert healthcare professionals in case of missed doses. This way, Dosell helps reduce the risk of overdosing, taking the wrong combination of medications, or forgetting to take medication altogether.

Here’s how it works:
- Dosell is loaded with the patient’s prescribed medications packaged in dose bags. Each loading contains medications for a two-week period.
- When it’s time for the patient to take their medications, Dosell automatically dispenses the correct dose bag at the scheduled time.
- The dose bag cuts opem and drops into an open compartment on the front of the device.
- Once the dose bag has dropped, a light in the compartment illuminates, and an audible signal reminds the patient to take their medication.
- If the patient doesn’t take their medications, Dosell alerts healthcare professionals and caregivers, who can quickly intervene to prevent any harm.
