With the holidays fast approaching, many aged care and home care participants are looking forward to spending time with their loved ones. This often means outings, family gatherings, or even overnight trips away. However, the changes in routine can make medication management a little more challenging. Missed doses or incorrect medication timings are common risks when regular support systems are disrupted.
That’s where Sasha, our innovative medication management device, steps in! Designed to enhance safety and compliance, Sasha is not only an invaluable daily tool but also a reliable solution for managing medications during the holidays.
What is Sasha? A Quick Introduction
Sasha is a medication management device that securely stores pharmacist-prepared sachets containing multiple doses of medication. It offers timely reminders through audio, visual, and text alerts, helping ensure doses are never missed. With fingerprint authentication for security and integration with a connected app for real-time reporting, Sasha is an essential tool for both home care and aged care providers looking to improve medication compliance.
Pre-Administering Sachets: Your Holiday Medication Solution
While Sasha is compact and sleek, it’s not designed for portability. But no worries — clients can easily take their medication sachets with them wherever they go!
Sasha’s pre-administer feature allows participants or staff to retrieve doses in advance in just a few simple steps:
Step 1: Scan your fingerprint before the scheduled dose window.
Step 2: When prompted, press the Action Button to pre-administer a dose.
Step 3: Grip the front of the ejected sachet and tear DOWN & AWAY from the white edge.
Step 4: To pre-administer multiple doses:
Tear off the first sachet.
Press the Action Button again for the next sachet and tear off.
Repeat until you have the required amount.
Scan your fingerprint to complete.
Step 5: Store the sachet safely until the time of the dose window.
Step 5: When it’s time for a dose, the client or their loved ones can receive a text message letting them know it’s time to take their medication.
Step 6: If multiple doses were pre-administered, remind them to always check the time and date on the sachet to ensure they take the right dose at the right time.
Why You’ll Love Sasha’s Pre-Administer Feature
Sasha’s pre-administer functionality offers numerous benefits for both care providers and participants:
