Do you know Doctors are now using texting methods to help teen remember to take there medicine. Cincinnati doctors are experimenting with texting to tackle a big problem: Teens too often do a lousy job of controlling chronic illnesses like asthma, diabetes or kidney disease etc. We know this has been a big problem for adults who suffers from chronic illnesses but now our teens have develop the lack of being consistent in taking there medicine. Just think... they can hardly keep there focus on school and life in general let alone medication. It's very hard for an adult to try and remember to take there medication. Kids these days have an attention span like the blink of the eye. Not listening.... sometimes looking you right in the eye while you are talking to them... and still don't know what you where saying.... or walking away in the middle of a conversation or just plain in there own world. I have seen where children have forgotten to take there medication for long periods of time. Forgetting and not remembering rather they took it or not...causing more harm to the chronic diagnosis then they may know. I know back when I was nursing we use to set up pill boxes for each day and sometimes that didn't work. I think that via texting is a good method to help our children to remember but I also say so is the Potty Watch...this device can been worn on the wrist and can be set at any time interval allowing the individual to remember that it's medication time. Some children and adults don't have cell phones and what if he/she leaves home without there phone. These wonderful timepieces carry a medication jingle to assist them. The Night Helper Potty Watch/ Medication Reminder will also be able to help children and adult in many medical task also helping to eliminate incontinence.
Well until next time : God Bless...And Take Your Medication On Time With Or With Out The Medication Helper!
