3-4% of UK hospital admissions are thought to be as a direct result of avoidable medicine related illness, including failing to take the correct medication at the correct time. People with dementia or learning disabilities are at particular risk of this. Pill Dispensers have been shown in a West Midlands Automated Pill Dispenser trial (July 2009 – March 2011) to have produced a measurable decrease in GP visits, hospital admissions, care packages, ambulance call outs and respite care.
