TabTimer™ – helps keep medications on time™

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 25 August 2009 - TabTimer™ today launched its website and range of medication reminders used to help people remember to take their medications on time.

Longer life expectancy and decreasing birth rates is resulting in an ageing population for Australia. Around 9 per cent of our population (some 2 million people) is aged 70 years or older¹. This is expected to rise to 13 per cent by 2021 and to 20 per cent (around 5.7 million people) in 2051.

Subsequently health issues are increasing and medication routines are becoming more complex. In Australia today approximately 80,000 people live withParkinson’s, 500,000 Australians live with dementia, over 1.7 million people have diabetes, 3.7 million Australians have Cardiovascular disease and 134,000 Australians experience epilepsy.

Some medications for these illnesses require administration half hourly, hourly, or every two hours and so on. Subsequently, complicated medication schedules often make it difficult for patients, their relatives, or carers to remember to administer medications on time.

TabTimer™ is an exciting new Australian company dedicated to aiding Australians and their medication routines. TabTimer’s handy range of quality, innovative and affordablemedication reminder devices can be set to alarm when medications are due – serving as a handy reminder to help keep medications on time.

TabTimer™ stocks a range of medication reminder devices to help people remember to take their medications on time. TabTimer’s range includes pill box timers with multiple alarms, lockable pill dispensers, handy pocket reminders, fridge magnet reminders and VibraLITE vibration alarm watches. Some of TabTimer’s devices can be set to flash or vibrate only - making the process of remembering to take medications discrete and timely.
