How It Works: Enhanced Medication Reminders and Secure Dosing
Every MedReady model features a built-in low-frequency alarm to signal medication time with a buzzing sound. For models with a flashing light such as this one, a visual alert is also provided. Opening the dispenser’s door stops the alarm sounds and visual cues.
To ensure safety, only the latest dose is accessible, and the tray rotates to the next scheduled dose with the following alarm. If a dose is missed, the dispenser locks that compartment and advances to the next dose, preventing access to previous doses.
Key Features of MedReady
Security
MedReady offers top-tier security with a tamper-resistant design. Instead of relying on a latch, it uses a robust lock and key system to ensure the safe storage of medications. This key-only access allows caregivers to load the unit and track patient adherence, providing peace of mind that medication is securely stored and managed.
Medication Information Storage
MedReady includes a practical card holder located at the bottom of the unit, allowing you to store a printed copy of all prescriptions for medications housed in the dispenser. This feature provides quick and easy access to important medication details when needed, enhancing organization and accuracy.
User-Friendly Alarms
Setting the timers and alarms on MedReady is as easy as using a digital alarm clock. The straightforward setup process ensures that patients and caregivers alike can quickly program medication reminders without hassle, allowing for seamless daily use.
Reliable on Good and Bad Days
Whether you’re at home or traveling, MedReady is designed to work reliably. The unit includes a rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride battery pack that ensures continued operation during power outages or while on the go, providing up to 48 hours of backup power. It also functions using a standard 120V AC household outlet, so you can depend on it in any setting.
Safety Features
MedReady prioritizes safety by automatically switching from AC power to rechargeable battery backup in the event of a power outage or when traveling. This automatic transition ensures that the device continues to function, preventing any disruption in medication management.
Clear and Visible Clock
The MedReady dispenser features a large, easy-to-read LED display, which is self-illuminating for clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The clock is designed to be viewed from any angle, ensuring patients and caregivers can always check the time and dosing schedule at a glance.

I bought one these and used it consistently for the last seven years of my parents lives. I loved this thing and would have considered marriage if it had only proposed… it stopped them both from messing around with the medications and was always on time. Thank you and now I want to buy another for my husband who has had a stroke.

What a great device. I bought this after moving my wife to assisted living. It works great and takes the worries out of her taking pills on time. Wish I would have bought it earlier

Purchased for 89 year old mother who was constantly mismanaging her meds.
Due to extra care point system where she resides. It would have bumped her up to next level of care. Just adding inhouse medication distribution would have cost her an additional $720 per month. Absurd,I know. Have been using machine for a few weeks now and it has worked flawlessly. Not a single missed dose. Not sure in our case that visual alarm would be enough, therefore,
my only suggestion for modification would be alarm level adjustment. It’s quite loud.
Thank you very much for great product.

Thank you for the review, this is what keeps us going. The alarm is a mechanical buzzer so it’s all or nothing at the moment. Future mods have a speaker in mind that would be able to modify the decibel level and select different alerts. No time frame yet for that release.

Using the MedReady 1700FL makes everyone’s life a lot easier from the daily medication dilemma of an Alzheimer’s patient of wondering “is it time yet to take my pills” and also “did I take my pills”? Myself as the caregiver, I now simply load the MedReady just ONCE a week with the correct pills in the corresponding tray slots, then both the patient and myself know when the dispenser’s alarm sounds it is the correct time to take the correct medication. Simple for the caregiver to set-up right out of the box and very simple for the patient to use (they just slide open the door when the buzzer sounds and scoop out their pills). Loading the pills into the correct slots with the included pill dispensing guide makes it easy for the caregiver. I plan to order an 2nd dispensing tray with plastic lid, so that I can preload the pills for the next week in advance and during my own leisure, thus I will have the 2nd tray ready-to-go; just simply remove the empty tray and drop in next week’s ready-to-go tray. No more watching the clock and wondering by my Alzheimer’s patient. They admit life now is so much easier for them when using the dispenser, and I must admit life is so much easier for me as a caregiver too. Recommend it to any caregiver.

I have been using the MedReady unit for several years now and could not be happier. I tried several “manual” dispensers that turned out to be a waste of time and money. My Mom, who is now 90 years old, would fuss with the old units to the extent that I was worried that she was either not taking her meds at all or even worse overdosing. This unit calls my cell phone if she fails to take her pills. That still blows her mind when I call her and tell her that the machine called me to tell me that she didn’t take her pills yet.
Editors note: This is actually a review for the 1750FL.

This pill dispenser has been a wonderful help with my wife’s mother who is living alone and cannot remember to take her pills. We are saving a fortune compared to the price of assisted living or frequent car trips to check pills. Even more important a huge source of worry and stress is gone. Highly recommended!

When I started my search for an automatic pill dispenser for my Grandmother that has Alzhemier’s, I came across some shocking information. One missed dose of medications cuts the effectiveness of the medications by 45%. That is very unsettling. At that point, I was on a mission to find a product that could help us with this problem. Then I came across the MedReady 1700, it was the answer to our prayers. We bought this for my Grandmother 3 years ago. The only time she misses a dose now is when she isn’t in her apartment when the alarm finishes going off after the 30 minutes. And never do we have to worry that she is taking more than her 2 doses a day. And that was starting to be a problem. I have recommended this to many of my friends with parents/grandpa-rents with similar problems. Thanks a million.

This product gave me piece of mind knowing my mother is getting her meds properly. No more taking double doses. I highly recommend this product.

I bought it for my mother-in-law who has Alzheimer’s. We still have to call her and remind her to go open the dispenser but now she can’t take more than she is suppose to. I truly like the convenience of only filling every 14 days (she takes meds 2x/day). It is wonderful.
