Evondos launches Evondos Anna, the first medicine dispensing robot with VideoMed video-assisted medicine dispensing to selected markets
Evondos Group, a leading provider of automated medicine dispensing service in the Nordics, announced a new service offering featuring a new Evondos Anna medicine dispensing robot. Anna together with Evondos Telecare system enables the home care organizations to enhance remote care visits with a video connection. Most importantly, video-assisted medicine dispensing, Evondos VideoMed, will help caregivers to confirm the medicine adherence, and make Evondos service a feasible solution also to clients who require more support. This enables more tailored care packages and freeing up time from routine visits. The visit schedules can be rearranged to allow more time with customers who will benefit from longer physical visits while not compromising the need of other home care customers.
Eetu Koski, Evondos CEO, comments: “I am thrilled to see Evondos Anna being available. I believe Anna demonstrates what we mean by our company value Customer first as we can extend Evondos service to new client groups. Video-assisted dispensing gives more tools to the care organization and allows even more flexibility to both caregivers and home care clients. Now one device can support independent nurse assisted and video assisted medication dispensing.”
Customer organizations who have tested Evondos Anna are looking forward to meeting the needs of their clients even better. One of those is Siun sote joint municipality authority in North Karelia in Finland, who have used Evondos over five years and have more than 500 robots in their organization. “The medicine dispensing robot gives customers an added sense of security. They feel that they can still live an independent life. We’ve now tested Evondos Anna. Our first reactions have been very positive,” says Jaana Nykänen from Siun sote. She continues, “with some clients there needs to be a confirmation that the medicines are taken correctly and not too early without caregiver’s observation. With Evondos Anna and its video functionality a caregiver can do exactly that.”
Evondos’ unique service provides significant quality and cost benefits for professional home care organizations. The service enables people in need of medical treatment to get the right medicine at the right time and in the right dose automatically, which improves patient safety, medical adherence and supports independent life at home. Already more that 20 million sachets have been dispensed by the Evondos service and it can be estimated to have resulted in savings of well over 400 000 working days. The service is based on advanced technology and consists of an automatic medicine dispensing robot installed in private homes, with a cloud-based control system and service elements. Today the service is in use in nearly 300 home care organizations in the Nordics and are currently moving into new markets in Europe – where the UK is one of the prioritized markets.
