By Laura V from Longmeadow, MA on 02/05/2009 Best Uses: Dog toy wo batteries Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I really wanted this product to work. Unfortunately, after all the work to program it, it didn't "compare" the meds programmed. It merely tells you what meds should not be taken, etc. Example: do not take this if you are taking an MAO inhibitor...well I didn't program an MAO inhibitor...so long story short, the pharmacist is better and the advice is free.
By healer from Sioux Falls, SD on 01/21/2009 Cons: Difficult to Install, Hard to Use, No written instructions Best Uses: Program for someone else Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This product was pretty cool in theory. It holds a LOT of information that could really be useful. But there are no instuctions, and it really isn't user friendly. I LOVE that they're coming out with new stuff that can help, but I know how to program lots of electronics, and this was cumbersome at best. You certainly can get information out of it, but it's fairly large and it would be just as easy to keep a little notebook with the information to flip through that takes up less than 10% the size. I thought maybe I could program it for my elderly father who takes meds, because he could not program it himself due to memory problems. But even if I programmed it, it's not easy to navigate. I worked with it for 2 hours to put in basic information for myself and still didn't get every thing figured out. Maybe if I would have had written instructions my leaning curve would have improved. And if you make an error or need to delete something you've programmed, you'd better hope that you've either got a rocket scientist in the family or a LOT of time .... because it's not a simple process to change things (maybe that's good so you don't accidentally delete things you want). Over all, it's really a cool, cool idea that needs more research and development for practical use. I'm disappointed that it didn't work out, because I had planned to buy one for all of my elderly relatives.
