The Dose-Alert medication reminder device can mean the difference between improved health and continuous need for high-cost medical intervention. Research shows that every year non-adherence causes 125,000 deaths in the United States and leads to 10 to 23 percent of hospital and nursing home admissions. An estimated 22% of employer healthcare costs are due to non-adherence.
