Blister Packing Machine for Packing Patient Blister Cards
When faced with current developments, such as the shortage of healthcare workers and worldwide demographic change, carers and pharmacists now have a powerful ally: automated blister packing machines for creating patient-specific blister cards. They’re an efficient way of ensuring safe medication management for each and every patient while creating additional benefits for them along the way.
Fully automatic blister packing machines mean more efficiency and a higher quality of life
The shortage of healthcare workers is affecting the entire world. This, in combination with demographic changes in the world’s population, is placing unprecedented demands on the healthcare sector. However, patient-specific blister packing has risen to the challenge of ensuring that patient medication management remains safe and reliable. Prescription medicines are packed individually by day of the week and time of administration.
Pre-filled medication packs positively influence the effectiveness of prescribed treatment, thereby improving quality of life. The easy-to-take medicine in blister packs, along with reminders, increase medication adherence by up to 50 percent within a year. These changes also make a big difference for the environment.
