PHARMRIGHT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ANOTHER PRE-SALE OF LIVITM DEVICES
Schuyler Hospital Reserves Automated Home Medication Dispensers
April 10, 2015; Charleston, SC: PharmRight Corporation, a healthcare technology company based in Charleston, SC,
TM
announced today that Schuyler Hospital of Montour Falls, NY, has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase Livi devices.
TM
Livi is a fully-automated, cloud-connected home medication dispensing system designed and developed by
PharmRight.
Bill Park, President and CEO of PharmRight, said “This agreement with Schuyler Hospital represents Livi’s initial entry
TM
to the hospital world. Among other uses, Schuyler sees Livi as a tool for patients who are managing their own oral
TM
solid medications while in the facility. This represents a new market segment for Livi which we hadn’t anticipated
until now.”
Bill Barnett, Director of Pharmacy/Pharmacy Clinical Services at Schuyler Hospital said, “As a hospital pharmacy
director, you are always looking for the next great bit of technology that will deliver safe and accurate care with the
TM
ultimate goal of improving a patient’s outcome. I believe Livi can do that for us in a safer and more secure way
than other medication on demand (MOD) devices. With her unique ability to talk with my hospital's electronic medical
record and nursing staff, I am able to get meds to our patients quicker while ensuring all safety checks remain in
TM
place. Livi is truly revolutionary in its adaptable approach to a patient’s ability to self-administer medication.”
About PharmRight
PharmRight Corporation was formed in 2013 to produce devices and offer services that maximize medication
TM
adherence and allow patients to age in place. The company has developed Livi , an innovative, fully-automated
TM
home medication dispenser. A new entrant to what is being called “The Internet of Things,” Livi is designed to
simulate the supervision of an on-site caregiver by prompting the user to take the right medication…at the right
time…in the right quantity…with the right instructions under the Internet-enabled remote oversight of a caregiver or a
team of caregivers. A cloud application monitors and captures all user interactions with the device. Family members
and professional caregivers can be alerted via text message or e-mail if a user misses a dose or requires a re-fill.
Comprehensive medication adherence reports are available via computer and mobile devices.
