LONDON, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a
global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today
announced that RGF Diagnostics is using Telit modules, SIMs,
data plans and IoT Portal services for Mymemo, the world's first
automatic, modular pill dispenser. By ensuring that they follow
their prescriptions, Mymemo helps keep seniors and chronic
patients in their homes, while addressing the growing global
shortage of caregivers. For more information, visit

Most seniors are on multiple medications. By some
estimates, up to 50 percent don't follow their prescriptions for
reasons such as forgetfulness. That takes a major toll on them,
their loved ones and society. For example, inability to self-manage
prescriptions is responsible for up to 23 percent of nursing
home admissions.
RGF Diagnostics' Mymemo suite of products includes an
automated pill dispenser, which uses light and sound to alert
seniors when it's time to take their medication. Each Mymemo
supports up to four different medications, and the modular design
allows three devices to be connected together to support up to 12
different types of pills or capsules.
MymemoCenter is a cloud-based platform that uses cellular and
Wi-Fi to connect to each dispenser. Sensors inside alert caregivers
when medications have not been taken and when they are running low
to ensure that patients never miss a dose. MymemoCenter also
connects to a 24/7/365 staff of medical professionals to provide
patients and caregivers with health and technical support.
The Mymemo dispenser uses the Telit xL865 module family and can
also be equipped with a Telit Wi-Fi module when cellular is
unavailable. This flexibility helps Mymemo serve the widest
possible market and ensure reliable connectivity, such as deep
inside buildings where cellular signals are unavailable.
RGF also uses Telit simWISE, Telit's integrated, software-based
SIMs. These eliminate the expense of sending a technician out to
install or replace a SIM card in each Mymemo dispenser so it can
connect to the right mobile operator.
Telit's OPTIMUS service analyzes the data usage to identify
the most cost-effective rate plan—and then automatically applies it
retroactively for maximum savings. RGF also uses Telit's IoT
Portal, a cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that streamlines
and centralizes a wide variety of management tasks for Mymemo
devices, applications, connectivity, security and more.
"Taking the right medication at the right time is critical for
helping seniors live happy, healthy lives," said Roee Dvir, RGF Diagnostics, CEO. "With Telit as
our partner, we're empowering patients and caregivers throughout
Europe and the U.S."
"Mymemo is a prime example of how innovative companies are
leveraging IoT to transform everyday life," said Giorgio Pizzagalli, RGF Diagnostics, COO.
"Mymemo also highlights how Telit provides those innovators with
a comprehensive suite of hardware, software and services that
minimizes the cost of developing and delivering products," said
Martin Krona, Senior Vice President EMEA Sales, Telit.
