Abstract
The high prevalence of co-morbidities in older people gives rise to an increasing number of prescribed medicine increasing the complexity of medicine management. Multi-compartment compliance aids and dispensing systems have the potential to organize the daily life of an older person. Various features of currently available compliance aids (such as multi-compartment design or an automated reminder function) have proved successful in assisting older patients to take their medication. This in turn enables them to manage their own often-complex drug regimens. Further investigations and collaborations between healthcare professionals, patients and carers are required for validated and effective use of compliance aids.
