Medication Management/Patient Literacy: The Med Manager 2.0 XL & The Med Manager 3.0

The Med Manager 3.0 is an electronic transformation of the popular original Med Manager binder, and will be the same simple med manager but with the addition of sensors under each loop that automatically register when and what meds are removed from the binder. This information is automatically sync’d with the VivaLife app via Bluetooth. All patients and caregivers need to do is download the app and Med Manager 3.0 will do the rest. Medication logs will be seamlessly available to patients, caregivers and healthcare providers via our remote patient monitoring services taking away all the guesswork and excess paperwork at the next doctors visit. VivaLife Med Manager Diabetic is tailored to the needs of people with diabetes. With detachable insulated pouches and 15 loops for medication bottles, it is perfect for people on the go who still need their medications. Built out of a durable nylon with a hard back shell, the file manager will protect all your important medical documents.
