Cardinal Health, Inc. CAH - MedivoxRx Technologies Brings Rex-The Talking Prescription Bottle to Las Vegas for Cardinal Health - Retail Business Conference
MedivoxRx Technologies Inc., a division of Wizzard Software Corp. (OTCBB:WIZD), has announced they are currently presenting Rex-The Talking Prescription Bottle at the 16th Annual Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference (RBC) 2006 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Located at booth 304, MedivoxRx Technologies is one of the more than 275 suppliers featured during the trade show. At last year's conference, Cardinal hosted more than 1,400 independent and community pharmacies, with 4,000 pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and other pharmacy industry professionals in attendance.
Throughout the week, MedivoxRx is showcasing the Rex Pharmacy System. Using the microphone recording units, prescription label information is recorded to the Rex bottle through microelectronic technology embedded in the base of each bottle. In addition to label information, other important or helpful information may be recorded into the bottle. To playback the recorded information, users simply press a button on the side of the bottle and listen to the message.
Cardinal Health customers can order Rex Bottles (Case of 24 Talking Bottles - CHI # 3675204) and Recorders (Recorder with Microphone - CHI # 3675246) during the show at the MedivoxRx booth.
Also available from MedivoxRx is the Rex Pharmacy Software. Full automation through text-to-speech technology allows pharmacists to automatically record the medication information to the Rex bottle in a natural-sounding computer generated voice using the pharmacy's current software and data. When the pharmacist releases the medication instructions to the standard label printer, the MedivoxRx software captures that text, converts it to speech and records it into the bottle.
"We are very excited to be exhibiting at Cardinal Health RBC," said Gene Franz, General Manager of Solutions and Channels for MedivoxRx. "It's a fantastic opportunity to put Rex in front of so many Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH) customers and inform them on the benefits of providing their patients with an easy-to-use, cost-effective device that can help manage prescriptions, safeguard health and save lives."
Rex-The Talking Prescription Bottle contributes a solution to the growing medication error problem in the United States. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports medication errors and/or adverse drug events kill an estimated 100,000 persons annually and represent the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. The first three are heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
Further, Rex is a useful tool for the numerous individuals who take multiple medications. According to an AARP survey, people ages 45 and over take 4 prescription medications per day. Also, a report issued by the National Center for Health Statistics released in 2004 estimates more than 20 percent of all patients age 75 and older were taking five or more prescription drugs. While the average number of prescription drugs a 75 year old takes each day is 5, in many instances older people are using 12 or more prescriptions.
