When the CADEX® Medication Reminder Wrist Watch was released in year 2000, it was a culmination of an idea that began twelve years earlier for inventor Diane K. Barker living in Ketchum (Sun Valley) area in Idaho.
After watching her mother deal with repeated heart problems because she forgot to take her medications, Diane came up with the idea for the CADEX medication reminder watch.
When the CADEX® Medication Reminder Wrist Watch was released in year 2000, it was a culmination of an idea that began twelve years earlier for inventor Diane K. Barker living in Ketchum (Sun Valley) area in Idaho.
After watching her mother deal with repeated heart problems because she forgot to take her medications, Diane came up with the idea for the CADEX medication reminder alarm watch and medical alert.
The CADEX story told by the inventor Diane K. Barker:
My mother was repeatedly sick and often anxious because she could not keep up with the timing of her medications," says Barker. "At that time there were no reminder systems available to patients like my mother.
Ten years later, Barker introduced the CADEX 12 ALARM Medication Reminder and Medical ALERT Watch.
"My goal is to sell an affordable, attractive reminder alarm watch to help people like my mother deal with their daily medication schedules."
Not taking medications as prescribed is dangerous, costly and affects virtually every family in the U.S. Approximately 125,000 people die every year due to not taking medications as prescribed by their doctors, over ten times those who die from illegal drug abuse. And the most common reason for medication non-compliance (poor medication compliance / poor patient adherence) is patients simply forget to take medications.
In the years since the product was launched, clinics, pharmacies, drug stores, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, catalogues and individuals have ordered the watch. A patent (Medical Information Appliance US 6,560,165) was granted in 2003. With well over 30,000 satisfied users (patients), most say it is the best pill timer (medication reminder) device on the market today.
