Xavier University’s Center for Innovation has partnered with US-based personal medical device company Medacheck.
The partnership will allow Medacheck to show its device to alumni from the university that are now working in the healthcare industry.
Medacheck has created a smartphone and tablet app that reminds those in need of regular medication to take it at the correct dosage at the correct time. It provides the user with an image of their medication along with a description to ensure the correct medication is being taken.
It can also inform selected contacts if the user does not confirm the medication has been taken.
Jeffrey Shepard, founder and chief executive of MedaCheck, speaking to the Cincinnati Business Courier, said: “Xavier’s grads tend to be in a lot of these large medical companies and they play significant roles in making things happen.”
Further details of the partnership were not disclosed.
