Minfos integrates with the Our Pills Talk service, which provides a smartphone phone app that can read prescription information aloud. The Our Pills Talk app is designed to assist visually impaired customers, ensuring they are taking their medications correctly. The prescription information can also be translated into most languages, which is a safety benefit for culturally and linguistically diverse customers and their family members.
Once integrated, you can generate and print a personalised QR code with the dispense label, and (if required) with the repeat authorisation form. The QR code prints on a separate label to ensure its dimensions match the app's requirements. The patient can then use the app on their own smartphone to scan the code, and listen to the prescription information and instructions.
Please note that the QR code must be scanned in the Our Pills Talk app, not directly in the camera app of a smartphone.
