Yes. By unlocking CompuMed and de-activating the lock-out feature, an individual or caregiver can pre-dispense medication using the ADVANCE key. This feature is useful if an individual is going out for a short time and wants to take the medicine along. For example, a daughter may stop by at 11:30 a.m. and say, Mom, lets go to lunch. Rather than wait until noon (if that is when Mom takes medicine) for the medicine to be dispensed, they can push the ADVANCE key (EARLY DOSE) and take the medicine with them. The e-pill CompuMed keeps track of the medicine taken out and resumes dispensing at the next dose.
