THE CHALLENGE

Healthcare's greatest individual problem: medication non-adherence

One of the greatest challenges in medical care is that patients do not take their medication according to their doctor’s instructions. According to the World Health Organisation, up to half of all medication doses are taken incorrectly.

This leads to avoidable health complications, unnecessary hospital visits, and rising costs for care providers and public healthcare systems. Solving this problem requires more than reminders — it demands a reliable, regulated, and easy-to-use system that fits into patients’ everyday lives.

At the same time, Evondos’ solution needed to meet strict regulatory requirements. As a medical device, the service is governed by far tighter laws than typical digital systems, requiring robust documentation, traceability, validation, and adherence to healthcare standards.

THE SOLUTION

Automated medication dispensing with intelligent reminders

Evondos and Pinja worked together to design the Evondos automated medication dosage service — combining digital operations, platform development, and strict regulatory compliance.

The service is based on automated dose dispensing used in pharmacies. Medication is packed into pre-dosed pouches and delivered to patients through an intelligent medicine dispenser. The device guides users verbally, visually, or with audio signals, and can escalate reminders via phone calls if medication is not taken as scheduled.

Behind the scenes, the platform ensures full traceability, documentation, and compliance with medical device regulations. This systematic approach enables safe operation at scale while supporting continuous development and validation.

Although advanced robotics and automation are part of the solution, the system is designed around people — patients, families, and care professionals — making daily medication routines simpler and more reliable.

THE IMPACT

From 50% to 99.5% medication dosing accuracy

The results have been remarkable. Evondos has achieved a correct dosage level of 99.5 percent — a dramatic improvement from the industry standard of approximately 50 percent.

So far, more than 30 million doses have been administered by the system, demonstrating both reliability and scale.
