Reports can be made to help find people who are abusing drugs and stop them. At the end of each shift, nurses don't have to count drugs by hand in the patient care areas, which saves them time. Automatic drug delivery equipment can also find and actively watch drug use trends, which is another way it helps people get better. To do this, clinical signs are made that show when the medicine is being taken away. This was shown by the use of aprotinin, a medicine that was injected and helped cut down on bleeding and the need for blood donors during tough surgeries. It was thought that this medicine, which is pricey and can only be used in certain cases, would be a good way to test how well clinical signs work.
Automatic dose equipment saves doctors time because it keeps track of supplies based on pre-set minimum and maximum amounts. Lab techs are the only ones who can do this. This means that pharmacists have more time to help people and make sure they are safe. Now that technology has come a long way, it is clear that controlled dose devices are the best way to get drugs to people who need them. While putting in computerized serving devices can help keep people safer, they should only be used to their best potential and with care.

Because of new technology and progress, the market for automatic pill dispensers is likely to grow over the next few years.
