Older adults often manage multiple medications and supplements each day, yet remembering what to take, when to take it, and whether a dose has already been taken can be cognitively demanding. This complexity frequently leads to missed doses, accidental double dosing, and other forms of unsafe use. Research shows that nearly one in four older adults struggle with medication adherence, placing their health and independence at risk.
