It is Friday! TGIF!!!

Happy Friday! A long week is about to wind down. I  visited with several of you this week and always enjoy our visits. Several client visits are scheduled this weekend but I will find time to research your questions and concerns,

I am trying a new digital magnifier this evening. It is a Smartlux Digital magnifier by Eschenbach. The unit has a liquid crystal display (LCD), photo button, magnifying button and contrast button. You can use the device by holding it in your hand or in the writing position which has a small built in stand. The charging time is approximately 2 hours. This unit has 4 magnification levels 5x, 7x, 9x and 12x. The display modes include: true color, black on white, white on black, black on yellow and yellow on black. With so many selections and magnification sizes this should be an ideal portable magnifier for almost any use. The operating time is approximately 3 hours which is great for any type of digital magnifier.
This unit does not have a handle.

Reader's Digest is one of my favorite publications. This month had the following in their Health Gifts section.

An App to Prevent Medication Mistakes

MediSafe Project is a free app developed by brothers whose father accidentally double dosed on insulin, leading to a medical emergency. Researchers have found that only half of people take their medication as prescribed. This app will keep track of multiple medications and sends a reminder when a dose is due. If the medicine isn't taken, the app notifies a spouse or friend. The app is available in the iTunes Store and at Google Play.
Have a great day and even better tomorrow,
Dr. Janet
