[CARPA] Medicine reminder watches

[Alex Hope]

G'day All,

I was at a meeting in Adelaide last week where a GP from S Africa mentioned using cheap electronic watches with built in larm times to remind patients to take their anti-retrovirals.

has anyone sourced them here, and for example got them stocked in their local community store?

If so, how much and who supplies them?
