For blind people and dazzling elderly people, it would be very dangerous to take drugs without the help of others. These patients often use the wrong drug because they do not see the contents of the drug label. A study in the United States will make patients who are unable to read drug labels due to visual impairments to use the ear to hear the contents of drug labels on each vial.

En-Vision American of Illinois, USA developed a new type of medicine bottle with a special microchip on its label. For patients who cannot read the label because of vision problems, only one battery is needed to power the patient. The reader is aligned with the vial, and the small sound synthesizer in the reader can read out the contents of the drug label aloud, which can effectively prevent these patients from using the wrong drug. Each such tag costs about $1, while the reader costs about $250.

At present, a hospital in Chicago is using this new method to conduct preliminary tests on some visually impaired veterans, and several other medical units have conducted another study to see if this new method can help visual impairment. Patients reduce medication errors.
