Results

The drug distribution support device (DDSD) was developed as a locker-type system that operates on AC 100 V. Care workers completed a questionnaire before and after using the DDSD for 3 months. They reported that the average time spent on medication set and medication distribution was reduced. Additionally, the incidence of forgetting to distribute medicine, mistaken person, and mistaken medication had reduced slightly.
