medi launches reminder service for compression stockings and insoles

medi GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Bayreuth, Germany, has launched a new reminder service for patients who have been prescribed medical aids such as compression stockings or orthotic insoles.

The service aims to prompt patients approximately five months after their last pickup date. This timing is based on the typical six-month therapeutic lifespan of such medical devices, after which they may require re-prescription.

Patients will receive reminders via email, SMS, or phone call. This proactive approach ensures continuity of care and allows individuals to obtain new prescription items in a timely manner, maintaining the therapeutic benefits of their treatment.

To enroll, patients need to provide their preferred contact method, last pickup date, and relevant medical indications. The company notes that the therapeutic effect of compression garments diminishes after around six months of use, making timely re-prescription important for ongoing treatment.

medi specializes in medical compression products and orthotic solutions, supporting healthcare professionals and patients in managing various conditions. The reminder service is part of their commitment to patient support throughout their therapy.
