"We used Rex in an area of Venezuela in the Andes mountains Andes Mountains Mountain system, western South America. One of the great natural features of the globe, the Andes extend north-south about 5,500 mi (8,900 km). They run parallel to the Caribbean Sea coast in Venezuela before turning southwest and entering Colombia. where there is very little or no access to health care," said Burton. "There is a lot of illiteracy illiteracy, inability to meet a certain minimum criterion of reading and writing skill. Definition of Illiteracy The exact nature of the criterion varies, so that illiteracy must be defined in each case before the term can be used in a meaningful , especially with the older population." Before Rex was introduced to International Ministries, missionaries hand-wrote the instructions and directions for medication use in Spanish. Because the incidence of illiteracy is so high, they were never able to know whether or not the folks were actually taking their medications properly. "It is exciting to have such modern technology touch the lives of those who need help in such remote locations," said Aimee Ward, Director, Sales and Marketing for MedivoxRx. "What we thought might be a small side market for the Talking Pill Bottle is showing great promise recently as humanitarian groups and businesses realize the benefit of providing audio medication instructions in multiple languages to under supplied nations around the world." "Rex was a tremendous help to our mission," Burton continued. "It helped us to know that the people were going to receive the right dosage and the right drug at the right time. We were so pleased to have been able to use it." Because Rex-The Talking Pill Bottle is completely portable and requires no ancillary equipment to use, it is ideal for these types of missions. It can be used anywhere, even in the remote areas of the Andes Mountains. Not only is Rex ideal for those with illiteracy problems, but also for those with vision impairments and cognitive disabilities.
