My Medical Mirror
$149.00
My Medical Mirror is a briefcase sized companion case for older adults. It helps to organize medical information, photos, and personal items into one easy to transport case. It includes medical information to assist emergency medical personnel and hospital clinicians during the older adult’s transition in care. It contains memory triggers (e.g., favorite pictures, personal history information, and a voice recording of a message or music) to assist with the resolution of delirium or confusion. My Medical Mirror also provides a location to hold personal items (e.g., eyeglasses, hearing aids) and the front of case identifies the presence of these items for facility staff. The easy-to-read instructions helps the older adult or their caregivers (e.g., family members) collocate the medical and personal information into My Medical Mirror before it is needed so it is ready when an expected or unexpected transition in care occurs.

A major goal of My Medical Mirror is to help with Delirium, with a simple calming approach to reduce medication usage. Delirium is a short-term condition that can result in confusion and agitation. It is associated with an underlying medical condition and is therefore reversible. It is commonly known as “sundowners” and is often unrecognized. The cause can be as simple as a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Patients with delirium may be combative or lethargic with an inability to follow directions, especially during transitions in care. This may result in over-sedation or the use of restraints to protect the patient and caregivers. Delirium can be experienced by anyone and is reversible. Up to 89% of older adults living with dementia experience delirium when hospitalized.
