Using Laughter Therapy as a Medication Reminder

by Neeta · July 6, 2016

Humans have been bestowed upon a unique gift called laughter. Among all animals, only man can smile and laugh. As we smile and laugh since we are borne, we have no idea what an exclusive gift we have got. Smile, laughter and joy thereof can not only give us a momentary happiness, but they can take us out from any serious illness. No wonder, laughter is called the best medicine. That’s the very principle of laughter therapy. Recently, developers of CeyHello app have used this principle for a dual purpose – bringing a smile to someone’s face and medication management, through their moticons.

How does CeyHello Help Bring Joy to a Patient’s Life?

CeyHello cell phone app is meant mainly for patients who tend to forget taking their medications. So, they are mostly elderly patients. This in turn means usually that they live alone or with their spouse who too is in more or less the same condition. In that case, what if a professional caregiver sends a funny video clip or moticon to such a patient along with a message reminding them of taking medication? Such a message will no longer remain a bland medication adherence message, but will become a fun moment for the patient and s/he will actually wait eagerly for the next message!

Another thing CeyHello does for these elderly patients is that it connects them to their loved ones through Care Circle. So, they can stay connected and won’t feel lonely and bored.

So, CeyHello can become the best pill reminder/organizer app with a touch of laughter therapy.

Moticons is the very base of CeyHello’s medication management. They have around 45 moticons which they offer for free! You too can create your own moticon, upload and send to your loved one, and bring a smile on her/his face. It can be anything like a grandchild’s first step or speech, a favorite actor or any other celebrity or any such fun moment.
