Abstract

We found that the use of dispenser devices by home-dwelling older adults can improve clinical health outcomes and may reduce health service utilization and costs. More high-quality research is needed to get a better insight into their effects on service utilization and costs. Future studies should also examine the effects on care professionals’ experiences and equity.
