The medication system in nursing homes also went offline on Wednesday, but caregivers could work with 'backup systems'.
On Wednesday, the medication system in nursing homes went offline due to a PHP software vulnerability, but care providers managed with backup systems. The Medimo digital medication system, widely used in elder care, was taken offline as a precaution. Fortunately, residents did not experience negative effects, as backup lists were available for caregivers. These lists, although less convenient than the Medimo app, remained current since the system had just gone offline. The situation could become critical if the system remained down for an extended period, as adjustments to medication would not be recorded properly. However, Medimo was restored online later that day.
