Pharmacy is a highly accessible place compared to other institutions. Based on the advantage, Seoul metropolitan government carried out pharmaceutical care service ‘SAFE Pharmacy’ from 2013. The SAFE Pharmacy means detailed and easy-to-use pharmaceutical care program in community pharmacy. This program provides services, including medication history management, suicide prevention, quitting smoking education and so on. In the process, the higher needs of pharmacists for visual material came out. Currently, pharmacists use handouts about disease information, diet, exercises. Visual materials utilizing home testing and monitoring devices can contribute to improving medication compliance and stimulating lifestyle management. This study was based on text book and web-based references about home testing and monitoring devices for pharmacists. The purpose of this study intended to introduce home testing and monitoring devices for pharmacists that could be used in SAFE pharmacy.
