Taking pills is not fun. You’re taking it for an ailment and it becomes part of your daily routine. What is less fun is when you don’t remember to take your pills. In the worst case scenario, such forgetting could lead to a call to 911 or worse.
There are new apps now that will remind you to take your pills. Here are the best ones and what they do:
- MediSafe Project – Confirm that you’ve taken your pills or a relative or caregiver will be notified.
- Vitality – GlowCap physically goes on top of the prescription bottle. It lights up and beeps if you’re due for a dose.
Medical offices may also work to notify patients of prescription refills along with appointments. eClinicalWorks, a software vendor we work with closely, is the top one to do this along with acting as a scheduling and contact database program. Our outsourced technology consultants are experts at setting up, upgrading, and fixing eClinicalWorks computer issues. Whether at the patient or provider level, you should be ready to prepare for prescription dosages.
