Maggie, a blogger and Medisafe user, describes how Medisafe app\u00a0makes managing her and her husband’s health as easy as possible:<\/strong>
\n\u00abI\u2019ve sometimes joked that age isn\u2019t measured in years, but rather in the number of pills you have to take every day just to keep you going. Thankfully I\u2019m in reasonably good health but I still have three medications I take every day. I\u2019m quite good at taking them on time, but I often lose track of when I\u2019m running out and need to renew my prescription. My husband has 5 daily tablets to drop, plus others on an as needed basis, and as one of the side effects of his illness is forgetfulness, we have to be super organized to make sure he takes the right dosage each day, doesn\u2019t accidentally double up, and orders his new drugs in plenty of time. Thus, we were pointed in the direction of Medisafe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medisafe is a free smartphone app to help you organize your medications and prescriptions.\u00a0Medisafe boasts that their users have 86% compliance with their medicine regime\u00a0compared to the national (for USA) average of 50%.\u00a0It has a virtual pill box (divided in to 4 timeframes for each day) in to which you load the medicines you need to take. There\u2019s an auto-suggest feature in there with a huge list of medicines in it, or you can free type the name of yours. You can customize the dosage and appearance so that your virtual pill box looks just like your real one.<\/p>\n

So why, you may be wondering, is this any better than a plastic pill caddy you can pick up from the pound shop?<\/strong>
\nBecause you tell Medisafe what time you are supposed to take each pill, it can pop up on your phone and remind you if you\u2019ve not done so. Mine\u00a0alerts me\u00a0at 9am every day, by which point I\u2019ve usually taken my medicine and I just mark it as \u2018taken\u2019 on the app. However, where this works brilliantly is you can have Medfriends \u2013 so I also get alerted if my husband hasn\u2019t marked his pills as taken, and I can give him a gentle prod. This is a god-send for someone with anxiety as he doesn\u2019t have to do any of the remembering.\u00a0You can also add dependents \u2013 people who don\u2019t have their own app log in (children, elderly relatives) who you can keep track of medicines for yourself.<\/p>\n
