Tech For You Banner

Do you or someone you know have trouble keeping track of all the medicines they have to take?  If you go to a lot of doctors, it can be really confusing keeping track of all that information.  We have found an app that can help with that.  Medisafe is an easy to use app that keeps all of your medical information in one place. 

Adding medicines to the app just requires entering in the name of the medicine, the time you need to take the medicine, how much you need to take and if you need to take it everyday.

,

 

It also allows you to pick the shape and color of the medicine you take to help with the confusion issue.

 

Once you get all your medicines put in the app you get a nice chart which tells you by the shape and color of your pills when you need to take them.

 

The app will give you audible reminders when you need to take your medicine.  Some other nice features of the app are it lets you keep track of your doctor's appointments and your vital statistics (which it will email directly to your doctor).  The app with also allow you to have what they call a Medifriend.  This is a friend or family member that you can link with that can also help you remember to take your medication in case you forget.

So if you want to keep your medical information organized, why not give Medisafe a try.
