Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a medication reminder app?
No—it's a wellness check-in. But you can tie the check-in to their med routine (e.g., 'Check in after morning pills'). It becomes an additional habit anchor.
Can they note what medications they took?
Yes, check-in notes are optional. They can write 'Took morning meds' if that helps them remember and helps you track.
What if they miss meds but still check in?
This app confirms general wellness, not specific medication. For strict med adherence, consider dedicated pill reminder apps alongside this.
They have dementia and forget everything.
For severe dementia, more comprehensive care is needed. This app works best for mild forgetfulness, not advanced cognitive decline.
