Medication Reminders
1 out of every 5 adults forgets to take their medication as prescribed. With NowPatient’s medication reminder service, you will be notified when to take your medication. If you miss a dose, we can enable notifications to alert a family member or loved one.
How it works
Navigate to the features section in your account and select Medication Reminders
Choose your medication
Here you will see a record of existing medications that you take. You can select the medication for which you want to set up reminder alerts. If we do not have a record of your medication or if you want to set up a reminder for non-medical products like vitamins, you will be able to use the free-type box to add this information.
Select the frequency and time that you have been prescribed the medication
Save the reminder
You can also set a family member or nominated carer as an extra contact for your reminders.
We will set up alerts or prompts to take your medication at the prescribed times and frequency
You will also be able to see these on your dashboard.
Live notifications and alerts
When it’s time to take your medicine, we’ll send you a notification. The message will request that you confirm that you have taken your dose. If you miss a dose, we will also notify you or your nominated carer or family member.
