iPills: An App for Keeping Track of Your Medication
So taking medication can be a nuisance but at some point in our lives we’ll all have to. Most likely under strict orders of a doctor about when to take them and how often. Great, just one more thing for us to remember.
For situations like this most of us would simply create an alarm on our phone but I think that iPills does a much, much better job.
It’s an app for the iPhone that is basically a virtual pillbox. You program in what pills you have to take and when. You can also set them up to re-occur if you have to take them more than once. Each pill in your pillbox can be customized to look like the real thing or to set it apart from the rest. When you have taken the pill you simply tap it and it is moved into the ‘Taken’ box.
This is an incredibly simple app to use which is good seeing that many people on numerous types of pills are of an older generation and may not be as tech savvy as younger people.
But then it isn’t just for old timers. Many of us take vitamins, birth control pills (don’t forget that one!) and other such meds. So keeping track of it all just got that little bit easier. iPills is available here.
