Apple Watch app Supports Medication Management

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 Apr 2015
A mobile medication management platform that reminds patients to take their medications via smartphones and tablets is now available for the Apple Watch.

The Medisafe Apple Watch is available to all current Medisafe users who purchase an Apple Watch, who will simply need to update their iPhone iOS app to get all of the benefits of the app. This includes features such as Force Touch, which allows users to respond quickly to updates and prompts, mark medication usages, and engage them in related healthcare content and resources currently available on the iPhone app. Another feature is Glance, which allows users to easily view medication dosages and scheduled reminders.

The Apple Watch release follows a recent iPhone product update, which enables integration of user biometrics from both devices into adherence reports. The Apple Watch app also supports the HealthKit feature, so that any data captured through Apple Watch's sensors and workout and activity apps are available for tracking important health and fitness data, alongside drug regimen adherence. The Medisafe iPhone and Apple Watch apps are products of Medisafe (Boston, MA, USA).

“Medisafe's Apple Watch app brings patients even closer to their medication and makes them increasingly accountable for their health. We've said many times we will be on the front end of the innovation curve when it supports and enhances our patient-centric approach to solving non-adherence," said Omri Shor, CEO of Medisafe. “Apple Watch not only makes it even easier for our users to stay on top of their medications, but also promises a more complete picture of a patient's health.”

Medisafe is an iOS and Android mobile app and cloud-synched database that provides medication and treatment adherence program for the patients, as well as for supportive families, friends, and caretakers so that they can identify when patients have taken medication, and alert them when they have not. The system will soon become accessible to people without smartphones, via an automated phone system and SMS. Caretakers will be able to receive alerts via incoming, automated calls when patients appeared to have missed a dose.
