Helpful App Alert: Care4Today Mobile Health Manager

I am awful at remembering to take medications.  When I was taking the birth control pill, I had to set an alarm so I would remember to take it every night (one reason why I chose the Implanon after Gabby).  Vitamins are even worse!  I keep mine next to my toothbrush and I still forget.

There's a new FREE app that will help you with this problem!  Care4Today is available for iPhone and Android.  Don't have a smart phone?  You can sign up on the website and get text alerts!

Care4Today lets you schedule all of your medications, as well as those for your family members (up to 15 people).  You will get alerts when it's time to take your pills, also when it's time to get a refill or new prescription! 

Right now the girls aren't taking any meds, but I would love to have this for vitamins in the future.  You can also schedule things like "Feed Rambo", so the poor dog doesn't go unfed.  (Has anyone else been sitting on the couch at 8pm, with the debate with your spouse: Did we feed the dog?).

Since you can link the information with your whole family, you make sure your loved ones are also taking their prescriptions.  This would be especially helpful while caring for a loved one in another location.

Need more of an incentive to take your medication on time?  When you sign up, you chose a charity which Care4Today will donate to daily when you take your meds on time!  They will donate a minimum of $20,000 to each of these charities:

• American Diabetes Association
• AIDS United
• Save the Children
