“Companies that offer such services include mymedschedule.com, which provides free medication reminders via text message or e-mail. Their website can also help you make easy-to-read medication schedules that you can print out for your mom to follow.”

Caring.com is a great resource for anyone who cares for an aging parent, spouse, or other loved one. Their mission is “to help the helpers.” The site includes many helpful articles, including No More Missed Pills, a recent post with tips for using technology for better medication management, by contributing editor Katy Thomas, PHD:

“MyMedSchedule.com is a free service that allows you to create easy-to-read medication schedules and set up daily text or e-mail reminders. The site makes it easy to print out large text or wallet size daily schedules as well as weekly and monthly checklists.”

ChronicBabe, a site for young women who are “living well in spite of illness,” loves MyMedSchedule: 

“MyMedSchedule: Use this nifty free application to set refill reminders, create pocket-sized lists to bring to doctor appointments, create pill box organizers and more.”

In their latest newsletter, ChronicBabe adds MyMedSchedule to its Fab Five: sites we love. 

“Wow! This website made it super easy to organize and remind me of my pill schedule after surgery. My favorite feature was the printable charts that showed a picture and description of my medications, so there was no confusion. The text message reminders were an added bonus. Using MyMedSchedule gave me peace of mind that I was taking the right medications at the right times. Absolutely love this service, and recommend it to anyone taking medication.”

“Our patients’ survival rate is 15 percent higher than the national average for patients three years post transplant, at an exceptional 96.8 percent. Our outcomes reflect care, planning and attention to detail along with a step-by step analysis of all of our processes, including education tools. MedActionPlan is part of our ‘continuum of care.’”

“We use MedActionPlan for every patient discharge, and we appreciate the program upgrades and the rapid response of your IT department.”
