Medisafe linkme: Medisafe
After breaking my hip, I had to take a lot of different medication (pain killers, blood thinner injections etc), each was at a different time of day and number of tablets etc. This app helped make sure I was taking the correct meds at the right time and kept tabs on what I needed to get more of.

I use Medisafe to remind me to take my pills, another great app.
I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Shit) so my phone has to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Yesss, I found a meds box that has 7 days that are seperate and you can take 1 day with you in your bag, and it has 5 compartments per day (morning, afternoon, evening, night, take as needed). So I bought 4 of them and now every month I take 30mins to refill them all and every morning I can just get my meds of my nightstand and throw it in my bad.
I still use a med app (medisafe) as backup, and together the system works really well (haven't forgotten my meds in a year except 2 times when).
My grandmother uses MediSafe. It notifies you when you have to take your medicine. There are buttons for Take, Snooze, and Skip.

I've been using this for a while. Their notification setup is quite weak but I can't complain too much since the price is free.
Medisafe medication and pill reminder is an app I use to make sure I take all my pills on time. I had an organ transplant and need to make sure I never miss a dose and that they are taken at the right time.
Relax. You can get through this. Just make a few adjustments :)
>For a few weeks now I take lantus at night and wake up with night lows or low in the morning. I keep lessening the dose (from 25 to about 15) and it still happens.
This is very common, and the solution isn't to lower the dose, it's to split it: take 12 in the morning and 12 at night. I use an app on my phone called Medisafe to remind me to take it at 11am and 11pm. I'm sure there's a similar thing for iPhone. Splitting the dose eliminated the pre-dawn lows and late afternoon highs for me.
>This has started scaring me that there's a good chance that I won't wake up one of these times.
I think that's unlikely. If you're waking up now, it means your hypo-awareness is fine. Only some people lose the ability to feel a hypo.
> Today I was stuck around 200-300 all day and had only eaten a salad for lunch, a banana for breakfast. I took about 30 units of Humalog over 5 hours and nothing happened.
Yeah, I've had days like that! But in your case that could easily be caused by insufficient lantus. I think splitting the dose 12/12 will help a lot. Also, try a different bottle of Humalog just in case something has gone wrong with this one.
Good luck! You can do it!
I had the same issue when I first started. Now, I use the app Medisafe to remind me to take them. It's simple to use and has been a life saver for me. It's free, but there's also a paid version, only a few bucks and totally worth the investment for the notification tones they have. (I pay for my apps via the $ earned from Google Opinion Rewards, a survey app where you get paid to answer short surveys, made $114 since 2014.) Medisafe is so effective, my doctor recommends it to her other patients all the time. Here's a link to the app if you're interested:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
Google Opinion Rewards:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks
Added this just in case you're interested, it's usually short answer stuff. I got a survey earlier asking if I own or rent, paid 10¢ for answering, only took a second. Sometimes they're more than just one question, but never more than 4-5. May seem like nothing, but a little bit of change turns into a dollar real quick. I've used the $ to buy several self help/mental health management books.
Best of luck to you!
First thing I ever did on day one of hrt was to download an app to keep track of my hormones so that I don't have to.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client is the app I use personally and so far the only day I missed my hormones was because I accidentally left them in Victoria on new years and I wasn't going to drive 6 hours just to immediately go to work without any sleep.
We're time bombs that's true, but with time the bomb becomes smaller and the explosion manageable.
Meds are important of course - Ever considered using an app to remind you take them? I use Medisafe; alongside the usual alarms, you can set up a "medifriend" who'll get a notification if you don't register you took your meds on time. It has some other useful features as well.
Hang in there and try to be as constant with everything in your life as possible, specially meds.
I made this comment above, but I'll copy it here for you:
I use Medisafe (Android) app to remind me to take my pills. The app works really well and is completely free. I think the most important part for me is to NEVER mark a pill as taken until you have taken it. As soon as you do that once or twice you can start to second guess yourself about whether you took it or not.
There's an app I use that's really useful (it just went off reminding me to take my pill as I was typing this) for android called Medisafe. I don't know if it's available on iTunes but it's really helpful. I would literally be pregnant if it weren't for this app. My memory is atrocious.
Well I never wanted one, but they hand them out as a going away present when I was discharged from the hospital the first time.
I still use it to this day, damn useful thing.
And I HIGHLY SUGGEST also using an app like this one, Medisafe, to help keep track of when to take them and remind you. Supposedly it also has some kind of integration to notify your pharmacy when your low and download to your doctor to let them know your taking it on schedule but I dont personally use those functions.
And when I volunteer at the hospital all the nurses chuckle when it goes off and they hear Elsa from Frozen sing, "Take your PILLS! Take your PILLS!"
I've used this one when I've had to take lots of different meds on different timetables: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client&hl=en_US&gl=US
You can log all your medications, and the app has good reminders.
I just found this app that is literally perfect. Thought you might like it as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
Can't you make a small calendar, with x blocks per day (x being the amount of times you need to take a new pill) and cross off a block every time. There should be apps for this as well.
Short google session gave me this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
Should be sth like that for apple as well, I'd assume.
Succes man en goed te horen dat het werkt voor je!
If you're worried about reminders for meds, I currently use this app which is superb. I can't recommend using it enough, is perfect for what it is designed for.
After my father had his stroke we started using Medisafe (available on iPhone and Android).
You input your medications and when they are due and the phone alerts you when it's time to take it again, you can also set it up so that it alerts someone else if you fail to sign into the app and take the medication.
Very useful and I recommend it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
I tried this one: Medisafe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
It's good to set timers. Better for just a couple meds...for supplements I had to go old school spreadsheet and pill box. Lol.
I use Medisafe and it's done really well by me.
Its a electronic pill box that helps you keep track of what pills you are taking and in what groups they are. Along with reminder alarms and other features.
I have found medisafe to be the most useable.
Linkme: medisafe
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
You can have muliple users and a lot of different medications. I was using it to manage eight different medications, each with their own schedule. It can even cope when a medication is taken late and move the next time of dose.
I use the regular calendar that comes with Android for all of those. If I need to make a call, I just add a reminder at a specific date on the calendar. I get a notification the day before an appointment, and on the same day. If you have a gmail account, you can just click on the calendar icon on the right of the screen. It automatically syncs with your phone and tablet.
I use Medisafe for tracking my medication, and it has a doctor and appointment section. I've never used it, but it sounds like what you want.
I use medisafe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
Has all the features you mentioned. I mostly use it for pill reminders though. It also has a feature where you could email a weekly report to your doctor. I don't use it, but it exists.
Even if you only use the free version, it's quite customizable and reliable. You can set meds at set times, as hours-intervals (every 4hrs, etc), as as-needed, and possibly more (but I didn't look that deep). It keeps a record of whether or not you marked your meds as taken, and you can sign up for a free account that will back this up for you. I think there's also a way to give a loved one "guest" status so that if you miss a dose, they are alerted so they can remind you. It's pretty useful! Medisafe for Android
I use this app to keep track of my medication. I find it better than an alarm as it allows me to keep track of if I have actually taken it. I found I would snooze an alarm as I wasn't near my meds or something and then forget. The app will show a notification on my phone even after the alarms have expired (e.g. after 10 snoozes).
It also has a feature where someone such as yourself can see if your sister has taken the meds. I haven't tried that myself.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client they probably have an iPhone version as well.
I hope that is helpful.
I recommend MediSafe. The app has a really obnoxious notification on your phone that you set up to remind you to take meds at a certain time and the dose, then it gives a % at the end of each week of how many times you took your meds. Good for knowing why you've had a rough week if you get a low percentage. Generally though you can just leave the notification and then mark as taken once you take the meds.
Here it is on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
I use an app called Medisafe to remind me and it seems to do a good job, it won't stop reminding until I take the dose.

I think the most important part for me is to NEVER mark a pill as taken until you have taken it. As soon as you do that once or twice you can start to second guess yourself about whether you took it or not.
It is! Also out of the box it does this really conspicuous shaking pill bottle noise and they offer a lot of really embarrassing alternatives but you can use a system ringtone or no ringtone at all. Just don't enable the "custom volume" option, I did that and for two months my phone kept going silent for every pill reminder and it drove me crazy.
Von mir hat zum Glück bisher niemand erwartet, dass ich irgendwas dokumentiere. Ich benutze jedenfalls Medisafe (und lasse mich derzeit von Austin Powers daran erinnern, meine "groovy meds" zu nehmen) und bin sehr zufrieden damit, vielleicht ist das ja was für dich.
Aaah someone already mentioned it, nice. I'm just gonna link it here too, for extra convinience. I also combine it with a 4-week pillbox that I refill when I get my prescription. Mine had individual day-boxes so I chuck that particular day in my bag in the morning and I'm good to go!
Luckily for me I just have the one pill a day (Concerta).
My wife, who takes... a... a true fuckload of pills every day... She uses an app that works very well for her.
She has a bunch of pills taken at multiple schedules. She uses it to keep track of her epilepsy, and migraines, and when she needs to clean her medical equipment. It's pretty nice.
I recommend medisafe to check for interactions. I was pretty much dying for over a year due to a medication interaction that 5 different doctors missed (omeprazole + zoloft blocks vitamin B absorption). Tramadol is an opioid, which unfortunately get overprescribed for IBD since NSAIDs are so bad for us. I recommend using the absolute minimum dosage and frequency (I was on codeine for a year and I really only used it to sleep so I wouldn't wake up with cramps).
Good luck friend, I hope your symptoms improve soon.
I like the medisafe appmedisafe app, it does the same thing but can choose how long to snooze and when it reminds you it covers up your phone screen. Being interupted annoys me enough to go actually take my meds rather than keep snoozing
Or you can just set multiple reminders and notifications.
For my medications I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
It also used to have a wear os app for it to, not sure if it still does.
You have a couple of options if using an Android phone:
1) If you are prepared to use standard alarms as your reminders then virtually every smartwatch will work for you, as the alarms are built into the watch. Would probably suggest a Garmin as they tend to have longer battery life, and their alarm system is pretty good. Alternatively Wear os and Tizen would work too. Not sure about rest as have no experinece of their alarm functions.
2) If it has to be a specific pill reminder app then you are probably only left with Wear os, and would recommend using the Medisafe app (you install the app on your phone and your watch): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client&gl=GB
Best battery life watches in wear os environment are Ticwatch Pro 3, then Suunto 7.
(only issue I have with wear os / tizen / fitbit is that they are all moving to new Wear 3.0 platform, and current models will not be upgraded (possible exception is some current wear os models, but if so likely to only be sometime next year, and performance could be an issue) - so don't expect new features/upgrades, but should still be able to do what it does today, tomorrow - just will have very limited support).
​
If using an iPhone your best bet is an apple watch - I am sure they will have an app with this functionality - and or you can use the alarm app.
If he has an Android watch or phone, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client&hl=en_US&gl=US
I use Medisafe for Android for tracking when and if I've taken all my pills and four 7-day organizers (get the meds once a month) so that i take the right ones and don't have to think about where the bottle is. Would higly recommend.
You're welcome!
If you have a hard time remembering the meds, you may want to consider an app like this one Medisafe Prescription Reminder (no affiliation) that can help keep you on track. Remembering meds can be difficult, particularly since we have a mental illness and take medication that can mess with our memories.
It sounds like you have a good approach. If you have any other questions, feel free to give me a yell.
I use a phone app, Medisafe, that reminds me and keeps track of my adherence.

I have been taking meds for over 20 years. I am a translator and can't at times honestly remember the definition of a word I just typed in like 3 minutes ago or the name of my friend who I have known for years. I have, however, tried taking Ritalin and Adderall, which did nothing but made me focus completely irrelevant things. I have been following a ketogenic diet for a long time now and took a break from it last weekend and ate pizza/drank beer for three days. When I woke up yesterday, the tiredness was overwhelming, I had forgotten how hard it is to function on a regular diet. Since I am not a doctor, I can't give any advice, but I will describe what I do:
For energy: a strict ketogenic diet
For depression: evaluate the stressors in your life and think about cutting them out. Find something that distracts you when you are feeling down (I play games). Explain to your partner that you need some time to be alone.
For focusing: don't think that your performance grows better with age, it does not. Much like with any system, the more information you possess, the more cluttered the mind becomes (I guarantee that most people don't remember certain basics from their Bachelors 5 years after they have graduated).
Don't forget to use helpful tools, i.e. apps that help you remember to take meds (I used this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client)
PS! My girlfriend is completely healthy and has repeatedly left her phone in the fridge three times this month. So don't feel too bad about being forgetful. It happens to everyone.
Pill Reminder & Medication Tracker - Medisafe is an app I use to remind me to take medicines on schedule. It works nearly as you describe. You can use it, but instead of medicines, you could enter various tasks. The app will let you snooze or dismiss (or accept) the reminder. You can also take an unscheduled dose (read: take care of a task out of the blue). At the end of the week it'll show you a report with how well you did. You can run your own reports with a custom timeline and you can export the reports if you like. Just an idea.
Free tip: there are apps for reminding you to refill or to take tour medicine. I use Medisafe myself, but thats just one of the many. You can set reminders of each medicine you take, set the amount you need to take and you can set the amount of pills you have left with a reminder to refill at your desired amount of pills left. Sometimes I still forget to take them or to request a refill, but it certainly helps!
There are some free apps online which seem quite good for example this App And exisiting medicine reminder cases as well which might be worth looking into.
If you do want to make it yourself and want it to be really small you'd probably have to make a custom pcb with a small amplifier for the speaker depending on how loud you want it. If you don't want to make your own pcb you can buy something like this e-ink display
Do note that e-ink is pretty expensive but uses low power thus increasing battery life. A cheaper option would be a LCD or oled screen but this will increase battery discharge.
You'd also need a RTC module to keep the time/date. If accuracy is really important then i'd stay away from the chinese ripoffs as they can drift up to 5 min a month in some cases due to temperature changes.
Last you'd need an amplifier module for a couple watts depending on the volume you want and your speaker.
You could omit the speaker and amplfier by using a piezo buzzer but again this won't be all that loud.
> Medical ID - A very interesting app that makes your health information available from the lock screen to anyone who assists you in an emergency (or finds your body).
I would gladly recommend: Pill Reminder and Medication Tracker by Medisafe
and Ada - Your Health Guide - a medical assitant who knows thousands of symptoms and conditions, from a common cold to rare diseases.
How is Fella for Facebook compared to Friendly?
Ever tried an app called Medisafe? You can set reminders so it tell you when to take your meds, as well as when you're running out of them. You can customize said reminders as you wish.
It has helped me immensely over the past year, and still does now; it's free, and although it has a premium version, it isn't really needed nor worth it, at least in my opinion.
Edit - Here's the link;
I know it's probably depression, not forgetfulness, that keeps you from taking your medications, but the app Medisafe is supposed to be good for medication reminders. It buzzes nonstop until you snooze it (and theoretically take your pills)
I love Medisafe, but it doesn't track custom numerical symptoms. You can use "mood level", "pain level" or "bowel movement level". :)
I used medisafe its for medications but I add my supplement stack manually and keep track of it and get reminders to take them
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client&hl=de
I use Medisafe, It also helps others in my household remember their pills when Elsa from "Frozen" busts out with "..TAKE YOUR PILLS...TAKE YOUR PILLS!!!"
It has reminders via notifications, which can be config'd however you wish, if that's what you mean. They thought the app out quite extensively. You oughta go check it out on the play store to see what I mean.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client
I'm using an app on my phone/watch to help remind me to take my pills and at what times. Even reminds me to get refills! Granted this if on Android, but I'm betting there's the same on iOS if that's your phone of choice.
I don't, but I am about 7 months into Ritalin IR (20mg x 3) and have noticed the same issue. The recent holidays just made things worse. Too many opportunities to drink, eat to excess and stay up way too late. I am having the most difficult time getting back on track.
I have an app (Medisafe) on my phone that helps me remember to take my pill on-time, but lately it's just not helping as much.
I'm looking forward to getting back to feeling productive and less scatter-brained.
Don't bother with alarms on your phone, get the Medisafe app instead (it's free). We looked into this app for my father when seizures gave him dementia, and put it on my wife's phone to test as she takes a number of medications. My father ended up going to a care home instead, but my wife still uses the app as she too has different pills at different times of day.
For others - it has the bonus feature that you can then install it on your own phone and get alerts if the person misses their meds (thus why we were putting it on my dad's phone). It impressed the government home health coordinators enough when I showed it to them that they are now recommending it to everyone using their services.
I was horrible about taking all the pills in a course until I found the MediSafe App.
It is extremely easy to use, and free.
Or you can use this android app. When I need to take meds it reminds me to do so, you just have to press a button after taking pills. I think it can remind you to go take a refill too.
Medisafe. Compatible with wear.
General recommendations:
Are you planning on rooting? If you are, might as well do it as soon as possible since to root you need to unlock your phone's bootloader and that forces a reset/wipe.
Cool stuff to do with root: - adaway
This is a system wide DNS ad blocking method. It keeps a list frequently updated of addresses for ads. Whenever some app on your phone tries to go to one of them, it is redirected to a void page effectively preventing the ad from being downloaded and seen.
This may seem complicated but all you really need to do is install adaway, tap the update button, reboot phone, done.
This is a YouTube app for people outside of the US who can't have premium/red. It allows background playing, yt adblocking, and a few extra goodies. Really useful.
Alternately, you can try [NewPipe](newpipe.schabi.org), an open source, alternative YouTube player.
This is all I use root for but there is a whole world out there dedicated to root, much much more. Your imagination is pretty much the limit.
Give gestures a try (on settings).
Change theme to black with the accent color of your liking.
Set double tap home screen to turn screen off (long tap on a vacant spot on home screen, settings, double tap to lock).
Arrange the quick settings (drop down shortcuts on notifications) your way.
Setup app locker so your apps be locked behind an extra instance of protection when they're opened.
That's it for generic advice.
As for what you asked: have no clue about transferring music from Apple to Android, never had an iPhone long enough to build a music library. Really disliked how iTunes and it's sync works. Pretty sure something exists though, that's probably a much requested feature.
Pill reminder: there's a TON of them, free. Just head to the PlayStore and search for pill reminder. A lot will show up, first one (Pill reminder and medication tracker) having won Google's Editor Choice for 2016.
Doctor info: I don't know of anything specific. You can wing it with Google Keep though. It's Google's app to save any information you may want long term (text, pics, etc). It's instantly sync'd to your G account as soon as you finish it and there are multiple ways of introducing data and setting reminders. You'll never lose it.
You can also use the same google contacts, create a contact and there's an extra notes field for generic purposes . You can set up a group called doctors and associate these special contacts to that group.
Ask away if you have any doubt. I've been using OnePlus phones since the OnePlus One (am using the 6 now).

have you tried Medisafe?
Free and open source is great of course, but I have been using Medisafe which works EXTREMELY well for me.
Google reminders and Google calendar, even for everyday, mundane things. Notifications, reminders, map links, etc. Google Now, as it improves, is growing on me. It reminds me of things and alerts me of things I hadn't even thought about.
Specifics apps I find helpful, off the top of my head...
MediSafe. Helps me track my meds AND nags me to take them! Even alerts my fiancee if I've not taken them.
Alarm clock extreme. Specifically the ability to force myself to complete math problems to dismiss the alarm. I wish I could integrate this with Google calendar and Google reminders.
My fiancee swears by Timetable, and I plan to use it when I go back to school in a few weeks.
Fuel Buddy - Car Mileage Tracker. I like actively tracking my fuel use and costs. However, I tried to do the same with household purchases and groceries, but it was terribly tedious.
Levels. I've linked my phone and tablet to it, and connected with my fiancee and her phone. I find it very helpful.
Medisafe has served me well in the past when I've been on medication. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medisafe.android.client

Google Opinion Rewards. Not work-y but it's a fantastic app that gives you money (usually around $0.10 per question and usually around 3 question surverys) for answering surveys. No credit card is needed for setup (Just a Google account). Just make sure you are honest and actually read all of the question when answering (they like to trick you to see if you are trustworthy). Since May 1st of this year, I've already made $5.80 but I've heard of some people making $10-$50 after a few months. Also, this money can only be used on the Play Store (movies,books,apps,etc.) so it's technically not real money. BUT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!
I've been using this app for a couple of weeks for me and my daugther medications. It's kinda great, no adds, and free.
