While I see this as a completely useful tool when one is a caretaker or parent, I think this bit on their homepage is false: "People taking medication are typically not alone. A parent, child, spouse, or someone else close to them is taking some level of responsibility." I'd wager most people on medication from 18-65 are completely responsible for taking t… See more

@stttories It depends on why they're on medication, I think. I have a close relative in their 30's on meds for mental health, they do need reminders from family members. As did my grandfather in his 70's for other meds. Maybe their wording is off, but I think the sentiment is there.

@stttories Thanks. I understand what you're talking about but don't fully agree. Some stats: 700,000 people a year suffer a medical emergency due to mis-management of medication. 35,000 ppl a year die because of that. 86 million people in the US are diabetic or pre-diabetic.

@avizuber Important to note that mental health issues fall on a vast spectrum. I don't need to be reminded to take my medication because I can't live a full life without it. I'm moreso speaking from my experience and the experience of those around me who are on medication.

@omrishor The sentiment I was trying to get across is that the responsibility for taking medication often lays solely with the person taking it. My roommates and partners don't remind me to take medication, I'm 100% responsible for taking my medication. I'm not debating the definite need and purpose for your product, simply raising an issue with your word… See more

@stttories What you said is 100% correct. It's ultimately a very personal issue, the product works for some and not for others. For those that *could* benefit from this sort of product, MediSafe happens offer a great UI/UX, so they got my upvote. But I equally hear what you're saying.

@stttories Thanks. Medisafe works for an individual that chooses not to sync as well. Actually, most of out users use it for themselves. It does offer the ability to connect as well. Sadly, if you'll search for research on medication non-adherence for mental medication, you'll find out that most patients are not at all responsible like you. But no worries,… See more
