Pillzy

Pillzy app came from a simple but common problem: people forget to take their medication, not because they don’t care, but because life gets busy. I saw how missed doses affected outcomes; especially for people managing long-term conditions, taking multiple medications, or supporting family members. Even vitamins and supplements, which seem “optional,” were often taken inconsistently. What stood out was that many existing solutions felt either too clinical or too complicated. People didn’t need another complex medical system, they needed something reliable, simple, and human. The core problem wasn’t just forgetting pills. It was: Lack of clear planning (daily, weekly, monthly) No easy way to track adherence (taken vs skipped) Poor visibility into patterns and consistency No simple way to share reports with doctors or caregivers Running out of medicine with no refill reminder This led to stress, missed treatments, and poor health outcomes; especially for users managing multiple pills, supplements, vitamins, or injections. I started with one goal: make reminders dependable. Early versions focused purely on alerts. But as I tested and refined the app, it became clear that reminders alone weren’t enough. The process evolved in three key ways: From reminders to planning I added calendar view so users could see their treatment, not just react to notifications. From alerts to accountability Tracking whether a dose was taken or skipped unlocked adherence insights. This shifted the app from a reminder tool into a health companion. From personal use to shared care Exportable reports became essential. Users wanted to share progress with doctors, family members, or caregivers without friction. Throughout the launch process, I kept removing friction, simplifying flows, and prioritizing clarity. Every feature had to answer one question: Does this make it easier for someone to take care of their health?
