Seeking some medication management advice.

Hi!


I’m a currently a design student working to design a better way to support caregivers in organizing medication, and reminding/helping their loved ones take medication. This project strikes a chord with me because I'm also a current caregiver for someone and I would like some advice personally as well.


How do you currently keep track of medications and what methods do you have for remembering to help a loved one take them?

Just google medication management systems - There are so many currently available (from low tech to smart tech) that there is already likely to be something that meets the needs of almost everyone.

It would depend on the number of meds and frequency

I made up daily note sheets, double sided, with the two pills and two vitamins across the top and meal times listed on the left in grid fashion

I typed a check mark in the relevant grid which mom would circle when she took them

the sheet of paper, a pen and the pill bottles were kept on the kitchen counter

this worked well as long as mom had the cognitive ability to do it
