How to use:

When entering medications it offered well managed suggestions that allowed us to easily select the correct medication. For all of our test medications it provided a very nice, accurate picture of the pill; it was easy to make sure we were dealing with the right medication.

The main screen looks like a circular pill box with four compartments, labeled for times of the day. The compartment for the current time of day appears uncovered. It is a very pleasant home screen.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a video in the app for each of our medications. A person in a white lab coat spends a few minutes talking about the typical use for the drug, the side effects, contraindications, and other things. We found these videos to be very informative. Not all of our test medications had videos.

Medisafe allows you to track a number of different “measurements” such as blood pressure, glucose, pain, etc. We found them easy to add, but the app did not remind us to do so.

It is easy to export a history of medications and measurements to an email message. The app even offers to send an Excel spreadsheet file.

Medisafe does not offer web site access to your information, so you have to manage your information through the app on your smartphone.

Medisafe does allow you to designate another person as a “medfriend.” Your medfriend has to also install Medisafe on their smartphone. Once they accept your invitation they can see your medications and dosing schedule. A medfriend will receive a notification through the app 30 minutes after you miss a dose. It’s nice to have someone as a medication backup, but you have to remember that they get to see all the medications that you manage with Medisafe.

Medisafe has an extensive privacy statement on their web site, but it does not mention HIPAA compliance. However their support team tells us that they are HIPAA compliant.
