What Tech Do You Use For Keeping Track Of Your Meds Or Labs? #medication #tech #compliance
Ever since I was young I’ve always struggled with being compliant with medication — especially pills! This has transcended into my adulthood, and I’ll be honest, I still struggle with the routine of taking meds daily.

I recently downloaded "Daily Charge" although I have yet to use. I do like the Pill Reminder notification.
I think being HIV+ caused me to be more OCD. But there were times that I had to make myself take meds. Especially in the early days of the new drugs. Then after 6-7 years wanted drug holiday.

I'm not stuck to a 12 or 24 strick timing.
I do have other issues such as diabetes, asthma, drug side effects that can make me nuts trying to balance it all. Like you all, I have good days, regular days, and bad days.
Sorry I'm so chatty.
I have most of my meds blister-packed by the pharmacy and get 4 weeks worth at a time, so those ones are all labelled with day and time of day. It’s basically a pill organiser which is great. Then there’s the other ones which I just time myself, I’m actually pretty good for the most part, I’m just not exactly rigid.
I just set an alarm, but this looks way better. Thank you for the post! I take half a dozen medications, so this would be helpful.
The CD4 and viral load feature is what I liked. However, not sure how user friendly it is to input, etc. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍
