PillPack is great. This app looks great. Motion seconded that it can be used by anyone.
I hate medication adherence as a concept. Healthcare proper won't shut up about it and they just. don't. get it. This may be the first app I have some faith in actually tackling this human frailty.
@thetylerhayes The problem is that NO ONE gets medication adherence. Pill Pack is doing doing better than anyone else at this point, but it's a complex psychological / behavioral nut which nobody has yet cracked.
Been following PillPack since it launched and I'm glad you're tackling the adherence problem head on. Appreciate that the app can be used by non-PillPack customers too.
@zsr5 Hey Zach, long time no see. The iOS app doesn't show how many medications you have left, but a PillPack customer can login to their dashboard to see how many refills remain and when their next PillPack will arrive.
@fbara The two biggest pain points with existing reminder apps are the tedious data entry associated with setting up your reminders and the functionality of the reminder itself.
For someone who has never used a medication reminder app, the auto-med list import system is a tremendous benefit/time saver. Anyone who uses the PillPack app can input a few data fields and have their medications automatically imported without typing a letter or uploading a photo. (Needless to say, this is helpful for a first time medication app user.)
For you, the PillPack app offers the additional functionality of custom reminders based on context-specific conditions (e.g. alert me when I arrive at work, remind me when I get home) that are more intuitive to daily habits. Of course, you can still setup reminders based on an alarm clock functionality as well.
I would say these are the two main differentiators; however, there are also subtle items such as the overall user experience design, the ability for PillPack customers to contact our pharmacists via phone or email through the app and our extensive database/library of medication imagery provides a more accurate visualization (shape and color) of the medicine you take.
Where can I find an iPhone 7?
