Using the MyMedicInfo App

medical

Get organized and stay organized with your medical history.

Keeping your medications organized and taking them properly is one of the most important things you can do to improve or maintain your health.  In order for the medicine to work as intended, following the correct instructions is paramount.  Is the medicine to be taken on an empty stomach?  Is there a certain time of the day to take the medicine?  Will dosing of one medicine interfere with the performance of another if they are taken at the same time?  Discussing with your clinician and your pharmacist on how to properly take your medicine is important for your medication to work as intended.

The more medication you take, the greater the possibility for drug interactions.  Thus, keeping your medications organized and knowing how and when to take them is important.  When one takes a medication as directed, it is more likely to benefit you.  As we are all aware, taking medicine incorrectly can have unwanted effects on you health.

With all the new prescriptions on the market, it is difficult to keep up.  Pill organizers can help you with taking your medicine at the correct time each day.  Ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure you are taking the medicine as directed. The MyMedicInfo app makes it easy to keep track of your medications and update any changes as needed.

Why have a medical app?

Be your own advocate.

It was Bette Davis who infamously quipped: “Old age isn’t for sissies.” And boy was she right! These days, navigating the world of healthcare can seem like climbing a mountain to get what you need. Yet, it’s not just the elderly who suffer with accumulating health concerns, medications and allergies. All of us at one time or another become consumers of healthcare.  Were you born in a hospital?  You became a consumer of health care as soon as you entered this world!! As a consumer of health care, you do your part to pick competent health care professionals.  You trust them to provide quality care.  Now you can prepare for your future visits and improve your communication with health care professionals with MyMedicInfo.

We all hope that we are able to avoid health problems and unexpected accidents. Inevitably, the numbers say that it has to happen to someone. If that someone is you, you should be prepared. If a health incident befell you, how could you be sure that the EMTs and medical staff would know what medications you take and what allergies you have when the ambulance arrives? Since many of us are unprepared for this situation, the best the medical staff can do is guess. Do you really want others giving you medicine or treatment if they don’t know what prescriptions you are already taking?  Many people, with known medical conditions and allergies, wear medical alert jewelry, such as a medical alert bracelet. Not a bad start, but in this day and age, we could certainly do much better.
