RememRx: Pill Reminder

MISSED DOSES ARE REPORTED EVEN WHEN YOU LOG THEM LATE If you share with a remote caregiver, a dose you took well after its due time stopped being reported at all — logging it late made it look, to the app, like nothing had gone wrong. Your iPhone now works out afterwards whether anything was actually taken in time, so a late dose still reaches your caregiver. A word on timing, because it is not what an alert used to feel like: your own iPhone is what notices, and it notices when you open RememRx. If your phone was closed or offline when a dose was missed, your caregiver hears at the next check rather than at the minute it happened. The upside is that an alert now means something real, rather than meaning your caregiver's phone had not heard from yours. A WAY TO SEE THAT IT IS WORKING Settings now shows when your iPhone last checked for missed doses and what it found, right under the switch that turns caregiver alerts on. You can tap it to check immediately. An alert that never arrives leaves no trace anywhere, so this is the one place to confirm that the checking is happening. YOUR CAREGIVER'S VIEW REFRESHES WHEN THEY COME BACK TO IT Shared medication data used to be read once when the screen opened and then held, so leaving it open showed figures that quietly stopped changing. It now re-reads whenever the app returns to the front. THE WATCH UPDATES WHEN EITHER APP IS OPENED Opening RememRx on your iPhone now sends fresh data to your Apple Watch, and opening the watch app asks your iPhone for it. Previously both sides only exchanged data when something happened to change, so a watch showing an out-of-date day had no way to correct itself.
