## What is Transplant Hero?

Transplant Hero is a beautifully created app that helps transplant patients deal with the seemingly impossible task of taking their immunosuppression medications in a timely fashion. It is the unique medication reminder where patients can invite family, friends and clinicians to participate in their care.

As a Transplant Hero Guardian you will be privy to your Hero’s medication regimen and get alerts for taken or missed doses.

As a Clinician you will have a chance to see your Heroes’ missed doses as well as schedule the appointments for them.

Recognizing that no person is an island, this closed network is a tool to increase communication between Transplant Heroes, their Guardians and Clinicians so as to maximize better outcomes post-operatively through medication adherence.

Transplant Hero clears up the confusion by focusing on some of the most important medications and timing them appropriately — so you don’t have to. More importantly, you will have total control over the timing of the medication notification. In this application you will find the list of the most common transplant and prophylactic medications, there is also the option to add any medication to your list.

As you know, serious problems can arise due to medication non-adherence. For this reason if you have a transplant, you need Transplant Hero — because everyone needs a helping hand!

Main features for transplant patients:
1. Add any medication you need (select from the list or add the custom one). Feel free to specify dosage in milliliters, milligrams or even the pills parts!
2. Easily share the list of your medications with anyone you want.
3. Use recommended schedule or adjust timing to your personal lifestyle.
4. Quickly check your day schedule and details of each dose time.
5. Get notifications when it is time to take your pills.
6. Schedule your hospital appointments by yourself of invite your clinicians to do this for you.
7. Earn cool awards for taking medications on time.
8. Invite family, friends or your clinicians and share your medication regimen with them.

Main features for caregivers:
1. Join as a caregiver to get alerts for taken or missed doses. 
2. See the up-to-date medication schedule any time.

Main features for clinicians:
1. Join as a clinician to see the medication adherence stats of your patients. 
2. Schedule the appointments.

### 1/5 — New changes

*2024-03-19*

I have used this app since 2015 and it’s been such a great help I have appreciated it . Today I simply get a new phone and now I’m unable to sign into account . Sad to loose a customer over such a simple thing but guess I’ll be looking for another app as getting our meds on time is an important part of our lives .

### 4/5 — I like it

*2024-01-27*

Over all this is a good app for the reasons intended. However it feels like a kids happy app with the sounds, cartoons and cheers. This would be perfect for a child who has had a transplant. In the it does the job it was designed for. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Wish this app had been updated…

*2023-08-29*

I decided to switch to another medication tracking app after having major issues signing into my account when I switched phones. Since my transplant 3.5 years ago, I’ve been using this app to try to keep track of my meds and exactly when to take them. There were always a few issues however:

1) that there was never an option to add notes or an option that a med was taken late or simply not marked off on my phone. You miss that hour window to mark in transplant hero that you took your meds when you needed to? Too bad! It will show up as being missed altogether. This also made it impossible to collect any ‘points’ or stars since I observe Shabbat, aka the Jewish sabbath. 

2) technical issues with changing your regimen. Certain meds couldn’t be added to the same time period as other medications, even if your medical team approved it. Other medications couldn’t be edited or added. 

3) there are situations where medication needs to be changed for just a few doses or times changed due to travel, medical tests, etc. Anyone using this app is using this app to help with the medications and it’s only one aspect of managing your health after getting an organ transplant, so why have these little glitches or barriers in place for patients? 

Like many other transplant patients, I manage other chronic health conditions aside from being a transplant recipient. I was never able to add my full regimen as I take it and that annoyed me, along with some of the kitschy ‘advice’ that would pop up when I marked them down as being taken.

### 4/5 — No alarm

*2023-01-03*

Alarm works sometimes! And sometimes it doesn’t work!

### 2/5 — Not sure anymore

*2022-03-26, version 2.1.1*

I loved the app thought it was really cute .. but when I log in my pills it tells me I didn’t take them .. and I’m not sure I appreciate an app telling me I will lose my transplant if I don’t take my pills (which I do every single day) honestly I would really change that… create nicer sayings please!

### 3/5 — Transplant hero

*2021-06-09, version 1.12*

Still has some problems but a good start on a useful app. I still get the reminders/appointments crashing also having to tuck  off the meds is not always possible so it registers as not having taken the medications - however I would not be able to cope as well without this so just needs some fixes to be perfect.

### 3/5 — Please fix the login

*2020-04-29*

This was a great simple app, everything worked seemlessly - but I just switched phones and now I can’t login at all. Please could this be looked at urgently. That would be really appreciated.

### 3/5 — Could be 5 star with couple of fixes

*2020-03-22*

Need to be able to change alert tone so a missed dose could sound a load alert. Also need to be able to adjust dose to a 2 hour late instead of one hour or make it customizable in settings. Would pay for themselves upgrades

### 3/5 — Going with a better app...

*2020-03-18, version 1.11*

I honestly really loved this app and have used it for months. I got tired of being told that I was putting my life at risk if I didn't mark off having taken my meds on the app. Yes, sometimes I'm not at my phone but I take my meds every time... Not having a way to mark that off was pretty annoying. Yes, I get it's an accountability thing but there should a way to mark the difference between late dose, missed dose or one you took when your phone wasn't next to you (I can't have my phone on me at work.)

Also, like most transplant recipients I take meds for other conditions. Some of them require meds twice a week and another one requires them only half the month. Not having those options meant I couldn't add them to my list of meds.

### 1/5 — It would be even more helpful if It would let me in...

*2019-11-20*

Gave up on app after many unsuccessful attempts to login.  Is there anything else that I can try?
