TCC Stroke
Read full descriptionHide full description
The TeleClinical Care - Stroke (TCC-Stroke) app is for use by patients enrolled in the TCC-Stroke research study. This study has been funded by NSW Health and is sponsored by the University of NSW. The TCC-Stroke app is designed to support patients who have recently been admitted with a stroke, or a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA). It allows for the delivery of educational messages, the monitoring of physiological parameters (such as heart rate/rhythm and blood pressure) by a team of hospital-based clinicians. The app also assists with medication adherence and provides a virtual stroke rehabilitation exercise programme. The objective of the app is to educate and empower patients living with cerebrovascular disease to ensure they keep well and out of hospital. This app integrates with the Apple Health app to read your steps information. Disclaimer: Seek your doctor's advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions

“When did I last give them medicine?” “What was their temperature an hour ago?” Medication Timer began with a middle-of-the-night fever — but households also need everyday schedules and vitals in one trusted place. Coordinate scheduled dose routines, as-needed medication timers, temperature history, and health readings (blood pressure, glucose, SpO₂, INR, and more), with optional Family Care so every caregiver sees the same picture. What you can do - Family profiles: Track every family member in one place. - Scheduled dose routines: Daily, weekly, or hourly patterns with reminders, so planned doses appear on Today alongside everything else happening that day. - Care: When illness strikes, track the whole episode in one place. As-needed timers space medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen so you can be confident you are not under- or over-dosing, while you log temperatures, symptoms, and health notes. Run short medication courses like antibiotics as part of the same care period. - Health readings & vitals: Track INR, blood pressure, resting heart rate, SpO₂, respiratory rate, weight, and blood glucose (mg/dL or mmol/L). Set targets, add reminders, and see everything on Today. - Today: One daily view that combines routines, as-needed timers, temperatures, and vitals for each family member — no switching between siloed screens. - Home screen widgets: Next Up shows the most urgent household dose (routine or care) with Take and Snooze on medium size. Active Timers shows running as-needed countdowns with Log dose when safe. - Lock screen & Live Activities: Add compact Active Timers lock screen widgets, or turn on Native active timers in Settings for a full-width Live Activity banner and Dynamic Island countdown while a timer is waiting. - Apple Watch (experimental): A companion watch app shows Today progress, the next scheduled dose, active care, PRN timers, and Family Care quick timers — with Take, Snooze, and Log dose relayed through your iPhone. iPhone notifications can forward to the watch with action buttons. This is an early release: keep your iPhone nearby and signed in; the watch does not connect to your account on its own. - Quick actions (Family Care): Log doses and readings in one tap from Today. - Family reports (Family Care): Clear summaries over any period — for your records, other caregivers, or your doctor. Free vs Family Care - Free: Unlimited family members, medications, as-needed timers, and temperature & symptom logging, with Today showing the last three days in full detail. Free features are intended to stay free for the life of the product. - Family Care (subscription): Adds shared caregiver coordination, unlimited history on Today, one-tap quick actions, health trends, family reports, quick timers on Apple Watch, and every new family feature as it ships. Priced annually, shown in your local currency at purchase. Accessibility - Large mode (works especially well on tablets) for low-vision users - High contrast mode to reduce visual noise in the interface - Siri integration for hands-free dose and temperature logging Privacy & terms - Terms & Conditions: https://www.medicationtimer.com/terms-conditions - Privacy Policy: https://www.medicationtimer.com/privacy-policy Subscription billing Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TCC Stroke at none against Medication Timer's 1. TCC Stroke also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.4). Medication Timer's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
