Do you want a complete overview of your medication at home? Then, start your personalized medication management with Baedia. Most of the time, we lose track of the many medications that find their way into our homes. Some of these medicines need to be taken regularly and over a long period of time (polypharmacy), while others we keep at home to have on hand for specific events (e.g., burns, eye infections, toothaches). With Baedia, you can scan your medications at home using the barcode scanning feature for Switzerland (CH) and the United States (US), or scan the QR code for Germany (DE). The app is fully available in both German and English to ensure you can manage your health in the language you are most comfortable with. What can you expect from Baedia? - Multilingual Support: Switch easily between German and English. - My Cabinet: Register and manage all your medicines in one secure place. - Smart Search: Find medications for CH, DE, and US. - Barcode & QR Scanner: Instantly find authorized medicines via barcode (CH, US, DE) or the official German QR code. - Expiry Alerts: Get notified when an expiry date is approaching to stay organized and safe. - Leaflet Information: Access updated patient information/leaflets directly in the app (available for CH and US). - Medication Schedules: Create a personalized schedule to support your daily routine. - Secure My Meds Sharing: Share your schedule or medicine overview with loved ones, caregivers, or healthcare professionals via secure QR sharing.

To provide our scanning and management services, we process the following: Medication Data: Scanned barcodes and medication names are stored securely to build your virtual cabinet.
