SimpleRX is a medication tracker built by a paramedic who saw firsthand what happens when patients can't remember their medications. It's designed to be simple enough for anyone to use, and detailed enough to matter when it counts. For patients: Add your prescriptions in seconds by typing the name or scanning the barcode on your pill bottle. SimpleRX looks up what the medication is for and sets your daily reminders automatically. When you're running low, it reminds you to refill before you run out. For caregivers: Stay connected to the people you care for. Get notified when they take a dose, miss one, or need a refill. View their medications, adherence history, and emergency information — all from your own phone. Safety features built in: SimpleRX checks for drug interactions every time you add a new medication and explains them in plain English. It tells you what side effects to expect when starting something new, and alerts opioid patients about Narcan and where to get it free. Emergency ready: Build a complete Medical ID card with your conditions, allergies, blood type, DNR status, and emergency contacts. Generate a printable EMS Quick Reference Card that first responders can read at a glance, designed by a paramedic for patients. What makes SimpleRX different: Large buttons and clear text designed for elderly users Speaks your medication name out loud when it's time to take it No complicated setup, works in minutes Available in English and Spanish Caregiver access is always free One simple price, no subscription ever
