A little more peace of mind when Mom or Dad lives far away. MedGuard helps older adults keep a clear medication routine. They can see reminders on their own iPhone and log a dose in one tap. Invited family members can view the medication records shared through iCloud, even when they live apart. FOR OLDER ADULTS • Large, easy-to-read daily medication view • One-tap dose logging after taking medication • Reminders for scheduled medicines on their device FOR FAMILY • View medication records shared through iCloud • Check medicine details and remaining supply in the app • Look back at a history based on doses the person recorded MORE WAYS TO KEEP A CLEAR RECORD • Review medication reports and export a PDF for a doctor's visit • Record voice notes and convert speech to text when typing is difficult GET STARTED Add medicines and schedules, invite family through iCloud, and record each dose as it is taken. The shared history reflects confirmations entered in the app. MedGuard began with a simple family question: “Did Mom remember her medicine today?” A clear record cannot replace a conversation, but it can make that conversation easier.
