10 Day Reminder System The Colonoscopy Helper is the first smartphone app that provides a complete, step-by-step multi-media guidance for colonoscopy preparation. There are 13 reminders, spread over 10 days including reminders before and after the procedure. It navigates colonoscopy preparation with GPS-like precision with graphic illustrations, texts, and audio directions to ensure that the bowel prep is done just right. It also reminds important medication(s) that may need to be adjusted, held, and resumed at appropriate time and interval. Finally, it alerts important symptoms following colonoscopy that may require a prompt medical attention. Colonoscopy Helper is really a very helpful and essential companion to having colonoscopy examination. Colonoscopy is an examination that enables a careful evaluation of the lining of the colon (large intestine) for abnormalities. It is performed by inserting a colonoscope which is made with a flexible tube with a camera at the end. During colonoscopy, this instrument is inserted into your bottom and slowly advanced inside the colon. It is a test commonly utilized as a diagnostic tool in colon cancer screening. In addition to diagnosing colon cancer, colonoscopy is often used to evaluate gastrointestinal bleeding (GI bleeding), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease.

Most eye medicines prescribed by your doctor last only 30 days after opening. Any remaining solution in the bottle after this period needs to be discarded, after which a fresh bottle needs to be opened if treatment is intended to be continued by the doctor. Many patients who have been prescribed eye medicines tend to forget the date of opening/closing and therefore fail to discard the eye drop bottle on time. This potentially puts their eyes at risk and can lead to further problems. To make things easier we have developed the OpenRx Timer app which is a simple yet smart reminder mobile application to help patients know exactly when to discard their opened eye medicines. This innovative app can record the opening date of the eye medicine and remind patients when to discard them. Downloading the OpenRx Timer app on your smartphone would give the following benefits: - No need to remember the date of opening of your prescribed eye medicines. - Timely notifications of when to discard any opened eye medicines. - User-friendly app that can set reminders easily in a matter of seconds and with just a few clicks.
