MedRemind

A medication app for older Czech patients. It nudges them when it is time to take a dose, they confirm with one tap, and their clinic can see who is keeping up and who needs a call. Works on any phone, with no install and no password.

The Challenge

Older patients forget their medication, and the clinic usually finds out too late, at the next visit. Most reminder apps are built for young, confident phone users: small text, a long sign-up, a download from the app store. For someone in their seventies with tired eyes, that is a dead end. And the clinic was flying blind on who was actually taking their pills. We wanted something a 75-year-old could use without help, plus a view a nurse could glance at to know who to phone.

Our Solution

• Kept the product to one job: remind the patient, let them confirm in a tap, and show the clinic who is slipping. Everything else waited.
• Made it a web app you do not install. It opens in the browser, works offline, and can be pinned to the home screen like a normal app.
• Activation is a scan, not a sign-up. The clinic gives the patient a printed QR card; they scan it, confirm, and they are in. No password to remember.
• Designed it for older eyes and hands first: large text, big buttons, and status shown in words and an icon, not just colour.
• Gave the clinic a simple dashboard that sorts patients by who is falling behind, so staff know who to call.
• Reminders arrive through the phone's own notifications, with a text message as backup so nobody misses a dose over a flaky connection.
• Thought about privacy from the start: sensitive details stay off the lock screen and personal IDs are protected.
