Medication Manager Apps

From Cincinnati Children’s Staff Bulletin: A review of medication manager apps

My take: I have not tried the apps below.  I do think ‘old school’ products like weekly pill boxes can be very useful.

An excerpt:

For some families, medication apps can help them establish a routine of taking medication at the same time each day. For others, the app acts as a reminder every once in a while when the family has a really busy day and may have forgotten otherwise.
