Medisafe is one of the best-known pill reminder apps. If you are comparing options, especially to help an elderly parent, here is what Dosora does differently.
Most medication reminder apps are designed for the person taking the pills. Dosora is designed for two people: the parent who gets the reminders, and the family member who wants to know everything is fine.
| What you get | Dosora Free | Dosora Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Medication reminders | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Large text, senior-friendly design | Yes | Yes |
| Photo of each pill | Yes | Yes |
| Missed-dose alerts to a family member | No | Yes |
| Sync between parent's and caregiver's phones | No | Yes |
| Adherence history and refill reminders | No | Yes |
Dosora Pro is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US. Prices can vary by country.
Whichever app you choose, check that it has no low cap on the number of medicines, that reminders are easy to read for older eyes, that a missed dose is clearly flagged, and that a family member can be alerted. Check each app's current pricing on its store page, as plans change.
Add each medicine with its dose, times and a photo. It takes about two minutes. Then invite your family member to your care circle from Settings.
