DAILY MEDICATION LOG Keep track of your medications all in one place. You can enter the dosage and frequency of each medication as it was prescribed and record how often you are taking them. You can also modify or discontinue medications and add new ones to track as your medications change during treatment. Now with the ability to query HealthKit for Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure, Perfusion Index, Heart Rate, and Blood Glucose.

CHARTS Handy charts provide easy-to-read displays that help you monitor your symptoms and medications over time.

You can also track your medications to see how often you have used each one and how many doses you have been taking. Show these charts to your doctors to help them understand how you are doing every day and how well your medications are working. You can also show them to your caregivers so they can help you take care of yourself.
