I built PillSeal after repeatedly forgetting whether I had taken my medication
Hi everyone,
Sometimes I forget to take my medication. Other times, I cannot remember whether I have already taken it.
I am Collin, a solo developer. Due to my health conditions, I have to take regular medication. Taking it regularly matters to me, but that does not mean I always remember.
This was a problem in my own life that I wanted to do something about, and that is where PillSeal started. I wanted something to help keep me accountable and give me something to check when I could not remember.
So I built PillSeal around three things:
* Reminders that keep coming until you mark the medication as taken.
* A camera-based visual record of taking the dose that you can look back at. This also made me smile every time I took my dose in front of the camera.
* Medication stock tracking with alerts when you are running low.
I take privacy seriously, so I built it to keep your medication data and camera records on your phone.
I have included a short demo so you can see how the camera check-in works.
If you want to take a look: PillSeal on the App Store.
I am the developer, so I am close to the problem. I would like to understand how other people handle it, including people who are happy with a pill organizer, a checklist, or another system.
For anyone who takes medication regularly: how do you keep track of whether you have actually taken it?
I am also curious whether having a photo to look back at would help, or whether you would prefer to keep things simpler.
