Athnova CareMedicine reminders and refills for parents in India
Morning, afternoon, evening and night reminders on WhatsApp, a count of tablets left, and refills through your parent’s own chemist after you approve the price.
Reminders that fit their day
The morning check-in asks about morning medicines. If your parent also has tablets later in the day, add afternoon, evening or night reminders. Each has two buttons — "Taken" and "Remind me later" — and none of them sets off phone calls or alarms; only the daily check-in does that.
You see adherence, not guesses
The app shows, for each parent, how many days in the week medicines were taken. A "not yet" is shown as not yet, and a day still in progress is not counted against them.
Tablets left
Enter how many tablets your parent has and how many they take each day. The app counts down and warns you, and gently your parent, about a week before they run out.
Refills through their own chemist
- You add the chemist your parent already uses.
- Your parent agrees on WhatsApp that their prescription and address may be shared with that chemist.
- When a refill is due, the chemist receives a private link and enters the price.
- You see the price and approve it.
- The chemist delivers and is paid directly, as they always were.
What your parent sees
At the time you set: "Kamala ji, it is time for your evening medicines." Two buttons: Taken, and Remind me later. If they choose the second, one more reminder follows. There are no phone calls for these reminders and nobody is alerted; they are a nudge, not an alarm.
What the family sees
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Taken | Your parent confirmed the dose |
| Not yet | They said they had not taken it when asked; shown as not yet, not as missed |
| No reply | The reminder was not answered |
| In progress | Today’s doses that are not due yet — never counted against them |
Changing the list
Add, pause or remove a medicine in the app, with its timing. Record only what the doctor has prescribed. The list feeds the reminders, the refill count, the emergency card and the monthly summary, so one change updates all four.
What we do not do
- We do not sell medicines and take no margin on them.
- We do not suggest medicines, brands or doses.
- We never tell a parent to start, stop or change a medicine. That is their doctor’s decision.
