Remind patients to take medication and alert caregivers on WhatsApp

Patients get WhatsApp medication reminders throughout the day, and caregivers are alerted automatically if a dose is missed.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Exactly one path is taken; repeats patient snoozes dose; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

You worry about a loved one or patient forgetting a dose, but you can't call to check in every single time. Missed doses often go unnoticed until it becomes a bigger problem.

Who it fits

Caregivers, home health services, or clinics managing patients on regular medication schedules.

How it works

  1. At each scheduled time, WhatsApp sends the patient a medication reminder
  2. The patient replies to confirm, skip, or snooze the dose
  3. Replies are logged automatically to track adherence
  4. If there's no response within a couple of hours, the caregiver gets a WhatsApp alert
  5. Caregivers can request a full adherence report anytime
What you get

Missed doses your caregivers hear about fast

You get automatic WhatsApp medication reminders for patients with an instant alert to caregivers if a dose is missed.

What you get

A logged medication adherence record, timely reminders, and caregiver alerts for missed doses.

What you need

A WATI WhatsApp account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
