MEDICATION APP FOR AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES & CARERSBest Medication Reminder App for Elderly Parents in Australia
Managing Mum or Dad's medications?
Create a separate profile and keep their reminders, scripts and repeats clearly separated from your own.
Who are you organising medications for?
One separate profile for Mum. Nothing mixed with your own medications.
Does this sound familiar?
Many Australian families are managing the same situations.
Mum takes medications prescribed by several different doctors
Every medicine has a different schedule, repeat count and refill date. MediRemind keeps them all in one profile with separate reminders.
Dad cannot find the SMS containing his eScript
You reach the pharmacy counter and have to search through months of old messages. MediRemind saves the eScript so you can pull it up immediately.
You collect their prescriptions for them
You need to know what is running low before making another trip to the pharmacy or GP. MediRemind shows the remaining repeat count for each medication.
You live across town, or in another city
You want one clear place to organise their medications, scripts and repeats from your own phone. Reminders are received on the phone where the profile is set up.
Make medication management easier
The right app makes medication information easier to organise and helps families stay aware of reminders and repeats.
Know when medication may run low
Receive alerts before the recorded repeats are exhausted, so you have time to arrange a new prescription.
Find prescriptions when you need them
Keep eScripts and paper-prescription records together in one place, available at the pharmacy counter.
Keep every family member separate
Create a separate profile for each family member for yourself, Mum, Dad or a partner. Each family member has their own schedule and reminders.
Access saved information offline
Medication details and saved script information are stored on your device, no internet connection needed.
What older Australians need from a medication reminder
When several medicines have different instructions, a calm and readable routine helps both the person taking them and the family member supporting them.
Simple, uncluttered interface
Older Australians and family carers should be able to find the next reminder without technical expertise. Large, readable text and straightforward navigation make the routine easier to follow.
Clear reminders for different schedules
Morning tablets, evening medicines and weekly treatments can each have their own schedule. Keeping those routines separate makes it easier to organise several medications in one profile.
Family support when it is needed
A family member can create and manage a profile from their own phone, including when an older person is less comfortable using apps or does not have a smartphone.

Takes a few minutes. A family member can set this up on their own phone.

Now available for yours.
MediRemind was built by a Perth father and his son, a medical student, after seeing their wife and mother struggle to stay on top of her medications, scripts and repeats. It was built to help other Australian families manage the same responsibility with less stress.
Create Mum or Dad's Profile →Medication information stays on your device
Many older Australians, and their families, are rightly cautious about health apps that store sensitive information or share it with third parties. MediRemind stores medication information on your phone. There are no advertisements in the app and medication data is not shared with third parties.
The app also works without an internet connection. Saved medication details and prescription information are accessible anywhere, in a regional town, at a hospital, or wherever you need them.
Frequently asked questions
Can I manage my elderly parent's medications from my own phone?
Yes. Create a separate profile for Mum or Dad on your phone and receive reminders to help you manage their medications, scripts and repeats. You do not need to install anything on their phone.
My mother takes 8 different medications. Can the app handle that?
Yes. You can add multiple medications to each profile and give each medication its own reminder schedule, morning tablets separate from evening tablets, weekly medications separate from daily ones.
What if she takes her medications at different times throughout the day?
Each medication gets its own independent reminder schedule. A morning blood pressure tablet, a lunchtime antibiotic, and an evening sleeping tablet can all be tracked and reminded separately.
Is the app suitable for someone who isn't tech-savvy?
MediRemind Scripts is designed to be straightforward. The reminders arrive as phone notifications. For elderly users who prefer not to use an app themselves, a family member can manage the profile on their behalf.
How does it handle PBS prescriptions and repeats?
You can scan eScript QR codes directly into MediRemind, or photograph a paper prescription for your own reference. The app records how many repeats are left and can alert you when supplies are getting low, giving you time to arrange a new prescription before running out.
Do reminders repeat until acknowledged?
MediRemind sends follow-up alerts until the reminder is acknowledged, subject to the phone's notification settings. If notifications are disabled, the phone is on silent, or battery optimisation is active, reminders may not arrive as expected.
Every Script. Every Repeat.
One Quiet App.
Keep Mum or Dad's medication reminders, prescriptions and remaining repeats organised in their own separate profile.
