Finally taking my medication regularly
Finally taking my medication regularly
I'm sure I'm not the only person who struggles with their medication. I will stare at my bottle for hours trying to remember if I took it. Since I use a long release medication my day is shot if I don't take it before 10am.
I have a smart things instance in my home for automation and put an nfc tag on my bottle cap. If I don't scan it by 8am home assistant reminds to take my medication me every half hour until 10:30am.
The sweet part is you don't even need home assistant. You could setup a similar task using nfc tasks or a similar phone app. Plus it's a cheap way to remember. You can by NFC tags at dirt cheap prices!
tl;dr I'm using an nfc task to silence reminders on my phone

I have the same issue, I think it must be an ADHD thing. I will literally take my medication, and a minute later look at the bottle wondering if I took it because I have no memory of taking it as I was distracted. Maybe I'll try this NFC thing out.
It's been a life changer for me. The hard part is remembering to scan, but it works better for me than a pill box. Hope it helps you too!
