Care: Family Tracking When Illness Strikes

When unexpected health situations strike and your family is suffering through a tough cold, flu, or infection, Care brings order to the chaos. It unifies as-needed medication, temperature and symptom tracking along with strict antibiotic schedules into a single, focused tracking session; giving you total clarity when you need it most.
Focused Illness Sessions: Track acute episodes like the flu or a cold from the first symptom until they are back on their feet.
Short-Course Med Schedules: Stay on top of strict timelines for critical antibiotics and temporary, as-needed doses.
Correlated Symptom & Fever Timelines: Directly see how temperature readings and symptoms respond to medication over time.
Clear Recovery Tracking: Keep a dedicated, clean timeline that neatly closes out once your family member is feeling better.

As-needed medication tracking

Keeping a household healthy is hard enough without the "brain fog" of being sick yourself. Our as-needed trackers and medication timers eliminate the guesswork by logging every dose in one shared place. A feature of the Care module, it handles the mental math of 24-hour limits and safe intervals, so you can focus on recovery instead of post-it notes.

Medical summary and reports

When you're at the doctor's office, "I think they had a fever on Tuesday" isn't as helpful as a precise data log. This feature transforms your daily tracking into comprehensive health reports that map out everything from routine medication adherence, showing exactly what was taken versus what was missed, to as-needed doses and symptom flares. By consolidating vitals like temperature and blood pressure into clear summaries, you provide clinicians with a complete, accurate picture of your family's health history.

These reports eliminate the stress of trying to recall specific details during a consultation, especially after a long week of caregiving. Whether you're managing chronic conditions with strict daily routines or navigating an acute viral illness, you can generate and share professional summaries in seconds. It ensures that medical practitioners have the high-fidelity data they need to make informed decisions, moving the conversation from vague recollections to actionable medical insights.

The app I always wanted
"This is great for tracking the family medication. No alarm to potentially wake you when asleep but a big green or red square to say yes or no for more medicine. Just what a sick parent needs when the whole family is ill."

Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more about Medication Timer? Here's our most common questions and their answers
Medication Timer is a family & caregiver-focused app for household medication and health management in one app. It helps you track scheduled dose routines (daily, weekly, or hourly-style patterns), as-needed medication timers with safe spacing between doses, body temperature logs, and health readings such as blood pressure, blood glucose, SpO, INR, weight, and more; organized per family member on a unified Today screen.

Optional Family subscription adds multi-caregiver coordination, unlimited calendar history, trends and reports, and other subscriber tools; a free tier stays useful for many day-to-day needs.

It does not replace medical advice; always confirm doses and care plans with your clinician or pharmacist.
The Family Care subscription is built around coordinating care for a household. Subscribers typically get:
Shared family coordination - Multiple caregivers working from the same family data with appropriate sharing.
Unified Today view - One daily hub for routines, doses, and health readings.
Quick one-tap actions - Shortcuts to log doses and start flows faster from Today.
Health tracking and trends - Temperatures and other readings with richer history and charts.
Family reports - In-depth summaries per family member over selectable periods.
Future family features - Access to new coordination tools as they ship.
It depends on your plan:
Free: Your family can have up to three combined scheduled dose routines and enabled health reading types (counted together, i.e. 3 per person). There is also a household maximum of twelve such across all members so limits cannot be bypassed by adding many profiles. When a limit is reached, the app prompts you to subscribe for unlimited capacity.
Family Care: No practical cap from these rules; add the routines and readings your care plan needs.
Today is your daily dashboard: what's scheduled, what's due, and what you've already logged for the calendar day you select. You can move between days using the horizontal date strip at the top.

It ties together medication routines, doses you've recorded, and health readings like INR or blood pressure in one place.
With the Family Care subscription that includes shared family coordination, multiple caregivers can work against the same underlying family data when they're invited or linked appropriately. Each person still uses their own login.

This makes Medication Timer perfect for co-parenting situations so both parents have visibility of medication schedules, alerts and notifications and code details.

Features like inviting a co-parent or sharing updates may appear only for subscribers
