I’d like to see MediSafe integration.

There is also https://pillsy.com/ although it is preorder atm.

Timer + Alarm would be great, although IMO that functionality might not really be in scope of Exist. I wouldn’t complain if it were included, but as far as Exist is concerned, it seems like the important part would be tracking (a) when and how often you’re supposed to take each medication, and (b) when and how often you actually took each medication, to allow some different kinds of useful correlations between mood, activity, etc.

Also Pillsy integration would be great, if they open an API when it’s released, because that data could automatically feed Exist without any manual data entry. Although that Pillsy integration should probably be a separate request, and probably once more is known about an API.

I imagine we’d track when and what medication was taken, like Ben mentioned. Again, if per day is fine-grained enough for you, this is one where the upcoming custom tracking would work perfectly (and some testers already use it this way), just adding tags for medications on days they’re taken.

This might also be great for testing out the effects of different supplements. So I would suggest to change the name to:

Medication + supplement tracking

In the meantime this could be manually tracked using this: https://exist.io/blog/introducing-custom-tracking/

The Calm app would be perfect

Matthew, you’re probably looking for this suggestion: https://changemap.co/hellocode/exist/task/1514-calm/

http://www.logsit.com/ can be used for medication tracking too

Mobile app that I use which has a lot of tracking abilities: https://insighttimer.com/

This suggestion is for medication, like what drugs you took, not meditation. It’s unfortunate that the words are so similar!

I would use this feature to track daily supplements like vitamins and have a reminder to take them. I would like the ability to add as many as I want, with the option to split the time of day. For example - antibiotics are sometimes 2x a day - vitamins are sometimes 3x a day. I would like the ability to set what i need to take, at what interval (1x/day , 3x/day) , for how long (set period .e.g 2 weeks or 14 days course - or ongoing, like vitamins) , and a reminder as well.

+1 for Round

I vote for a custom development for medication tracking. It would probably take more time but since there is a lot of random apps with and without API, making a unique app inside Exist it will be great.

Round health

There is an official way to add new suggestions to our roadmap, but since people keep mentioning Round here, I’ve added one for it to make it official. It’s not possible to integrate, and I’m not sure it’s even in active development based on their blog and twitter account.

What about PillPack. Yes it was just bought by Amazon and also has a pharmacy arm but they also have an iOS app that you can track the medications you take but also track when you take them.

+1 for integration with PillPack, in whatever way that could work out

Medisafe vote here

+1 for MediSafe: it is a great platform, plus searching “medisafe API” on Google throws up a bunch of links mentioning MediSafe integration with Human API/being QuantifiedSelf-focused and such, so they are likely to have an accessible API (though don’t take my word for it, I’m no programmer).

I can’t find any evidence that there’s an API available for MediSafe, Round, PillPack, or Pillsy, unfortunately.

It looks like there is a Pillsy web API, but it may not be fully public. Information here: https://www.pillsy.com/web-based-api

I would also love to see MediSafe interaction, shame about the API :(

The app my therapy supports maccs. Not sure that’s a solution though

This would be very cool, I personally use round but would be willing to switch for integration here. Seems like if you’re someone who takes medication the correlations there would be insanely helpful to know. Things like heart rate or mood vs days/quantity taken is more important and stronger than any other correlations for me on exist right now.

I would love to see an integration with another app, or built into exist

Yepppp I’m on two antidepressants, an anti-anxiety med, and an ADHD medication, and I take Vitamin D (Canada) and magnesium (restless legs) and then there’s the occasional missed BC pill.....

With our new manual tracking, you can create an attribute to for a medication and track a daily total.

It would be great if you could import medications from Apple Health on iOS 16.

I concur. This feature came out after this topic was shelved as completed. Would appreciate it as I can input timing & dosage in Apple Health.

Daily total with manual tracking is nice for now, but once days are made more granular with time of day and multiple mood and other ratings allowed per day, I would love that for meds too.

There’s a lot of information that can be stored in https://guavahealth.com/ beyond simply stating if one took a medication or not. Additionally, if one is considering switching to exist, being able to import data is crucial. An integration or at least import/export feature would be greatly appreciated.

Also data from migraine tracking apps such as migraine tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.migrainetracker&hl=en_US&gl=US would be invaluable to combine with activity, medication, nutrition, sleep, etc data to look for triggers and treatments.

Lastly, MyFitnessPal, which I know has been previously mentioned, would be extremely helpful. The integration through Fitbit is not reliable. The nutrition data is very important.

Having all of this data together in one place is very important and could really help identify key medical causes of and effective treatments for different symptoms and conditions.

Thank you for your consideration! Susan

Hey Susan, thanks for your feedback :) Please feel free to vote for individual suggestions like the one for MyFitnessPal, and add a suggestion for anything we don’t already have listed.
