Family Hub (free for users)
Medicine and appointment reminders for a parent who lives at home, shared with their family.
How it works
A family member adds the parent's medicines and the times they are taken. The parent's phone reminds them with a large, clear screen. The parent taps Taken, or Not yet. If a dose is not confirmed in time, the family is told, as long as the parent has agreed to that.
The parent is in control
The app asks the parent, in plain words, what their family can see: whether the family is told about a missed dose, whether the family can see the medicine log, and whether the family can see a daily check-in. Nothing is shared until the parent says yes, and they can change their answers at any time.

There is no subscription and nothing to buy in the app.
Good to know
Family Hub records and reminds. It does not give dose advice, check medicines against each other, or diagnose anything, and it is not a medical device. Medicine details are typed in by your family and are not checked by the app. It is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 111. Reminders and alerts depend on the phone, its settings and its connection, and can be late or not arrive.
