LARGO, FL, July 16, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- RememberPills.com helps people take their pills on time and live healthier.
RememberPills.com, a Tampa area company, has announced a new "take your pill" reminder alert system. The low-cost service reminds customers when to take their pills. It is also used by family members to remind senior citizens or young people to take their medications on time.
Web-based reminder services are a relatively new phenomenon, and RememberPills.com's service adds several new features compared to existing services. First, it is geared towards making it as simple as possible for subscribers to fill out an on-screen form that sets up daily, weekly, or monthly reminders. RememberPills.com's system will then send out reminders to "Take Your Pill" or "Take Your Vitamins". Subscribers can also customize their reminders so that it says, "Take Two of the Blue Pills", or "Don't Forget to Take Your Pill Before Eating".
RememberPills.com also offers two ways of being reminded. One is to receive reminder emails, the other is to receive both reminder emails and text messages sent to a cell phone. Many subscribers find that the text to cell phone service allows them to receive reminders even if they are away from home or work and therefore aren't near a computer. The other advantage of the service over others is the low cost. There are no set-up charges. The email-only service is $3.95 per month, and the email and text service is $4.95 per month. Other reminder services cost as much as $29.95 per month.
Another feature of RememberPills.com is that the service requires only very limited information, something many privacy-conscious consumers appreciate. Beyond supplying email address, or email and cell phone number if using the dual reminder system, subscribers don't have to provide any information. A subscriber can set up a reminder saying, "Take Your Statin", or "Take Your Beta-Blocker". But if they don't want to share medical information, they can simply use completely generic reminders, "Take Your Pills", or code more specific instructions, for example, "Two of the pink pills".
Subscribers quickly realized that one of the best uses of the system is to set up reminders for others. Many people worry that elderly parents are not remembering to take their medication. If parents use a computer or have a cell phone, it can be effective to set up a RememberPills.com account that sends an elderly parent a reminder "Mom, remember to take 2 of the small white pills." It can also be used to remind teenagers on the go to take their medication. In fact, some subscribers have even set up non-medication reminders such as a weekly reminder to "Call Mom" or a daily reminder to a child to "Check your homework assignment."
As medication regimens become more complex, and more and more people are taking multiple medications on different schedules, RememberPills.com fills a growing need for a simple and low-cost email and text message reminder service. For less than $5 a month, and just pennies per reminder, consumers are finding that the service is a cost-effective way to increase adherence to doctors' instructions, and therefore improve health.
As part of a promotion, RememberPills.com is now offering an introductory month of service at no cost, so there is little reason not to try the service out. Payment is by Paypal, one of the most trusted Internet purchasing systems. If you have trouble remembering to take your pills - or if a loved one does - you might want to check out RememberPills.com.
