New Year’s resolutions about health tend to focus on eating right, exercising and losing weight. But there’s another important factor contributing to the health of millions of Americans: remembering to take medications as prescribed.
In the U.S., approximately 50 percent of patients with chronic illnesses do not take medication as prescribed – and medication-related hospitalizations, including admissions due to poor medication adherence, cost approximately $100 billion a year!
If you have trouble remembering to take medications as prescribed, or have a family member or loved one who fits that description, there’s a tool that can help: Care4Today™ Mobile Health Manager, a free mobile app and website with new features designed to support and motivate people to stay on schedule with their medications. You can download and use Care4Today™ Mobile Health Manager from the iTunes App Store or Google Play or register on the website.
Join us for a Twitter party tomorrow at 1p ET (noon CT / 10a PT) to learn more about this mobile app and website, exchange tips and ideas about managing family health, and discover two wonderful features from Care4Today™ Mobile Health Manager:
- Care4Family™ alerts you when a family member misses a dose of their medication.
- Care4Charity™ allows users to make a positive difference by selecting a charity to receive donations from Janssen Healthcare Innovation. Donations are triggered each day a user indicates they have taken all of their medications (through May 17, 2014).
