Over 40% of adults aged 65 and older are taking five or more medications a day.

Remembering when to take which pill takes its toll, and accidentally missing a dose or taking one at the wrong time can cause adverse drug reactions, hospitalizations, and ER visits, leading to an estimated $1.3 billion in avoidable U.S. medical expenses each year.

divvyDOSE partnered with us to improve the lives and health of patients who take multiple meds, giving them and their caregivers peace of mind.

A full-service online pharmacy–and more.

Not only does divvyDOSE fill prescriptions, it sorts them into pill packs marked with the day and time of each dose, and then ships these right to the patient’s door at no extra cost.

Now patients and caregivers don’t have to keep track of medication schedules or take the time to sort their own pills ahead of time.

Never forget a dose.

divvyDOSE’s mobile app reminder system lets patients know when it’s time to open a pill pack and take what’s inside.

Medication adherence tracking.

Skipping or doubling up on doses is dangerous: caregivers or patients can now check in advance to see if a dose was marked taken or not.

Mentally offload not just prescriptions, but vitamins and OTC drugs as well.

divvyDOSE also offers patients a marketplace where they can purchase everything from Aspirin to fish oil, which is then added to their pill packs.

Control who has access to what data.

Patients and their caregivers can add and remove other caregivers and set permissions for them using the app.

Mobile service can be fickle; divvyDOSE’s notifications are not.

Pill schedules and information on whether a dose has been taken are stored locally on the patient’s phone, and then synced with their online account whenever their phone connects back to service. This means patients can access their schedules and dose records regardless of whether they are connected to the internet at that moment.

Refills and shipments at a glance.

The calendar lets patients know when a prescription is next set to refill, and when they can expect a new shipment.

Internal systems: integrating all of divvyDOSE’s moving parts.

We developed internal software for divvyDOSE that integrates with their legacy pharmacy software, personal health information storage systems, and a pill packaging machine. We also built a custom labeling, shipping, and billing system.

A website to match.

The site we built highlights both the benefits of switching to divvyDOSE’s pharmacy and the friendly, personalized care they offer.
