APPOINTMENT booking service HealthEngine has launched a new Medication Manager app, along with a partnership with non-profit group ScriptWise.
The app is an enhancement to the existing HealthEngine product, and allows patients to monitor their daily medicine, get reminders when to take their prescribed doses and be prompted to re-book appointments with doctors before their prescription runs out.
HealthEngine is inviting GP practices to promote the Medication Manager to their patients, with the "ground-breaking technology" already being used by about 16,000 people nationally.
The company said the app provides better outcomes through promoting medication adherence and education, and makes patients more proactive by being prompted to book appointments early.
Patients can also access medication information and dosages "exactly as prescribed by their doctor," with Medication Manager integrating with the Best Practice and PracSoft systems.
