 I use this app to keep track of and give accurate information on my many medications. Also great for when I attend hospital and specialists when they need to know all my meds and dosage. Great functional app.

Information for health professionals

Medicine-related problems in Australia cause around 250,000 hospital admissions and 400,000 emergency department visits every year, but most of this estimated harm is potentially preventable. The MedicineWise app helps people get the most out of their medicines, safely.

The app provides practical support for consumers newly diagnosed with a condition, as well as those taking multiple medicines, and their carers.

  • Allows consumers and carers to keep track of different medicines and doses
  • Improves adherence and reduces the risk of hospital admissions
  • Links to trusted sources of information such as Medicine Finder and healthdirect
  • Helps consumers store health and medicine information in one place; important during an emergency
  • Improves and supports medicine reconciliation and decision-making by improving communication between consumers and health professionals

“As a hospital pharmacist, I’ve found the MedicineWise app invaluable in assisting my patients. It’s fast to set up, easy to use and a reputable source of information I can rely on.

“I’ve found it particularly helpful with surgical patients who are discharged on multiple medicines (multimodal pain relief, often antibiotics, anticoagulants, etc). This is a patient group that is often unused to taking medicines and quite often find it overwhelming. MedicineWise app is an excellent tool, highly recommend.”
