![]() In fact many people who have diagnoses of ADHD or the like prefer the pill separator box as they then get the physical isolation of the pills and the ability to physically see that the medications have been taken rather than relying on the more ephemeral logging. Many people stick the tags to a card that they then stick on the inside of a bathroom cabinet, or to the exterior or a large pill separator box. I’m obviously guessing a bit here, but I have a concern that if you are sticking NFC tags (I’m assuming you intend to use standard stickers rather than stick a key fob style tag to a bottle ) to medication packaging that you might have the most reusable approach. In either case, the packaging tends to be disposed of (landfill/recycling) … potentially taking an NFC tag with it. In fact in the UK, at least half of prescription medication comes in blister packs and not bottles. But not every medication bottle is the right size or has a suitable surface. They are also usually a few centimetres in diameter and to be stuck flat. While they are relatively inexpensive, they are often single use when you stick them onto something unless you get creative with velcro or the like. Where do you want to store this information, and do you just want to store the last entry (you note “referencing the last dose” is what you need - but is that what you want ideally or is what you would accept?), or do you want to have ongoing logs? There are many options about where and how, and given that this is related to your own personal medication, you might want to give that some thought if you haven’t already.Īnd, back to NFC tags. You note that you want to be able to log some information about taking the medication based around which medication (possibly including the actual dose?), and when. Now we need to dig into a couple of questions on the shortcuts … before I come back to the NFC tags From your description of your current situation and goals, I would strongly recommend that you at least take a look at the app on the App Store and see if it would deliver enough benefit for you to consider using. This is because it can be configured to give more persistent and insistent reminders than the standard Reminders app. Many people who need a nag for something, often times that being medications, use Due. One thing I might suggest is that you look at the app Due. You can associate an NFC tag with the running of a shortcut, so let’s put that to one side … for now.įor recurring reminders, you don’t need to use Shortcuts at all. Mainly, logging doses and referencing the last dose are what I need.Īny help on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I’ve looked through some of the medication shortcuts out there, and I haven’t found one that incorporates NFC, or is just too much for what I need. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, so I’m trying to develope some more efficient and productive habits for dealing with it. I’ve created some small shortcut automations, but this one is beyond my knowledge level. I’m really new to Shortcuts, but fascinated by the possibilities it can provide for me. If I can’t remember if I took it, a tap on the bottle will present me with a notification, some like, ‘Dosage Taken: Today 8:00 pm.’.With NFC tags on each bottle, and when tapped logs date/time.Have recurring reminder for each medication at their prescribed time(s).I’d like to incorporate reminders, shortcuts and ToolBox Pro using NFC. One I take twice daily and the other two I take at night. I’m trying to find a solution that reminds me to take my daily medication and also logs that it’s been done with a timestamp.
