Medicare

Inspiration

Millions of people forget to take their medicines on time, especially elderly patients and individuals managing multiple medications. Missing doses can reduce treatment effectiveness and lead to health complications. We wanted to create a simple, user-friendly solution that helps people stay consistent with their prescribed medication schedules.

What it does

MediCare is a smart medication reminder and adherence tracking web application.

It allows users to:

Add medicines with dosage and reminder time
Receive audio (beep) reminders when it's time to take medicine
Mark medicines as Taken
Snooze reminders
Track medication adherence
Monitor remaining medicine stock
Receive low-stock alerts
Store all data locally using browser localStorage

How we built it

The application was built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The interface is fully responsive and works on both desktop and mobile devices. JavaScript manages reminder scheduling, local storage, medication tracking, and alarm functionality using the Web Audio API.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was implementing a reliable reminder system that continuously checks medication schedules and triggers audio notifications at the correct time. We also handled browser audio restrictions and ensured reminders continue working smoothly while maintaining a clean and responsive user interface.
