About IRWAA, LLC

Problem Overview Medication non-compliance represents a major obstacle to the effective delivery of health care.

The problem is significant in both developed and developing countries (only about 50% of patients with chronic diseases living in developed countries follow treatment recommendations)

Problem goes worse in developing countries (poorer "health literacy" and tough economic conditions)

Problem Overview (Cont’d) Reasons for non-compliance are multi

factorial.

One of the main factors is inability to keep

regular medications timing.

Hence, a medication reminder is needed.

Another problem: Frequent travelers need to

keep their medical info with them on the

go. They need mobile prescriptions.

Current Solutions Current medication reminders are not convenient:

electronic pillboxes: not portable, and need dedicating time to well organize and place the pills

medical watches: hard to adjust and looks ugly!

Other online/offline solutions: expensive and even not widely available (especially for poor people)

Here, medica provides a better solution.

Approach of medica

medica is a multimedia prescription manager and medication reminder.

Users can store and manage as many prescriptions as they wish with multiple medications each (it is time for mobile prescriptions; no more paper)

Users can also record audio instructions given by doctors and attach the audio to the prescription (very useful to recall instructions recorded from doctor’s mouth)

Approach of medica (Cont’d) Users can add unlimited number of medications to the prescription and set flexible medication reminders to go off on which times at which days.

Moreover, users can even capture a photo of the medication to exactly take the right medication at the right time.

Medication reminders are customizable in tones, repetitions, vibrations, flashes, …
