DoseBeacon: Pill Reminder

DoseBeacon is a pill reminder and family medication tracker for aging parents and the people who help them. Large-text reminders for the person taking medication, plus a shared record of reported doses for approved caregivers.

SIMPLE, SENIOR-FRIENDLY REMINDERS
Senior Mode shows one large, high-contrast card at a time with four clear choices: LOG AS TAKEN, LATER, NOT SURE and I NEED HELP. Read-aloud, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver are supported. Reminders are scheduled on the device, so they work without internet. Senior Mode never shows ads or purchase screens.

ONE MEDICATION LIST
Keep prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements in one place. Scan a pharmacy label to create a draft with on-device text recognition, then check every field before any reminder turns on. Archive medicines without losing their history.

FAMILY CARE CIRCLE
Invite siblings, a spouse or a home caregiver. A circle code only sends a join request: you approve it, choose a role (manager, dose-logging helper or read-only family) and can revoke any device. When phones are online, reported doses are shared with approved members. Every screen shows when it last updated.

DOSE HANDSHAKE
Tap "I'm handling this" so others know who is on it. A claim is never shown as a dose given. If two people report the same dose, it's flagged "Needs review" instead of being overwritten.

CLEAR HISTORY
Every report keeps who made it, on which device and when. A dose nobody has reported is shown as "Not confirmed yet", never "missed". Corrections add to the history; nothing is silently erased.

BEACON QUESTS
Light up a lighthouse by getting organized: add medications, choose a helper, review the emergency card, save pharmacy details and preview a report. Sparkles, soft sounds and level-up moments make setup feel good. Quests reward honest records, including "Not sure" and asking for help. No streaks, nothing to lose, and never a nudge to take more medication.

REFILLS, REPORTS AND EMERGENCY CARD
Track medication on hand and refill dates with clearly labelled estimates. Export a 7, 30 or 90-day PDF for doctor visits, and keep a printable emergency medication card with allergies, conditions and contacts.
