My Medical Companion is for you, if any of the statements below resonate.
- Do you run out of your prescription medication and then panic because your script has expired, and you have to go for a checkup, and all the tests, before the doctor will renew the script?
- When the doctor asks for an update on your health since you last saw him/her, you know you wanted to ask several questions … but you forgot to make a list.
- If your family has split up, do both parents have the medical details of the children?
- Can you remember the vaccinations your children have had and when boosters are required?
- Does your family or care home know what medication you are taking and why?
- Do your family or care home know how to contact your doctor and medical aid?

Whether you have ADHD or not, parenting is hard. Remembering to schedule all those doctor, dentist and other medical appointments and keep track of each person's medication is exhausting. Inevitably something falls through the cracks.
Our parents are living longer and the responsibility to ensure they have their meds and get to the doctor increases the pressure on you.
Living in a Senior Citizens Home, we have become aware of how important it is to have details easily available of your next of kin, medical aid, and family doctor. Knowing if there are life threatening conditions, for example, a pacemaker, Insulin dependency, epilepsy or allergies can save your life.
When you children leave the nest, this will be one of the best "farewell" gifts you give them as they go into the world to start their adult lives. It will be great for you too, as you won't have to dig around and find details of childhood illnesses, vaccinations, when they broke bones or had their appendix removed.
If you have to be admitted to hospital, it makes everything so much easier if you have a single file with all your information. When you are not well and confronted by a nurse
My Medical Companion will keep all your information including medical history, medications, and life threatening conditions safely in one place.

Technology is wonderful but sometimes you need a physical paper trail.
- The elderly are not always tech savvy.
- Affordability is a problem. They can't afford the latest phone or tablet. They often have limited data and airtime.
- The elderly are being targeted by scammers more frequently and if the scammers gain access to their medical information it puts them even more at risk.
- What happens if your phone which has all your appointments, contact details and other data, gets stolen or infected with a virus and you don't have a backup?
