GreatCall launches new app to make medication management easy

With the availability of MedCoach, 30 million U.S.-based Android OS users now have immediate access to an app that enables them to easily follow their medication schedule as prescribed by their doctor, track adherence to that schedule, and connect to their pharmacy when it's time to refill a prescription. The app also delivers additional benefits such as systems for keeping customer information private and secure at all times, features that provide assistance when needed, all offered in an intuitive design that users will appreciate.

"With MedCoach, our goal is to provide people with a very easy-to-use app to help them manage medications on their smartphone or tablet," said David Inns, CEO of GreatCall. "We have listened to customers and they want to buy health and safety apps from companies that have award winning reputations, provide real customer service, and take customer data privacy very seriously. GreatCall is well positioned to fill this need for customers."

Key features include:

• Helps you remember to take the right medications, at the right time - every day. Stay on schedule and even connect to your pharmacy to refill your prescriptions.
• 24/7 access to live, personal assistance via email to GreatCall's HIPAA compliant customer support team.
• Customer information will be kept private via GreatCall's secure SAS70 Type II infrastructure.
• Just "Shake for Help™" - a handy tool to always get an answer when you need one. Just shake your phone at any time and information will appear via a help "bubble" on screen specific to the topic being read.
• A helpful medication lookup option that accesses the First Databank national drug database to help you select your medication and dosage.
