It records
Who gave which tablets, at what time, and whether she confirmed it herself.
Did I take it? Where is it? Who gives me the next one?
People living with dementia cannot safely manage their own medication. They forget a dose and take it again, or believe they have taken it when they have not. So a family member or a carer takes control — and that creates the second problem: the same three questions, every day, and an argument nobody can win.
Toeka Care records, reminds, and counts. The carer logs what was given. Her phone answers her questions, in her own name, without naming a single tablet.
The app is not on the stores yet.
What it does
It reminds
The carer on the roster, at the start of the window and again if nothing has been logged.
It counts
What is left in the box, how many days that is, and when the script runs out.
It answers her
One screen, in her own name, telling her whether she has taken them and who comes next.
It holds a shift together
Any carer can log any dose, and a handover shows what was unusual since the last one.
It keeps the truth
Records are added, never overwritten. A correction is a new entry that points at the original.
Who it is for
A family
One person being cared for, one to four carers, one of them the admin. A daughter, a son-in-law, a domestic worker, and the phone on the kitchen table. Mostly lived in on the phone.
A frail-care facility
Many residents, staff on shifts, a manager who has to answer for a missed dose. Rounds and handovers on the web; the same dose screen in the carer's hand.
What it will never do
It never decides anything clinical. No interactions, no “should she take this”, no advice.
It never suggests a dose or changes one. The prescription belongs to the doctor.
It never lets the patient mark a dose as taken. She can only confirm one that was just given to her.
It never names her medicines on her own screen, or tells her where they are kept.
