Overview
Closed testing
Closed testing means the Android app is on Google Play for a limited group of testers before public release. The website at doseanchor.com is taking waitlist sign-ups in the meantime.
DoseAnchor
DoseAnchor is an Android medication reminder app for families, built by Haseeb Sagheer with React Native (Expo) and Supabase. It reminds the person taking the medication and alerts a caregiver. It is in closed testing on Google Play.
DoseAnchor is a medication reminder app built for families. The parent or relative gets a gentle reminder. The family sees which doses were taken.
The gap it fills is the phone call. Many people check on a parent's medication by ringing every morning to ask. With DoseAnchor, a follow-up reminder goes out if a dose is not marked as taken, and if one slips the family is told.
I built the app in React Native with Expo on a Supabase backend, set up subscriptions through Google Play billing, and built the website. It is a reminder tool, not medical advice.
The problem
A reminder only helps the person holding the phone. Families looking after a parent or relative need to know when a dose was missed.
Who it is for
Family caregivers who want to know a parent or relative took their medicine without calling to ask.
