How it works

Set up in five steps. Keep the list right after every visit.

SwyftMeds is built for the person taking the medications and for the family member who helps. Both see the same list.

A weekly pill organizer, open on Monday, beside a few tablets on a white table.

Five steps to get started

Onboarding is designed to take about five minutes, with large type and one decision per screen.
  1. Step 1

    Add a person

    Yourself, or a parent, partner or child you help.
  2. Step 2

    Add medications

    Name, strength and dose. Prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines and vitamins all count.
  3. Step 3

    Choose reminder times

    Pick the times of day each medication is taken.
  4. Step 4

    Invite a caregiver

    Send an invite by email to a family member or care worker.
  5. Step 5

    Choose permissions

    Decide what they can see and do. You can change it any time.

What Changed? after an appointment

New specialist, hospital stay, pharmacy switch: this is when medication lists go out of date. What Changed? catches it.
  1. Upload or paste

    After an appointment, take a photo of the visit summary or prescription, upload a PDF, or paste the notes.

  2. SwyftMeds lists the changes

    Each change gets a label: Added, Stopped, Dose changed or Follow-up. The words it came from are shown beside it.

  3. You check each one

    Tick the changes that are right. Fix anything that is not, or add a change by hand.

  4. Confirm

    Only then is the list updated. A follow-up becomes an appointment or a task. Nothing is saved until you confirm.

AddedStoppedDose changedFollow-up

SwyftMeds reads and organizes. It never decides on a change for you, and it never tells anyone to start, stop or switch a medication. Questions go to your pharmacist or prescriber.

The Care Circle

Everyone who helps sees the same list. Each person sees only what the owner allows. These are the starting permissions for each role; the owner can change any of them.
