It started around our kitchen table.
My husband Roger was taking an increasing number of medications, and although he wanted to remain independent, managing them became more complicated than either of us had imagined.
It wasn't simply about remembering tablets. It was remembering which medicines to take before breakfast, which after meals, making sure prescriptions were ordered before they ran out, and trying to support him — without making him feel dependent.
As Roger's health journey became more complex, I realised that medication doesn't just affect the person taking it. It affects the whole family. That experience inspired MediMate.
"Will this make life easier for the patient, their carer and their family?"
Without making him feel dependent.
