DoseMate Family

Medication reminders and check-ins for elderly parents and remote caregivers

Problem

Elderly parents taking multiple medications often forget when to take them or whether they already did; children can only call every few hours to ask, which annoys parents and worries children. Existing reminder tools are either too complex or lack family sync.

Solution

WeChat mini-program: elderly set medication plans, get reminders, and tap 'taken' to log; caregivers bind and receive real-time adherence and missed-dose alerts; quick logging for temporary meds without long-term plans; option to use without binding family.

Users

Remote adult children caring for aging parents, and elderly users comfortable with smartphones

MVP

Medication plan setup with timed reminders; check-in and daily logs; family binding with notifications; missed-dose alerts; quick temporary medication logging

Revenue

Free basic features; premium (multiple elderly profiles, report export, unlimited family binding) at ¥99/year

Why now

China's aging population and strong demand for remote caregiving; WeChat mini-programs have low dev barriers for indie developers, and existing products lack family collaboration
