Medication reminders and marking medicines as taken
Set up reminders, mark a medicine as taken or skipped, and get a gentle nudge if you forget.
Set up a reminder
- Added in chat: Kentra sets a daily reminder for you. If you did not say a time, it uses 9:00 AM. Medicines you take only as needed do not get a reminder.
- Added with the form: no reminder is set. Ask Kentra in chat, for example: "Remind me to take my vitamin D at 8am and 8pm."
To change or remove a reminder, tap the bell at the top right of Home, find it under Scheduled reminders, then tap ⋮ › Edit reminder or Remove reminder. You can also just ask Kentra.
Mark a medicine as taken
Go to Home › Records › Health history › Medications › Manage › Today. You can also use the home-screen widget.
- Taken: tap the circle. Tap again to undo.
- Skipped: tap the medicine and pick a reason, such as Forgot, Ran out or Doctor's advice.
- As-needed medicines: tap Log a dose when you take one.
To look back, open Health history › Medications › Adherence. It shows a calendar of the days you marked. Tap a past day to fill it in.
A nudge if you forget
Kentra can send a follow-up if a medicine has not been marked yet. It is off until you turn it on.
- Open the menu (☰) › Profile › Notifications.
- Turn on Missed dose follow-up and choose how long to wait: from 15 minutes to 3 hours, or your own time.
The follow-up has three buttons: Took them, Skip · add reason and Remind in 30 min.
Good to know
- For privacy, your lock screen shows only "Medication reminder" unless you turn on Show Details on Lock Screen under Profile › Preferences.
- Reminders due at the same minute are grouped into one notification.
- Kentra has no quiet hours setting. Your phone's Focus or Do Not Disturb settings still apply.
