A medication reminder app that
knows when a dose is missed.
Cureva is a medication reminder app for people who take medicine every day and the families who worry about them. It rings like an alarm, follows up at 5 and 10 minutes, and can tell the family you choose if a dose goes unconfirmed.
How does Cureva remind you
to take medication?
It rings like an alarm, then follows up. Reminders arrive at the scheduled time, again at 5 minutes and again at 10 minutes, until you tap Taken or Skipped.
An alarm, not a quiet buzz
On Android the reminder can take over the lock screen with a looping sound. On iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive notification, which can break through a Focus mode.
Follow-ups at 5 and 10 minutes
If the first alert is missed, two more come. They cancel themselves the moment you log the dose.
Schedules that match real life
Daily, every few days, specific weekdays, weekly, or several times a day. Quiet hours are respected, and doses due at the same moment arrive as one grouped alert.

What happens if a dose
is missed?
Cureva keeps the record honest and, if you choose, lets your family know. Nothing is hidden and nothing is guessed.
Reminder, follow-ups, then your family.
If a dose is still unconfirmed after a short grace period, the caregivers you linked get a push notification. It names the medicine and the time. It is a push alert only, not a text message, and it is not instant, so it is a nudge to check in, not an emergency line. For emergencies, call your local emergency number.
How family alerts work →Can family see if Mom
took her pills?
Yes, if she links them. Each person she adds gets only the access she grants.
See the medication list and dose history
Linked family can see which medicines are due and what was marked Taken or Skipped, with times. If the patient allows it, a caregiver can also log or edit a dose.
Up to 5 family and 5 professional caregivers
Siblings, a spouse, or a visiting nurse can share the same picture, each with their own permissions. Nobody has to be the only one who knows.
A weekly, biweekly or monthly report
Each caregiver can receive a summary by email and push on the schedule they choose.
A morning check-in from Eva
Eva, the companion inside Cureva, greets you by name each morning and asks how you are feeling.

A pill organizer is genuinely useful for sorting a week of tablets, and many people use one alongside Cureva. Read more in pill organizer vs app.
Why do people forget
their medication?
Forgetting is common and rarely about carelessness. The World Health Organization reported that in developed countries only about half of people with chronic illnesses take their medication as prescribed (Source, 2003). A reminder that follows up, and a person who knows, close part of that gap.
How it works
Add your medicines
Type the name, scan the barcode, or take a photo of the pill for a suggestion. Barcode lookup uses the US FDA directory and falls back to manual entry. Always check the suggestion against your label.
Set your schedule
Pick the days and times. Cureva rings at each one and follows up at 5 and 10 minutes.
Tap Taken, and link family if you like
Every tap is saved with a time. Add family if you want them to see your day.

What else does Cureva do
alongside reminders?
Reminders are the heart of it. These are the extras people use most.
Vitals logging
Log blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and heart rate, or sync them from Apple Health or Health Connect. Out-of-range readings can alert you and the family you allow.
Doctor-ready report
Make a PDF of your medicines, adherence, vitals and symptoms, then email it to your doctor or share a link that expires in 72 hours.
Interaction flags
Cureva checks your medicines against official US FDA label text and flags a pair only when a label names the other. It is informational, so confirm with your pharmacist.
