Ask HN: Best way to track medications for elderly family member?

1•shipman05•1h ago
I have an elderly family member who has a large number of medications. They seem to frequently lose track of what meds they're taking.

Worse, it seems that doctors often prescribe new medications without a full understanding of what meds are already being used and what possible interactions might be.

I've tried a shared Google Doc, but struggle to get all parties involved to keep it updated. Are there any good, dedicated apps for this sort of thing (that aren't just data mining operations)? My initial searching yielded a lot of junk.

What do y'all use for similar situations?
