I use an app on my phone called Medisafe. It is designed to remind me when to take my meds. It has a ton of features. I use the core features only. I currently have Morgan Freeman reminding me that it is pill time. Darth Vader and a whiny grandmother are available.
Cheers,

Like Alexa, you can use a celebrity voice for reminders. I’m currently following Morgan Freeman’s advice on when to take my meds.
Cheers!

These are the only invasive studies I have done.

Friends:
I’ve participated in several research projects since being diagnosed six years ago. I haven’t tried out any new medicines or treatments.
