Scan any medication label with your camera. Get clear, simple instructions — what to take, how much, and when. Designed for older adults and caregivers.
Medication Helper makes it easy to understand your medication labels. Just point your iPhone camera at a medicine bottle, and the app reads the label for you — telling you what the medicine is, how much to take, when to take it, and what to watch out for.
DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE • Large, clear text that's easy to read • Voice reads your medication info aloud • Simple two-tap workflow — scan, then review • Works great with VoiceOver
