Medication Reminder Service — Medi-Sync

Medication reminder & escalation Three prompts to take it. Someone always knows if it's missed. Medi-Sync sends an SMS, then an automated phone call — in sequence, on your schedule, up to three times a day. If a dose is still missed, a nominated carer or family member is notified straight away. No app, no smartphone required.

Medi-Sync is a gentle, reliable prompt at the right moment — helping seniors, people living with chronic conditions, and those recovering at home keep their medication on track and stay safely in their own home for longer. Cost comparison When hands-on prompting isn't feasible, the alternative is a care worker's hourly rate. Every missed check-in either goes unaddressed or is billed at a support worker's hourly rate. Automated multi-channel prompting closes that gap for a fraction of the cost. In-person prompting $70.23/hour National weekday daytime rate for Assistance with Self-Care Activities (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026–27) — the benchmark for an hour of hands-on care. Even a short medication check-in draws against this rate, and it doesn't scale to three prompts a day, every day. vs. Medi-Sync subscription $39.95/month SMS and automated phone prompting for every scheduled dose, every day of the month, plus carer escalation when a dose is missed. Less than one hour of hands-on care — covering a full month. Automate your Webster-Pak Already using a Webster-Pak, blister pack or dose administration aid? Medi-Sync is the perfect partner.

No. Medi-Sync sends standard SMS text messages and automated phone calls, so it works on any mobile phone or landline — no app or internet required. How many reminders will I receive each day? Up to three medication reminders per day, scheduled to match your dosing routine. What happens if a dose is missed? After the reminders and an automated call go unanswered, a nominated carer or family member is notified by SMS so someone can follow up. Will it work with my Webster-Pak? Absolutely. Medi-Sync is designed to complement Webster-Pak and other blister packs, reminding you exactly when to take each dose. Can I cancel anytime? Yes. Medi-Sync is a no-lock-in monthly subscription and you can cancel whenever you like. The evidence Reminders aren't a nice-to-have — they're a studied, measurable intervention. Multiple randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses have tested exactly this kind of prompting. The results are consistent: reminders work.
