Can an adrenal insufficiency app adjust my steroid dose?

No. Only your clinical team should change doses. Apps remind, log, and guide — they do not prescribe.

Do I still need a steroid emergency card if I use an app?

Yes. Keep paper and wearable ID. An app is an additional channel, especially when carers need step-by-step help.

Is MyAddi available on iOS and Android?

Beta access is rolling out on both platforms. Request access on the beta page and choose your device.

Apps for adrenal insufficiency and Addison's

An adrenal insufficiency app should make daily steroid routines easier, surface sick-day rules, and keep emergency help one tap away — without claiming to diagnose or treat crises.

Reliable reminders for split daily hydrocortisone doses.
Quick access to Medical ID and emergency contacts.
Symptom and energy logging for clinic conversations.
Carer or parent visibility with patient-controlled permissions.
Hold-to-activate emergency protocol to avoid accidental triggers.

Primary vs secondary adrenal insufficiency

Addison's disease is the common name for primary adrenal insufficiency. Other forms exist; all require individualised replacement plans. An adrenal insufficiency app should flex to your prescriber's schedule, not impose a generic template.

What MyAddi focuses on

MyAddi started with Addison's and adrenal insufficiency: hydrocortisone reminders, calm daily check-ins, care-circle updates, and the Save My Life protocol for emergency help. NFC medical cards are in development alongside in-app Medical ID.
