Best Addison's disease app — what to look for
The best Addison's disease app for you matches your prescriber's schedule, keeps emergency information visible, and stays simple on flare days — not the app with the longest feature list.
- Multiple labelled daily reminders for split hydrocortisone doses.
- Sick-day notes aligned with your specialist plan.
- Medical ID and emergency protocol accessible under stress.
- Optional read-only access for carers or parents.
- Symptom and energy logging for endocrine appointments.
Feature checklist (not a sales pitch)
Compare apps on reminders, emergency help, carer sharing, privacy, and whether they understand adrenal insufficiency — not on star ratings alone.
What MyAddi offers
MyAddi focuses on Addison's and adrenal insufficiency first: hydrocortisone reminders, daily check-ins, care circle, GP summaries, and SML hold-to-activate emergency guidance. NFC medical cards are in development.
Paper still matters
Even the best Addison's disease app complements — never replaces — your NHS steroid emergency card and any prescribed injection kit.
How MyAddi helps
MyAddi is a free-beta Addison's-focused app combining medication tracking, care circle, and SML emergency help.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there one official best Addison's disease app?
- No. The best choice depends on your schedule, carers, and how you handle emergencies. Try tools during beta or free trials and keep what you will use daily.
- Should I trust app store reviews alone?
- Reviews help but can be generic. Look for apps that mention steroid timing, sick days, and emergency planning — not just generic pill reminders.
- Is MyAddi free?
- Yes during the closed beta. Request access on the beta page.
