Is MyAddi a medical device?

No. MyAddi supports daily routines and emergency guidance. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your endocrine team or emergency services.

Do reminders work offline?

Core reminders use your phone's notification system. Check beta release notes for offline details on your platform.

Can parents see medication reminders?

You control care-circle permissions. Parents can receive agreed updates without accessing everything.

Medication reminders and MyAddi — how they work together

Good medication reminders anchor hydrocortisone to daily habits, label each dose clearly, and stay usable on bad days. MyAddi adds symptom check-ins, carer visibility, and SML emergency help alongside reminders.

Label reminders by dose and time — not just "take tablet".
Keep sick-day rules one tap away from your schedule.
Log extra doses during illness for clinic appointments.
Let trusted carers see adherence without constant check-ins.
Pair reminders with paper emergency card and injection kit where prescribed.

Reminder basics that work for steroids

Split daily hydrocortisone needs multiple anchors — breakfast, lunch, evening. Generic once-a-day alarms fail because people dismiss them or forget which dose was due.

Where MyAddi fits

MyAddi is built for Addison's and broader chronic illness: named dose reminders, mood and energy check-ins, care-circle updates for parents and partners, GP-ready summaries, and hold-to-activate SML emergency guidance.

It is a supportive tool, not a medical device — dose changes always come from your clinical team.
