Sentai enables flexible scheduling of medication reminders for different medications at various times throughout the day. Sentai tracks medication adherence and alerts nominated contacts if there is a problem, such as a medication having run out, or if help is needed.
Reminders for medication can be created and edited in the Sentai app and the Sentai Pro dashboard. A brief summary of the results of each medication reminder will be visible in the in the Activity Log.
Go to Profile and then Medications, and you’ll see a list of medications if any have been set, and a plus button.
Press plus to create a new medication.
Enter the display name, the friendly medication name and the content of the reminder. It's important to give clear instructions: how to take the medication, how much, and where it is located for Sentai to be able to answer these questions. The display name is the name shown in the app, whilst friendly name is the name used by Sentai during the interaction.
Set the schedule of the event, start and end date, and times, where applicable. You can choose from the following options:
