Jitterbug + OnTimeRx Reminders = Great Combo!

KISS = Keep It Senior Simple!

Jitterbug has done an excellent job with their simple "senior-focused" cell phone.
OnTimeRx employs this concept in the design of our automated medication reminder service.
These two senior products are meant for each other!!

Life will be much simpler for the caregivers and family members when a senior is using these simple tools.
It provides peace of mind and is a stress-reliever to boot!

How Does Pre Stack Up?

According to a lot of chatter on Twitter and on a nursing listserv I follow, the Palm Pre is looking like the obvious choice over iPhone or Android. There's a Comparison Chart that's getting a lot of looks on Twitter and other places, and if those numbers are correct, the Pre will save nurses and other health care providers a lot more money in the long run.

The yearly service costs are less for the Pre, but an even bigger savings will be possible for medical/clinical users. Since the Palm Pre can run the MotionApps Classic emulator, it won't be necessary to buy all new software to get the specific funcionality that's needed in health care settings. Most of the trusty old Palm OS programs will still be useful and useable on this nifty new phone.

Many health care providers have invested hundreds of dollars in very specific programs for their particular areas of expertise. These targeted applications include drug databases for various geriatric, pediatric, and diabetic specialties; and there are dosage calculators, patient assessment tools, and yes, even my patient-focused medication reminder program, OnTimeRx.

We're "GO" for Launch!

The new Palm Pre phone (webOS) is in the final countdown for launch tomorrow - Saturday, June 6th, 2009.

This is also a very big day for OnTimeRx!

Not only will OnTimeRx run on the Palm Pre phone (with Classic emulator), it will run 2x as fast! The best part is, this will allow a whole new generation to experience the joys of using OnTimeRx software for medication management.

We didn't have to do a thing to our old reliable Palm OS program, which thousands of Palm PDA and smart phone users have been depending on for years. Now they can upgrade to the new Palm webOS operating system, and never miss a beat - or a pill.

OnTimeRx has been Certified Compatible with the Classic emulator, and we could not be more delighted.

Thank you, MotionApps, for this BRILLIANT Solution!
