How You Can Track Your Medications On Apple Watch?
According to Apple, based on the schedule you’ve set up in the Health app on your iPhone, your Apple Watch will automatically remind you when it’s time to take your meds. Follow these steps to record your prescriptions:
Step 1: Tap the notification if you have received one asking you to log your prescriptions. If not, launch the Medication app on your Apple Watch.
Step 2: Tap the current medications schedule – the medications you take in the morning, for example.
Step 3: Press ‘Log All as Taken.’ The dosage, the number of units consumed, and the moment you took the medication are all recorded by Apple Watch.
Step 4: Scroll down, select a drug under ‘Your Medications,’ and then select ‘Log’ to record each medication. Under Logged, the name of the drug and the time logged are shown.
Step 5: In order to change the status of a logged medication, you have to tap it, and click on ‘Taken’ or ‘Skipped.’
Step 6: Now, tap on ‘Done.’ That’s all.
