🩺 The Problem It Solves
Many people, especially elderly patients or those on long-term treatments, often forget to take their medicines on time.
Missing doses can lead to serious health issues, slower recovery, or even treatment failure.
Traditional methods like paper notes or alarms are not reliable – they don’t provide flexibility, tracking, or email alerts.
✅ Our Medicine Reminder App makes this easier and safer:
Sends real-time notifications to remind patients at the exact time.
Sends email alerts for an extra layer of reliability.
Simple and user-friendly interface for all age groups.
Saves reminders in the browser, so users can track their medication schedule.
With this app, patients, caregivers, and even busy professionals can manage medicines without stress, ensuring better health and safety.
Challenges I ran into
⚡ Challenges I Ran Into
Browser Notifications: Initially, notifications didn’t show when the browser was closed. I solved this by combining browser notifications with EmailJS for email alerts.
LocalStorage Issues: Reminders were not persisting after refresh. Fixed it by syncing state with localStorage using useEffect.
Responsive Design: The UI broke on small screens. I overcame this by adding TailwindCSS responsive utilities and testing on different devices.
