“My mum wanted something simpler than a phone, and this was the first reminder system she actually kept using. The optional text check-ins make me feel far less anxious during the week.”

How MedClock Works
See exactly how MedClock works in 20 seconds.
MedClock does more than sound an alarm. When the reminder is acknowledged, family can receive a simple text confirming everything is okay.
MedClock device
MedClock shows the time clearly Medication is due and the clock beeps The first press can show the next medication page Acknowledged, SMS sent over WiFi, returning to time mode
MedClock sits ready with the time clearly visible until the next medication reminder is due. When medication is due, the screen changes and an audible beep draws attention to the reminder. The device can be set to beep in cycles of 5 until acknowledged, helping ensure the user presses the button. If more medications are scheduled for that time, the first green-button press can move to the next page. MedClock can show up to 10 medications for one reminder time across up to 5 pages. After the final acknowledgement, the SMS is sent and the device returns to its normal clock view for the next reminder.

Family SMS check-in
Nothing is sent yet. The SMS check-in only goes out after the reminder has been acknowledged. Family still does not need to call. The message is only sent after the user presses the button. This first press only changes the medication page. A second press is what continues the check-in flow. Family receives a simple text confirming the reminder was acknowledged, helping them know everything is okay.
It started with my grandad.
Like many older people, my grandad loved the comfort of his own home and the independence that came with it. But a lot of devices meant to help - SOS necklaces, watches, and other gadgets - often get put aside instead of becoming part of everyday life.
A few years ago, my grandad suffered a fall while living independently. No one realised something was wrong for almost two days.
That experience stayed with me. I wanted to build something genuinely simple. Not another app. Not another device with confusing setup. Just a clear reminder clock that could fit naturally into someone’s day.
MedClock grew from that idea: medication reminders that feel straightforward to use, with optional family check-ins layered on top for reassurance.

What families are saying about MedClock.
Families often tell us the same thing: MedClock feels simpler to use than app-based reminders, while the SMS check-ins help reduce the constant worry in the background.
“Setup was much easier than I expected. Once it was on the kitchen bench, Dad understood the routine straight away. The big button and clear reminders make a big difference.”
Michael, family carer“Before MedClock, our check-ins felt like nagging. Now we can have normal conversations again because we are not constantly asking whether medication was taken.”
Julie, daughterTrusted by families, pharmacies, and media.
MedClock is stocked in selected pharmacies and mobility stores and is helping Australian families support medication routines while maintaining independence at home.

“The option that’s been developed here (MedClock) is really useful for a particular cohort of older people. It’s never a one-size-fits-all solution.”
Geoff Rowe, CEO, Aged and Disability Advocacy AustraliaSimple for them. Reassuring for you.
MedClock keeps the daily routine simple: a clear reminder, one button to acknowledge it, and optional SMS check-ins for family. That extra layer of reassurance is what makes it more helpful than a normal phone alarm.
MedClock gives an audible reminder when medication is due, helping create a routine that is easier to notice and follow each day.
No app, no login, and no touchscreen for the user. The reminder is acknowledged with one large button that feels simple and familiar.
