The app aims to digitally empower seniors through modern technology that facilitates their daily lives. All local departments were addressed to present initiatives in the interest of seniors, and the Sharjah e-Government Department submitted a proposal to regulate medication.
According to Eng. Khalid Mohammed Bugillah, information technology consultant at the e-Government Department, says the medication regulator is an app for seniors to help remind them of appointments related to their healthcare and schedule the doses of the medicine. In addition, the user can create a personal medical file, giving quick access to health information such as allergies, blood type, emergency contact numbers, and so on. Knowing the nearest available health centers, hospitals, and pharmacies has also been added.
Bugillah adds that the app operates as an alarm that helps seniors schedule medications and access emergency numbers approved by the Sharjah government, including Sharjah Municipality, the Sharjah Electricity Authority, Civil Defense, and the Sharjah Police, and the numbers of the Social Services Department.
