SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GreatCall, Inc., a leader in wireless services that enable people to stay connected, safe and healthy, today announced the immediate availability of its first Android OS application, MedCoach—a new app designed to make medication management easy for everyone. MedCoach became available to iPhone users in June and received immediate praise for its ease of use and smart feature set. The application, which was recognized as “App of the Week” by multiple media outlets and has already been downloaded by more than 10,000 iPhone users, is free to use and joins the company’s growing portfolio of award-winning products and services.
With the availability of MedCoach, 30 million U.S.-based Android OS users now have immediate access to an app that enables them to easily follow their medication schedule as prescribed by their doctor, track adherence to that schedule, and connect to their pharmacy when it’s time to refill a prescription. The app also delivers additional benefits such as systems for keeping customer information private and secure at all times, features that provide assistance when needed, all offered in an intuitive design that users will appreciate.
"With MedCoach, our goal is to provide people with a very easy-to-use app to help them manage medications on their smartphone or tablet," said David Inns, CEO of GreatCall. "We have listened to customers and they want to buy health and safety apps from companies that have award winning reputations, provide real customer service, and take customer data privacy very seriously. GreatCall is well positioned to fill this need for customers."
