Pill Phone mobile application

Verizon Wireless and VOCEL announced the availability of The Pill Phone, a new Get It Now application that provides users with detailed drug information and automatic dosing reminders, right on their phones.

The mobile version of the best-selling medication reference guide (The Pill Book), The Pill Phone application is available exclusively through Verizon Wireless. With The Pill Phone’s Pill Lookup feature, Verizon Wireless customers have access to critical information on more than 1,800 medications and prescription drugs that are commonly prescribed by physicians, including indications, dosing, side effects, drug interactions, photos of medications, and more.

The Pill Phone also offers a Medication Reminder feature, which allows customers to schedule automatic reminders to take their doses at the appropriate times. With the Medication Reminder feature, customers can stay on their familiar medication schedule at home and even when they are traveling. The Pill Phone has received FDA 510 (k) clearance and is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,340,503.

To purchase and download The Pill Phone, from the Get Going or Tools on the Go virtual shopping aisle of the Get It Now virtual store click on “Get New App” and then “Mind, Body & Soul.” It costs $3.99 per month and requires a Get It Now-capable phone.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
