No, but I am interested to learn, Carolla. I know someone who needs occassional reminders for things like taking important meds- due to mild impairment- as well as tasks to maybe help improve memory. Which, to be honest, might help me too. ;)

I'm diabetic but haven't really looked into apps for managing it as of yet. My glucose isn't really that high (don't need medication) and I just need to keep on top maintaining my fitness level and watching dietary carbs. If I come across anything, I'll pass it on, though.

Unfortunately, we don't have money to buy an IPad for work.

I came across a nice app for stroke patients that keeps track of their exercise program and you even can take pictures of yourself doing the exercise. It has different options for explaining the exercise- auditory, video, pictures or a combination.We haven't tried it with patients yet.

It's called :"strokelink". It's free

I got another app that you can use to keep track of your medical information. It's called My Medical. (both IPad apps)

no, but sounds neet, carolla :3  esp when eyeborg/google glasses become commonplace :3

I use http://www.pillboxie.com/  with Google calendar to remind and keep track of my medications.   Pillboxie does not work in  the cloud, so if I do not have my Ipad on me, I will not be reminded. So I also use Google calandar, since it works with my Ipad, Android phone, and my PC.     However since Google calendar does not have a function to not just nortify me, but to also register that I have taken my meds (to avoid double dosing, as sometimes I can not remebr if I have taken them.) I need to use both. 

I don't use an app to manage my diabetes. I do use the Contour USB glucometer, though. It's actually pretty sweet. One end is the glucometer, and the other end is the USB. All the software is already in the meter, and you can just plug it in the USB port on your computer and it will produce all kinds of charts and graphs that you can print out and take to your next appointment. 

I've been trying out an (android) app today called PEAT - seems to have good reminder functionality & reasonably straightforward to set up - designed by a psychologist in the US to address difficulties with cognition, attention, short term memory, organization etc.  Will let you know more once I've had it longer.  It has a 30 day free trial, then there is a fee to continue - I think about $25.   Stay tuned ...

I haven't heard of pilboxie Alex - I will check that out tomorrow!

Last night I was reviewing some diabetes management apps - some interesting options out there ... more to come!

mrs. anteater - our paeds OTs recently were able to get funding to purchase an iPad to use for teaching & demo with some of their autistic kids - I haven't heard how that's going, but you're reminding me to check with my colleague!

I recieved the funds to pay for my Ipod touch, through a grant for students with disabilities that affected memory. It is always good to check out what kind of funding is avaiable, as many programs will pay for things that can be used as adaptive devices that are proven to work and help people with disabilities overcome their barriers. 

I should also say that one of the many features of the Contour USB is that you can set reminders to test your blood. Pre and post meal.
