myMerlin™
How do I set up a medication reminder in myMerlin?
Setting up a reminder is simple: just type in the medication name, choose the time you want to be reminded, and you're all set. The notification is persistent and won't disappear quickly, which is great if you're busy studying or working.
Can I track symptoms like headaches with myMerlin?
Yes, the symptom tracker lets you log things like headaches with just a few taps. You can rate the intensity and add a short note, like what triggered it, making it easy to spot patterns over time.
The app design looks outdated and some buttons are too small on my screen. Is there a fix?
Unfortunately, the app's design hasn't been updated recently, so smaller buttons on larger screens can be an issue. You might try adjusting your phone's display settings or font size to make tapping easier, but there's no built-in resize option.
I don't need features like blood pressure tracking. Can I remove them from the dashboard?
No, you can't remove those extra features—they'll just sit there unused. The app is designed to cover multiple health areas, but you can ignore them and focus only on medication reminders and symptom logging.
How does myMerlin compare to free pill reminder apps that are full of ads?
Unlike many free pill reminder apps that get bought out and flooded with ads, myMerlin is completely free with no ads, subscriptions, or pro version. It's built by Abbott, so it feels more reliable, though the interface is less polished than some newer competitors.
