The Medications area, My list tab: two medications with a fixed time, reminder on for one of two, compatibility and a report for the doctor
The Adherence page: 86 % of planned doses checked off in 7 days, five days at 100 %, two at 50 %
What YUTHI keeps an eye on for you

One list, one time, one tick — that's all it takes.

The area only appears if you take medications. The sources are listed at the bottom of the page.

Check off in one place

For each medication you enter name, dose, time of day and rhythm — daily or every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You check it off in the same plan as your supplements.

Example: today, Monday

  • Ramipril · morningtaken
  • Metformin · eveningopen
  • As needed · no fixed timeno tick

Only what's due today and has a fixed time is counted. A medication taken “as needed” stays on your list but never counts as forgotten.

A reminder at your time

If you like, each medication gets its own alarm. You choose the time, the app reminds you — and tells you if permission for notifications is missing.

  1. choose a time
  2. reminder arrives
  3. check it off

An iPhone keeps at most 64 scheduled notifications. YUTHI reserves 48 of them for your medications so no reminder gets lost.

An honest look at adherence

How much of what was due did you check off? The app shows it for 7 days and over 4 weeks. According to a Cochrane review, people typically take only about half of their prescribed doses.4

  • all taken
  • partly

Example: 4 weeks with two medications, 51 doses. Over the last 7 days that's 86 %. Today, the evening dose is still open.

What else you can do with it

Quickly entered, safely supported.

A photo of the pack is enough

Take a photo of the pack or write to the coach. It reads the name and strength and asks about anything missing. Nothing is added until you confirm — nothing lands on your list automatically.

  1. photograph the pack
  2. coach asks
  3. you confirm

If you only mentioned a medication in the chat, the app offers it for 30 days under “Add from chat”.

The coach has a brake

As soon as you've added medications, the app checks every coach answer before you read it. If a statement slips through that the coach isn't allowed to make, it gets corrected.

  • never “harmless” or “no interaction”
  • never a dose
  • never advice to stop
  • always the way to your doctor or pharmacy

The check runs inside the app itself, in German and English — regardless of what the language model happens to answer.

Notes on supplements

Some medications can lower blood levels of certain nutrients. If one of them is on your list, the Supplements area shows a note — with the advice to get a blood test first.

What the app knows

  • Metformin · high dose, long-term use6Vitamin B12
  • Acid blockers · usually over a year7Magnesium
  • The pill · according to a review8Vitamin B6
  • St. John's wort · alters many drugs5Caution

This is a note, not a diagnosis. Never add a new product to your medications on your own.

Coffee can play a part

If you take L-thyroxine or fluvoxamine and log coffee, you'll get a note in the Hydration area.13

  • L-thyroxine with coffeeat the same time instead of with water27–36 % less
  • Caffeine with fluvoxaminehalf-life 4.9 → 56 hoursabout 11 times as long

Coffee one hour after the thyroid hormone showed no effect in the study. Discuss the timing with your doctor or pharmacy.

What it looks like in the app

Four tiles, one goal: forget nothing.

The same tiles as in the Medication area of the app — and what's behind them.

86 % in 7 days

  • taken
  • missed or open

Example: two medications, morning and evening — 12 of 14 doses in one week.

All medications

Your regular list with name, strength and time. Compare name and strength with the pack before you add a medication.

Reminders

The app checks in at the time you choose. According to a Cochrane review, such aids only work moderately — so the app also suggests tying the dose to something fixed, such as brushing your teeth.4

Add from the chat

What you tell your coach or photograph does not land in your regular list by itself. You decide — a one-off painkiller doesn't belong there.

Tolerability

Safety notes, for example on St John's wort, which affects the pill among others. Your coach points out possible interactions but may not assess them.5

Your areas talk to each other

Medications are connected to more than you think.

The app already calculates these connections today. A connection is not a cause — but it shows you where to look.

What does your body good

Mind the timing

For the thyroid hormone L-thyroxine, one study showed that the most hormone arrived when taken with water. Coffee one hour later made no difference; coffee at the same time lowered absorption by 29 to 36 %.1

Say so when you stop smoking

After quitting smoking, the activity of a liver enzyme that breaks down some medicines drops. The authors advise that the doctor checks the dose early.2

What you should rather skip

Fluvoxamine and lots of caffeine without knowing

The drug fluvoxamine strongly slows down the breakdown of caffeine. In a study of 7 volunteers the half-life rose from 4.9 to 56 hours. Caffeine can then last much longer. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it.3
