Email Consolidation

MedAdvisor now consolidates Fill-My-Script or See-My-Doctor reminders transmitted via email. This means that if multiple reminders of either type are sent on the same day, these will be consolidated into just one email.

Medicine Details

Certain medications will now contain additional information within MedAdvisor. This additional information may come in the form of a brand logo (which will match the medication packaging) or device image (useful for inhalers) making it easier to identify different medication. Helpful usage tips and a link to additional information may also be included.

MedAdvisor can now send a series of messages relating to specific medications. These messages will provide more information about the condition being treated, and about the medication prescribed.

These messages can be turned off at any time by setting the Tips and Advice toggle switched (found under the message) to the 'Off' position.

Other Enhancements

• A range of general bug fixes and performance enhancements have been incorporated.
