About WhatMeds

WhatMeds® - For Medicare Beneficiaries and Their Family Caregivers – Keep track of medications for you and your family.

Knowing what medications you or your family take can help keep everyone safe, but keeping your medication lists up to date is hard. WhatMeds makes it easy to keep track of your medications by helping you fetch your medical information electronically from Medicare and by making sharing easy and secure. So at all points of care when a physician or nurse asks, “What medications do you currently take?”, you can easily answer that question with the WhatMeds app.

Getting your Medication List is Easy

WhatMeds give you two convenient options to have your up-to-date medications list at all times

  1. Option 1: Medicare.gov - You can use our app to login and automatically retrieve your medication data directly from Medicare (if you are a Medicare beneficiary). If you don't yet have a Medicare account, you can easily create one right from the WhatMeds app.
  2. Option 2: Self-entry - Without typing the entire name of a medication, you can easily add medications right from the app with a few taps using our intelligent search.

Medication Information Sharing.

You can share your information with your doctor, nurse, pharmacist or telehealth provider using the secure WhatMeds QR Code within the app.

  1. From a WhatMeds profile screen, simply tap the “Share Medications” button to initiate sharing your WhatMeds medications information, and then tap the button “Generate Secure Link”. This will quickly generate a secure and one-time use QR code.
  2. Show this QR code to the clinician for them to scan it.
  3. Your clinician can now view the medications with all the details they need to see: medication name, dose, the date it was dispensed by the pharmacy, the quantity dispensed and the name of the prescribing physician.

Medication Information and Safety Warnings

WhatMeds helps you learn about your medications, and importantly, surfaces common safety risks about your medications like severe drug interactions, opioid warnings and medications which should usually not be prescribed to individuals over the age of 65.

WhatMeds uses MedLine Plus from the National Library of Medicine for immediate look-up of medication information so that you can learn more about what medications you are taking.
