Using DrBell

Three kinds of people use DrBell and they want different things, so there are three guides rather than one long one.

What DrBell does, in one paragraph

It reminds somebody of the medicines a doctor already prescribed, shows them a photograph of the actual strip so they can see what to take, records what was taken, and tells the people who care about them when a dose was missed. That is the whole product.

What it does not do

DrBell gives no medical advice. It never suggests a medicine, never suggests a dose, never suggests changing either, and never translates the name of a medicine — a name translated into another language may name nothing the pharmacy stocks. Everything it says came from the prescribing doctor, by way of whoever typed it in.

If a screen ever appears to advise you, that is a bug. Write to hello@drbell.app and we will fix it.

The screenshots

Every picture in these guides is taken from the running product, not drawn. If a screenshot disagrees with what you see, the guide is out of date — write to hello@drbell.app and we will fix it.
