# Medication Tracking

The **Medications** tab helps you stay on top of your prescribed medications with a daily schedule, dose confirmation, adherence tracking, and smart reminders.

## Your Medication Schedule

1. Tap the **Medications** tab.
2. You will see today's doses grouped by time: **Morning**, **Midday**, **Evening**, **Bedtime**.
3. Each medication card shows:
   - Drug name and strength
   - Instructions (e.g. "Take with food")
   - Scheduled time
   - Status: **Due**, **Taken**, or **Missed**

## Confirming a Dose

1. Tap a medication card marked **Due**.
2. Tap **Mark as Taken**.
3. The card turns green and the time of confirmation is logged.

You can also confirm directly from the Home screen reminder cards.

## Missed Doses

If a dose is not confirmed within 2 hours of its scheduled time, its status changes to **Missed** and you receive a push notification.

```{note}
For missed doses, always follow your doctor's instructions. Do not double-dose without medical advice. The AI can answer general questions about what to do -- tap the **Chat** tab and ask.
```

## Adherence Score

At the top of the Medications screen, a **Weekly Adherence** percentage shows what proportion of your scheduled doses you have confirmed in the past 7 days.

| Score | Status |
|---|---|
| 80% and above | On track |
| 60-79% | Needs attention |
| Below 60% | Please talk to your care team |

Your care team can see this score and may follow up if adherence drops significantly.
