A quick search for “medications” in the App Store reveals hundreds of solutions for keeping tabs on when meds should be taken, but when watchOS 9 arrives this fall, it will include a new Medications app that tracks everything from prescriptions to vitamins to supplements. Users can simply add a medication to the app by photographing its bottle’s label using the iPhone’s camera, and from there they can set up schedules and reminders, view additional information about what they’re taking (including potential side effects with other drugs), and log when a pill has been taken, to help prevent accidental double-dosages.
