Online appointment booking and directory service HealthEngine has released a new medication management service embedded within the HealthEngine app, which will allow patients to monitor their medications and be prompted to book an appointment with their GP for a repeat script.

Called Medication Manager, the opt-in service allows patients to get reminders when to take their prescribed doses and share information on their reactions to the medications with their GP, and practices will be able to synchronise with the app so prescriptions will be automatically added.
