Set up medication and appointment reminders for a parent
Family agents can remind an older parent about medication and book routine appointments, with the family kept in the loop.
What the bot does
- Sends medication reminders at set times.
- Asks for a quick “done” reply and tells the family if there's no reply.
- Books routine appointments, like the dentist, after a family member approves.
- Keeps a simple log.
What you end up with
Reminders that actually reach Mum or Dad, and a family that knows they did.
