Last summer, I heard about an author from Indiana University Maurer School of Law looking for stories about women reinventing their careers. As soon as I heard this I immediately contacted the author, Caroline-Dowd Higgins, and shared the story of Pam’s transition from a marketing software executive, to caregiver, to Founder and CEO of RememberItNow! You can also watch Pam’s story here.
After learning about how Pam created RememberItNow! to help her father and millions of others take control of their health , Professor Higgins decided to profile Pam in her new book, “This Is Not the Career I Ordered: 52 Ways to Reignite, Reinvent and Recharge Your Work and Your Life.”
RememberItNow’s participation is part of a review by the States of the leading medication management technologies and services from industry leaders and top performers.
ORINDA, Calif. - August 11, 2010 - RememberItNow! recently demonstrated their patient-centric medical adherence software to the Tennessee U.S. Office of eHealth Initiatives as part of an extensive enterprise medication management request for information (RFI)
The RFI is being led by the state of Tennessee Office of eHealth Initiatives (OEHI), with participation by Alabama, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Information obtained through this RFI will be shared among participating states to encourage complimentary development of services across multiple states. (more…)
We recently heard from one of our customers about how much she loves RememberItNow! medication reminders. Her enthusiasm was so contagious, we had to share.
Sharon lives near Sacramento, California with her five children and loving husband, Jim. Sharon and Jim keep a pretty tight schedule balancing full-time jobs and family duties. (more…)
RememberItNow! eHealth service helps lessen the impact of caregiving from the office with new software features that increase employee productivity and provide peace of mind.
Orinda, CA - June 30, 2010- RememberItNow! LLC announced today new additions to their eHealth service, making long-distance care easier.
According to a 2009 study by AARP, over seven in ten caregivers were employed at some time when caregiving. Among them, two-thirds have gone in late, left early, or taken time off to deal with caregiving issues. That means 66% of caregivers are struggling to find a balance between work and care. (more…)
As we all know, managing your medication is no fun. Or as our CEO, Pam Swingley’s father likes to say, “taking your pills is no thrill”. But what if software actually could make it a bit more fun - and you could get encouragement from your friends to remember your medicine and improve your health?
If you haven’t noticed already, websites and software solutions have been becoming more “fun”. For example if you compare the personal finance tool, Quicken from the 1990’s, to Mint.com of today, you’ll notice their differences. Mint contains more pleasing attributes – esthetically and in its usability. Quicken is…well, a bit boring. After Mint came along most of us were surprised managing finances was a little fun and easier than expected.
Our goal is to make taking control of your health a little fun too. There is no rule that says it should feel like a chore. Besides, if RememberItNow! can make it as easy and fun as possible to take your medications, you’ll learn to remember them and improve your health!
We agree with Jonathan Richman of DigitalDose.com, who plainly states, “Humans learn by playing…Somewhere along the way though, we stop playing and stop learning.”
With that in mind, our crafty product development folks are working on a point system to reward you for your steps toward good health. We want to make RememberItNow! really engaging, and can only make it close to perfect with your feedback.
So, please share what kind of game incentives you’d like to see. Or maybe you’d just like to share your thoughts on adding social media and gaming elements to RememberItNow! Do you have some creative insight you’d like to contribute? Please do! We’re listening.
I don’t think there is a single startup founder that hasn’t wondered, “Do we have what it takes to succeed?” Late at night, or after an analyst call I ask myself that very question.
It’s why I watched this video from Richard St. John (from TED) on the qualities it takes to succeed — three times. Turns out RememberItNow! is on the right track. Talk to us and you’ll discover plenty of passion. We certainly don’t do this for the money. And we ignore all the C.R.A.P. (criticism, rejection, assholes, and pressure).
It’s fun, fast, and from my experience, very true.

As a recent graduate of Saint Mary’s College in May of ’09, I remember being so excited this fall to receive my first issue of the SMC magazine.
Pam received her MBA in the 1990’s (I’m not allowed to say exactly when), but I always read her copy or my parents’ if I could get my hands on it.
The prestigious St. Mary’s Magazine is only published four times a year and is always filled with inspirational alumni stories and exciting Gael updates.
My favorite section of the magazine is “Gael Glimpses” because it displays the more personal side of alumni. And, it selectively announces the successful updates of outstanding former Gaels.
After many submissions, guess who finally made the cut in the Winter issue?! Yours truly; our RememberItNow! team made it into Gael Glimpses. Get the sneak peek here.
