Managing medications for a child, elderly parent or other family member you care for is easier when everything is in one place, separate from your own record. The Looms Family Hub allows you to maintain a full medicines list for each person you look after.
Adding medications to a family member's profile
- Go to Family Hub and open the family member's profile
- Tap the Medications tab
- Tap + Add medication
- Enter the drug name, dose, frequency and the prescribing doctor
- Set the start date and end date if it's a course
- Add the prescribing clinic
- Tap Save
Setting dose reminders for a family member
Once a medication is added, you can enable dose reminders that fire on your own device — useful when the family member is in your care. For a guide to managing your own medications and reminders, see setting up medication reminders and medication adherence.
- Open the medication from the family member's profile
- Tap Add reminder
- Set the dose time(s) to match the prescription instructions
- Choose whether reminders fire on your device, the family member's device (if they have their own account linked), or both
Marking doses taken
- When a reminder fires, tap Mark as taken to log the dose
- If a dose is missed, tap Skip — this is recorded for the adherence log
- The adherence calendar shows the full dose history for that medication
Sharing the medication list
When the family member attends an appointment, you can share their medication list from the profile via a time-limited link — useful when you can't attend the appointment yourself and want the clinic to have an up-to-date list.
