Med-call is an Android based application in which an alarm ringing system is implemented. This app concentrates on medicine dosage timings of patient. It reduces effort of patients of remembering of dosages timings as they can set an alarm on their dosages timing. The alarm can be set for so many medicines and multiple timings considering date, time and medicine description. A notification will be sent to the patients through message. In this app patient will be able to store prescription given by the doctor. Also the users can add expiry date of the medicines. It focuses on good user interface. Many medicine reminder systems have been developed before where a new hardware is required but our app can be downloaded in any smart phone. In our work we have made an attempt to develop a system which is time saving and helpful for patients.
