Real Families, Real Care

Noura moved to Toronto for work five years ago. Her mother, Um Fahad, lives alone in Riyadh and takes blood pressure medication twice daily plus diabetes medication after meals. Noura used to call every morning and evening to remind her mother, but missed calls and time zone differences made it stressful for both of them.

Now Noura uses Dawai as her family medication monitoring app. She set up her mother's medication schedule with photos of each pill box, recorded voice reminders in Arabic for every dose, and added her brother Fahad as another family member. If Um Fahad misses a dose, both Noura and Fahad get alerts instantly — no more anxious calls across time zones.

Abu Ahmad is 73 years old and lives in Jeddah. He manages Type 2 diabetes with three daily medications, each at different times. His son Ahmad works in Dubai, and his daughter Maryam lives in Riyadh. They were worried about their father taking medication on time — especially the insulin that must be taken 30 minutes before meals.

Both Ahmad and Maryam can see their father's medication adherence in real-time through Dawai's family monitoring dashboard. They track his vitals — blood sugar readings, blood pressure — and generate PDF health reports to share with his doctor during checkups. The elderly care app turned what was a daily worry into peace of mind for the whole family.

When grandmother Hessa had knee replacement surgery, she came home with 7 different medications — pain relievers every 6 hours, antibiotics three times daily, blood thinners once daily, and supplements. Her daughter Sarah, son Khalid, and daughter-in-law Fatima needed to coordinate who would check on her and when, especially since the medication schedule was complex.

Sarah set up all medications with photos so anyone helping Hessa could identify the right pills. Each caregiver recorded personal voice reminders — Hessa heard Sarah's voice for morning meds, Khalid's for afternoon, and Fatima's for evening. The pill reminder app with family monitoring meant that even when no one was physically present, Hessa was never alone in managing her recovery medications.
