Another day goes by and another Windows Phone 7 application pops-up. This one is called Pillbox ans is an open-source (yes!) application that helps users track the médications and interface directly with Microsoft’s HealthVault. The application only took two weeks to be developed.
With Pillbox, you can check off when medications are taken, and easily get more details on those prescriptions. You’ve got easy easy access to contact information for the doctors and caregivers in your social circle. You can even leave notes about a patient for doctors and other caregivers. All of this data would be stored and shared across multiple devices using Microsoft HealthVault.
As a general rule for good user experience, we tried to avoid lengthy data entry on the phone. Prescriptions, schedules, and contacts in Pillbox would all be set up in HealthVault on a desktop computer.
Head over here for a video demo and grab the source code right now. See, this what Microsoft is aiming for with Windows Phone 7’s launch this fall; a boatload of applications.
