Managing medications can be difficult, especially when you’re juggling multiple medications, and they’re taken at different times of the day.
In comes Hero’s medication management service. I’ve loved using it because it helps me avoid missed doses, which in turn helps with better outcomes of my diabetes management overall.
Curious to hear what you think, and let me know in the comments if you’d give it a try.

Great review! I’ve had my Hero for 18 months and can’t imagine how I’ve ever lived without it. I had a kidney transplant 2 years ago and I’m on 10 meds. It was a real hassle keeping up with my vigorous pill schedule. I’d constantly forget to take pill here or there, or I’d forget whether I took it already, and risk overdosing.
While this device is pricey, it’s well worth every dollar. I seriously wish they would just sell these devices outright. That’s my only gripe with the machine/service.
Thank u sis..have a blessed week
Nice review. Many thanks!
Thanks so much! My mom is diabetic and medication management is difficult for her. I just ordered this using your code. 🙏🏿
This will be great for my grandfather who has early onset dementia. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for commenting. I really hope it's helpful for you and your family.
Is HERO covered by Medicare/And other Insurance?
I asked this same question again seeing as it wasn't answered nor can o find the answer anywhere
I just got mine!
This is a great idea! Why do we have so much trouble remembering to take the medication we've been taking for so long?? I've even gotten my pills ready to swallow, get distracted, and find them sitting on my desk hours later. I hope this helps cause I need it! Thanks, Mila!
I do the same thing - you're not alone. And let me tell you, this thing does not let you forget lol! Between the push notifications and the notifications from the smart dispenser, it really won't slip your mind! If you give it a try, I'll be excited to hear how it goes for you.
Yes this will help you adhere to your schedule. I’ve had mines for over 18 months and can’t see how I’ve lived without it. The apps gives you your adherence percentage and notifications via the app on your phone and on the device. I’ve had a kidney transplant and take ten meds daily, and was constantly forgetting to take my meds or if I already took them. I’d highly recommend getting this device to manage your condition.
Thank you Mila. Managing my medication can be a hassle. Last night I was trying to work out if I had my Metformin, i couldn't work out if I'd had it. Kept wondering if I should just take another one. Hero would be really handy
That happens to me all the time. I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve skipped doses because I forgot, or just got busy and it slipped my mind in the moment.
Of course you need that Ms. Fancy. That seems to be a really good idea. Very handy for super busy people like yourself. I'm always amazed at what comes out.
Same here! I'd seen it for a while before I tried it out, and I'm really amazed at what tech can do! I didn't go into the story of how Hero was founded, but the founder was a physician who became of caregiver to one of their parents. They created it to make it easier for people to keep track of, and take their medicines. It's a really good idea, and works wonderfully. I've only missed one dose of my medications since using it, and love that it keeps track!
@@TheHangryWoman I was just thinking that would be great for someone taking care of a older parent.
Mila!! This is so great. I had never heard of the Hero but we were just talking to our doctor about a device that would help us take our meds on time. I don't think she knows about the Hero but we're going to sign up for the service and let her know about it. Thank YOU!
I hope y'all enjoy it! It has been really helpful to me so far, and I really appreciate that I don't mix up medicines anymore, or forget to take them.
Same here I did not order my meds on time today so I'm out of meds until tomorrow ..🙄
Does SSDI cover any cost of Hero? What's the cost?
I heard if u unplug machine and then use key to unlock it won’t notify u is this true
I’m not down with a subscription but the idea is cool
And sometimes I have a foggy memory did I take my meds or throw in trash that has happened so many times .. because I take lots of meds day and night...I probably should get it and put it next to coffee maker
That's exactly where ours is! Right on the coffee bar. If we had more room, I'd love for it to go into the bathroom, but I usually take my medicines in the kitchen anyway, so the placement works!
If you give it a try, let me know how you like it.
@@TheHangryWoman I just called them and got some information and they said my doctor can write a script and then they can go from there..so I'm going to see how it goes
@@TheHangryWoman wanted to ask u I have the freestyle 14 day system and it's not accurate as I thought I exfoliate and shower skin really well before applying but it's scary because it's not as accurate as my finger stick ...so I'm confused and worried because I don't like to feel sick and my anxiety kicks in ...I'm on second sensor now and just wondering do u have a suggestion..
Are you obligated to subscribe for a certain amount of time or are you free to cancel at anytime if need be?
I'm wondering is the device for only one person or can it be set up with more than one person
Currently, it was only meant for single person use. I’m not sure if they have updated that.
Was looking for a solution for my Mom, and after seeing this. I'm still looking. $27 a month is totally WTF.
I will say, I wish the subscription cost was way lower, but I’m still using it after all this time and it keeps me on track.
$44/mo!!! 😂😂
@@TheHangryWoman Health is wealth!!
i wish i could ... i'm currently taking 7 pills daily at 3 different times and that 720 upfront cost is just a bit to much. as much as i wish i could get this
They accept Medicare too if you have it
Love the concept , but with the outrageous prices for my meds already I just have to pass
I can understand that completely! Do you mind sharing how you track? I know people read the comments, and it’s always helpful to hear all perspectives.
You're beautiful!!
