October 6th, 2011 – In spite of health care providers’ best efforts, patients forget to take their medication, take the wrong dosage, or take their medication at the wrong time. Even with explicit instructions at the doctor’s office, in the hospital, or with a home management method, medication noncompliance still occurs.
Studies show that drug noncompliance costs the country billions of dollars each year as a result of re-hospitalization, complications, disease progression and even death.
In the year 2000, the annual costs of drug-related illness and death in ambulatory care settings alone were estimated at more than $177 billion. The most common types of medication misuse include:
- Taking the incorrect dose
- Taking a dose at the wrong time
- Forgetting to take a dose
- Stopping medicine too soon

The company is led by Founder, Pamela Swingley – a seasoned software executive with more than 20 years of experience working with technology companies of all sizes. Pam has a passion for early stage companies. She has managed marketing strategy and programs for three successful startups: Onlink Technologies which was acquired by Siebel, Shoplink Collision Estimating, a division of ADP, and Gate58 Marketing, a leader in B2B lead generation. In 2005, she founded Savvy Internet Marketing, a consulting firm specializing in online marketing, website design and usability.
One of the most intriguing reasons we chose to profile Rememberitnow! is the story behind why the company was founded in the first place. Swingley founded RememberItNow! to help her father, and patients of all ages with all types of illnesses, stay healthier by remembering to take their medications. Because of the inspiration of Swingley’s father, RememberItNow! Is one of the best ways to take control of your health or the health care of someone you love.
