Scan the bottle,
or just say the name.
Say My Meds identifies your medication and tells you, in plain language and in your language, what to take, when to take it, and what to watch for. Then it reminds you.
From Repp Medical. Founded by a physician.
Scan or speak
Point your phone at the label, or say the name of the medication out loud. Either way works.
Hear it in plain language
What it is, how much to take, when to take it, and what to watch for. Said out loud, in words you can act on.
Get reminded, and let family help
Say My Meds keeps your schedule, reminds you when a dose is due, and keeps track of what you've taken. If you want, invite a family member or caregiver to see it too.
Three steps, and none of them involve reading the label.
Say My Meds is built for the moment you're standing at the counter with a bottle in your hand and a question. It answers the question.
Scan the label, or say the name.
Hold the bottle up to your phone's camera, or tap the button and say what you're holding, in English for now. Say My Meds finds the medication.
Hear what it is and when to take it.
How much, how often, with food or without, and what to watch for. Spoken clearly, and shown on screen in large type if you'd rather read.
Get reminded, and ask again any time.
Say My Meds keeps your schedule and reminds you when a dose is due. Nine o'clock at night, no one to call. Ask again and get the same clear answer, in your language, as many times as you need.
Made for the people who have the hardest time with the label.
Most medication apps assume you can read a label, hear a reminder, and manage in English. The people managing the most medications often can't do all three. Say My Meds was designed for them first.
- Low vision. Everything is spoken. Nothing depends on reading small print.
- Hearing loss. Everything spoken is also shown, in large clear type.
- Limited literacy. Plain words, one instruction at a time, no leaflet.
- Seven languages at launch. Choose your language once in Settings and Say My Meds reads everything to you in it. Speaking to the app in your own language comes in the next release.
- Several medications at once. Each one identified and explained on its own, with reminders for each.
- Family and caregivers. Invite someone you trust to see your medications and schedule. You choose who, and you can stop it any time.
Most of what a patient hears at discharge is gone by the time they get home.
Patients leave the hospital with self-care instructions, follow-up appointments, and medication changes, at the moment they're least able to take it in. What they miss shows up later as missed doses, wrong doses, and a trip back to the hospital.
of the medical information patients are told is forgotten right away, and nearly half of what they do remember is wrong.

hospital readmissions is drug-related, and most of those are judged preventable.
a year in unplanned rehospitalizations, paid by Medicare alone.
Under the CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, hospitals lose Medicare payment for excess readmissions in conditions like heart failure, where staying well depends on taking medication every day. In one heart failure study, how closely patients took their medication predicted who ended up back in the hospital.5
Why patients don't take it as prescribed
- They don't understand it. A new diagnosis, a new list, and details they can't keep straight.
- Side effects. They stop because of how it makes them feel, or as soon as they feel better.
- Cost. Some patients can't afford it.
- Getting it. Pharmacy stock, insurance denials, and prior authorizations delay the first fill and the refills.
- Mental health. Non-adherence is especially common, and especially costly, in behavioral health.
- Transportation. Getting to the pharmacy is out of reach for some.
Where Say My Meds fits
Cost, coverage, and supply still need the care team. Say My Meds handles the part that happens at home, after everyone else has gone.

Deploy Say My Meds to your patients, under your name.
Say My Meds is built to be delivered through hospitals, health plans, and partner platforms to the patients they already serve. Your patients get the app. You get a way to reach them after discharge, in their language, when adherence actually fails.
Founded by a physician who spent more than twenty years watching capable patients struggle with medication they fully intended to take.
Dr. Cori Repp co-founded Repp Medical to solve that problem from the clinical side. The problem was rarely willingness. It was instructions people couldn't read, schedules they couldn't keep track of, and no one to ask. Read the founding story at Repp Medical.
What people ask before they download it.
- What is Say My Meds?
- Say My Meds is a medication app from Repp Medical Inc. You scan the prescription label or say the name of the medication, and it tells you what it is, how much to take, when to take it, and what to watch for, out loud and in plain language.
- Does it work if I can't read the label?
- Yes. That is the reason it exists. You can say the name instead of scanning, and everything it tells you is spoken as well as shown in large type.
- Does it work in languages other than English?
- Yes. Choose your language once in Settings, and Say My Meds shows and reads your medication instructions in it. Seven languages are available at launch, including Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Russian, and Chinese. At launch you speak to the app in English; speaking to it in your own language comes in the next release.
- Does it replace my doctor or pharmacist?
- No. Say My Meds explains the instructions you have already been given. It does not change them, and what it tells you is not medical advice. If something it tells you does not match what your doctor or pharmacist said, follow them and ask.
- Can a family member or caregiver help me with it?
- Yes. From the app you can invite a family member or caregiver to see your medications and schedule. They only see what you agree to share, and you can turn it off in the app's settings whenever you want.
- What does it do with my information?
- It uses your medication information to identify your medications, keep your schedule, and remind you. Repp Medical does not sell it. You can delete your account and your information from inside the app, or by writing to us. Our Privacy Policy explains the details.
