To print/share a Medications list – or any other section (e.g. Labs, Family Medical History, Conditions etc), you will need to create a report. Once you have created a report, you are free to print/share it. To create a report, follow these instructions:
1. Log in to ZibdyHealth.
2. Go to the Personal Information section.
3. Click on “Create a report”.
4. To print or share a text document, check the “PDF” report type checkbox.
5. Click on the section you want to print or share. For this example, it would be “Medications”. If you only want to include current medications, check the “Current medications only” check box, as well as the “Medications” check box. If you’d like to report old medications you took in the past, leave the current medications only box unchecked. You can select multiple sections to create a more complete report if desired.
For XML/CCD file type see CCD portion of the Help section.
6. Now you can download the PDF file to your computer, or email it to yourself.

These can be family members (spouse, parents, children or siblings) or just about anyone. The associations button allows you to add associations to your account.

There are two types of associations.

An association can be thought of as a “sub-account” – it is an account within your account, so you have complete control of it. This could be useful for a parent managing their child’s health (including following vaccinations schedules) for example, or someone looking after an elderly parent. The association’s medications (including effectiveness and reactions), conditions, vitals and notes can all be added and will appear in the family medical history.

An association is also someone you are linked to in your family. In this case, there are two primary independent accounts linked together to share their medical information. The level of access is based on permissions given to each other. You can also link to accounts which are not in your family – for example to a doctor or other care giver.

Children and dependents can be added using the “Associations” (sub-account) section of ZibdyHealth. To do this, please login to your account and from the “Account” page you need to click on the “Association” button. Once on the association page, please click the  button on the top right corner and then add the person’s name, date of birth and gender and your relationship to them. This will set up a sub-account for your dependent.

You can then add medications and conditions for the dependent, as well as giving feedback on medications for that dependent.

There are 2 ways to do this. Either click on the medication whilst in Medications, and select “Add a reminder”, or in the Account>Reminders, click  button in the top right corner. In the next page, select the medication you want a reminder for”. Specify the details here and click save. The reminder will be added to those listed under “Reminders”.

Only phone alarm reminders on the specific device that you set them. If you’d like to receive phone alarm reminders on multiple devices, you can set reminders for the same account on each preferred device. Email, Text and Phone call reminders can be set for any device.

This is easy with ZibdyHealth. There are 2 ways to do this.

Click on “Reminders” on Account page. Then click on  button at top right corner.

Or

Go to “Medications”, and click on the medication name, then select “Add Reminder”.

In the drop down menu at the top select the medication you need reminders for, if not already selected.

In the Reminder Message box, type the message you want. This will default to the name of the medication followed by “reminder,” but you may want to add some notes, such as “two tablets, with water.”

Select the frequency from the dropdown which defaults to “Daily”. You can change this to “weekly” or “monthly”.

Enter the time of day to take the medication. Clicking the “Add Time” button allows you to add additional times of day for the same medication. For example, you might add 8:00am and 7:00pm for a medication you need to take twice a day.

Reminder verification: You can check this box to verify date and time when you took your medication. This feature will send an email 15 minutes after the reminder to the user to check if they have taken their medication. Simply clicking on “yes” or “no” in email will record the response and there is no need to login to ZibdyHealth.

Select your preferred reminder type(s). You can choose one or all.

Under email, you may want to set a different email address than the default one.

You may also want to set a different phone number than the default one. If you set the reminder up on a notepad or PC, the phone numbers will be blank – this is the place to fill them in.

Click on “Save” and you’re done!

ZibdyHealth allows this.

When you add an email reminder with a medication selected, mark the checkbox with the text “Confirm taking your medication.”. You will receive an email 15 minutes after a reminder which will ask you to confirm taking the medicine. Checking either “Yes” or “No” will inform Zibdyhealth and if your doctor has set up the appropriate account with ZibdyHealth and linked to you, he will be able to see that you are taking your meds as needed, otherwise you can print a report for “Reminder verification” and share with your doctor.

ZibdyHealth offers two options.

If your mother has an independent ZibdyHealth account, you will need to connect with her through our invite function and setup an association then she can set permission for you to add her reminders. These can be a phone alert, a text message, email or a phone call.

If your mother is a sub-account to your primary account, add the reminder for her sub-account, sending emails to her email address, or calls/texts to her phone number.

Remember that a phone alert appears on the device that created it, so you would need your mother’s phone to correctly create the alert.

Deleting reminders with ZibdyHealth is easy. For example , to stop all reminders for Aspirin, go to that Aspirin under Medications, and when you click on the medication you’ll get an option to cancel all reminders. Click “Delete All Reminders” and they are gone. Alternatively, under reminders, click the reminder you want to delete, and when the reminder details appear, click the “Delete” button.

Make a habit to take your medications when you’re reminded. But if you find yourself in a situation where you can’t take the medication immediately, check your recent notifications to see recent reminders or establish another routine to remind yourself to take delayed medications.

Include the specific dosage in the short message text box, when creating a new reminder. This is box is found after the medication name is selected, under reminders.

There are options to do this if the person(s) have an independent ZibdyHealth account, or not. The mixture of both is also possible.

For people who don’t have a ZibdyHealth Account (e.g. children) you can add them as sub-accounts in your account. Please note ZibdyHealth does not allow anyone under age 18 to have an independent account. To add individuals other than yourself to your account, select “Associations” from the main account page. Click  in the upper right-hand corner. It will give you a page to add account details of your association to create a Sub-account. It is an account within your account, so you have complete control of it. This could be useful for a parent managing their child’s health (including following vaccinations schedules) for example, or someone looking after an elderly parent. The association’s medications (including effectiveness and reactions), conditions, vitals and notes can all be added and will appear in the family medical history. Each association has its own account page which has the exact same information as primary account.

Thereafter, if you wish to edit or access information for any of your associations, go to the “Associations” page, and click the specific association for which you are editing information. These associations are sub-accounts to the primary account. The primary account has full access to these sub-accounts and can convert them to independent primary accounts from within the primary account.

Connecting to people who do have an independent account: Invite this person to associate with your account – in your account, click “Invite,” and enter their name, email and relationship to you. This might be a “Patient” – in which case on their account, you will be indicated as “Care Giver”. When they get the email, they need to accept the invite by logging into the account. ZibdyHealth will register the association as well as the relationship automatically. Please remember at this stage you are connected via name only and you won’t have access/view to anything in their account. It’s important that the user(s) you are caring for give permissions to you to manage their account, all the way from simply seeing their account through to controlling it (e.g. adding medications and reminders). You do not have to give them permission to see your data. As a care giver, you will be an association to them, but they will not be given health history or family ADR warnings based on your data, or the other way around.

You can set the exact text for reminders. By default, the text reminder for an association, will specify the association by name. That way, even if you’re managing the medications for two associations who both take the same drug, it’s clear who a reminder is for (i.e. “Lisinopril reminder for Grandpa Gary”). You can include other relevant details in the modifiable text, such as how the drug should be taken (i.e. “take with water”).

Your personal information is protected in the following ways:

(1) Password protection in a secure user account

(2) 256-bit AES-level security encryption, the same level as used by the U.S. government to protect your data.

(3) No data is ever stored on your mobile device or computer so if you lose your device, your ZibdyHealth data will still be safe.

(4) You can set permissions on your data allowing each of your associations the ability to view, edit, add or delete any of your data sections. You can even secure medication privacy to the individual medication level.

Is the UPC symbol very small? Small medication bottles have very small UPC codes. If the UPC code is less than ¾ inch (2 cm) wide, it may not be able to resolve the UPC code. Try scanning the larger UPC symbol on the outer packaging. You can always add UPC code in barcode text field on tablets and desktop PCs. Or enter the medication by accessing the “Medications” page via the user account (or associations) page and enter the medication name manually. Remember, you may only have to enter the first few characters to bring up the full medication name.

Is the camera having a problem with focus? Move the medication slowly back and forth to trigger the camera to refocus on the barcode. If the container is cylindrical or otherwise shaped so that it may not stay in place, try propping it between objects and then attempt to scan. The cameras on certain inexpensive tablets may have trouble scanning barcodes.

Are you scanning in low light conditions? The scanning feature works relatively well in low light, but if you’re scanning in an especially dark place, try turning a light on or moving to a brighter spot.

Something else? Try entering the medication name in manually. From the “Account ” page select “Medications” and click the  button. Remember, once you type in the first few characters, the ZibdyHealth app will bring up a matching list of medications, so you can select from the list to enter the medication rather than type in the full name.

Enter the medication in manually.

If the UPC symbol is on a prescription bottle, then it may correspond to your pharmacy account rather than the drug identity.

Smaller bottles and tubes, may list a different and unrecognized UPC symbol than the one on packaging. In such a case, try the UPC symbol on the packaging.

Enter the medication in manually. If the UPC symbol is on a yellow prescription bottle it may correspond to your pharmacy account rather than the drug identity. Currently our databases contain over 1,347,226 prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs and supplements from across the world, but if you think the medication you are taking is not in our list please follow the information on the screen and add information about your medication.

ZibdyHealth gives 2 basic ways to do this. You can use the “Invite” function to invite members of your family by email to join your private network, adding their relationship to you in the invite. When they get the email, they can set up an account (and download the app), which will automatically be linked to yours.

For children under age 18, and other persons who won’t or can’t use ZibdyHealth including dead relatives, you can add them as associations (sub-account) to your account. You will need to maintain their data – including medications and conditions. This will keep your family medical tree up-to-date.

These can be family members (spouse, parents, children or siblings) or just about anyone. The associations button allows you to add associations to your account.

There are two types of associations.

An association can be thought of as a “sub-account” – it is an account within your account, so you have complete control of it. This could be useful for a parent managing their child’s health (including following vaccinations schedules) for example, or someone looking after an elderly parent. The association’s medications (including effectiveness and reactions), conditions, vitals and notes can all be added and will appear in the family medical history. The “sub-accounts” do not have their own login credentials.

An association is also someone you are linked to in your family. In this case, there are two primary independent accounts linked together to share their medical information. The level of access is based on permissions given to each other.

Children and dependents can be added using the “Associations” (sub-account) section of ZibdyHealth. To do this, please login to your account and from the “Account” page you need to click on the “Association” button. Once on the association page, please click the  button on the top right corner and then add the person’s name, date of birth and gender and your relationship to them. This will set up a sub-account for your dependent.

You can then add medications and conditions for the dependent, as well as giving feedback on medications for that dependent. The dependent’s medical history will then be connected to your entire family network.

By using ZibdyHealth to enter your medical information you are creating your “Medical History” and by connecting with your genetically related relatives, you are building a “Family Medical History”.

Here are some more tips to easily store medical history with ZibdyHealth.

Store your own medical history simply by answering the questions you get when adding a medication, as well as, giving feedback about the medication on medication log page – saying if it worked or not, or if you had a reactions to it.

Store a sub-account’s history by answering same the questions for their “How it is working” page.

As you and your relatives maintain your ZibdyHealth accounts your family network is building a family medical history/tree.

No, ZibdyHealth DOES store a log of all the drugs you record in your account, even after you stop taking them. You can get to this log through Personal Information>Reports, which will allow you to choose which sections you want a report on.

You can use the Invite function to invite members of your family by email to join your network, adding their relationship to you in the invite. When they get the email, they can set up an account with ZibdyHealth (and download the app) which will automatically be linked to your account. It may help you if you alert them to look for an email from “invites@www-dev.zibdy.com”.

ZibdyHealth has extensive drugs databases from most of the world. ZibdyHealth will reconcile different drug names from different countries.

For example – Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the USA is Paracetamol in the UK and Paracetamolo in Spanish speaking countries – ZibdyHealth knows all of these are the same.

On your “Associations” page click the remove button in front of your linked family member’s name, this will remove them from your associations.

An alternative to removing a family association is to change permissions allowed. This is done under the “Permissions” section of your “Account” page. These changes will limit what parts of your medical history your family member can access.

Create an association (sub-account) account for your mother within your account

If you can, get your mother’s medical records and add the details of her medical records – medications, conditions, and any reactions. Once you have her account up and running you can then connect her account to your other relatives through our invite function. This way her details will remain available to your entire family – correctly related via your own relationship to your mother – forever.

“Permissions” appears on your “Account” page only when you are connected to someone by using ZibdyHealth’s invite feature. These association accounts are not your sub-accounts and on your association page these associations have a “Remove” button in front of them. Once again, these associations can be family members or cargivers or just about anyone.

The permissions button allows you to set the level of permissions you want for the other persons. These include being able to see your medications, or the ability to edit your medications, etc. These permissions allow you to tailor what other people can or cannot see or do in your account, and you can do this very specifically. This page will let you set permissions for each section separately such as one can have a different set of permissions for “Personal information” page compared to “Medication” or “Reminder” page.

One can also set different permissions for different people connected (associated) with them. So for example, you may want your spouse to be able to see the details of your medications as well as set reminders for them, but your sibling may be prevented from viewing this data completely. A female may share her medications information generally with all of her family – but keep her birth control meds private from everyone except her mother.

When two users connect they initially can only see each others names on the “Association” page. They next need to grant access to the information in their respective accounts, and the amount and type of information shared can be decided by the user.

P-button or privacy button was developed to give you even more control on what you share so that on medications, notes and genes pages, you can manage permissions at item level rather than section level e.g. you may give your father access to your medication list then decide not to share your “laxative” with him. You can still give “view” access to your caregiver so that caregiver can see it.

So by default P-button is always green which means that if you decide to share medications section with someone in your association list they will get to see all medications where the P-button is green.

A single click on P-button in front of any medication new or old will stop sharing of the medication to all selected associations. After you save this, P-button for that particular medication will turn “red” in color. The P-button will remain “red” while there is at least one person in your association list not allowed to see that particular medication.

If you give everyone in your association “view” permission to the particular medication, P-button will turn “green” again.

There are 3 options.

In the drug store/pharmacy, simply scan the bar code on the medication you are buying – we recommend you do this before you buy. It will check the medication against your current medications list – or the list of the person you are buying it for. ZibdyHealth can then warn you of any interactions even before you buy.

If your device can’t read the barcode, you can enter the barcode manually. Enter all of the barcode even the digits that appear to have the first and last numbers offset – please include them. ZibdyHealth will then proceed to complete the medication addition.

The final method, if the two above still can’t find the medication, is to enter the drug name manually. You can do this either by following the instructions on ZibdyHealth when a scan fails, or by going into the “Medications” section in your account, and clicking the  sign.

On “Add Medication” page you can initiate the scan function if you are working on a mobile device.You can also add drug NDC or UPC or EAN number usually provided by manufacturer on the packaging by typing in the text field to enter the drug to your medication list.

Currently, our database only handles US FDA NDC barcodes, but in the near future you will be able to add drug codes from other countries.

When you have entered the first few letters of your medication, ZibdyHealth will assist you by suggesting medications of the same spelling. Select your medication from the results.

There may be more than one medication with a similar name so carefully select the correct name from the drop down medication list. It will take you to next page where you can you check if the “active ingredients”, “dosage” and “manufacturer” are correct. You can change anyone of these by clicking the drop down for the respective fields. If you do not find the correct information in the drop down then please feel free to type it in. ZibdyHealth application will save it in your account. If you don’t know the right manufacturer, that’s OK. The important thing is to get the correct active ingredients.

Many medications interact with other medications. The severity of an interaction is shown by ZibdyHealth as Mild, Moderate or Major.

Please always contact your doctor or a pharmacist about interactions. We built ZibdyHealth to help you ask informed questions. Certain medications may be prescribed together even though they interact. Discuss this with your doctor.

The list of suggestions supplied automatically are just suggestions – if your illness is not in the list, go ahead and type in your actual illness, and it will be there for later occasions.

You can add more than one medication with the same condition (e.g. Metformin and Byetta for Diabetes), or the same medication for more than one condition (e.g. Tylenol for migraine and toothache).

If there is a manufacturer barcode please try to scan it otherwise type the first few letters of the drug name and our auto-suggest function will show you the list of drugs with similar names in our database. Once you select the drug please follow the next few steps to check the interactions with any other drug you are currently taking and store them in your medication list.

You can also add the drug’s NDC number, this is usually provided by the manufacturer on the packaging. NDC numbers are usually 10 digits, enter these numbers where it says “Enter Drug Code Here”.

This happens when vendors place their own barcodes on items. These pharmacies barcodes are proprietary and these are tied to their internal system. If there is a manufacturer barcode please try to scan it otherwise type the first few letters of the drug name and our auto-suggest function with show you the list of drugs with similar names in our database. Once you select the drug please follow the next few steps to check the interactions with any other drug you are currently taking and store them in your medication list.

If you are unsure of the drug name, the barcode can be entered where it says “Enter Barcode or Drug Code” this is the drug NDC number usually provided by the manufacturer on packaging.

ZibdyHealth will help you with checking drug-to-drug interactions, but you should ALWAYS consult your physician or pharmacist about drug-to-drug interactions. We have an ever expanding database of drugs linked to their barcodes so if you are using ZibdyHealth to manage your health, just scan the manufacturer’s barcode on the medication packaging. ZibdyHealth will identify the medication and once you confirm the medication, ZibdyHealth will check drug interactions and overdose against the medications you are currently taking and it will give you drug-drug interactions in 10-30 seconds. It will display the most severe interaction.

To log results/information for a medication, click on that medication name inside the “Medications” panel, and when you click on the medication you’ll get the option “How it is Working”. Click this and record your comments regarding that medication.

To find out more information for a medication, click on that medication name inside the “Medications” panel, and when you click on the medication you’ll get the option “More Information”. Click this option and ZibdyHealth will take you to a Google search result for the medication in question.

Medications can be shared with your associations, the P button is how you can selectively share this information. When the P button is red, this means that it is private information, but when it is green, all associations that can view medications can see that medication.

The PGx data you have recorded shows an interaction between one of your medications with a gene or mutation you have. Please always contact your doctor or a pharmacist about genetic interactions. We built ZibdyHealth to help you ask informed questions. Certain medications may be prescribed even though they interact, but may need a higher or lower dose. Some medications must be avoided in certain cases. Discuss this with your doctor.

Please follow these steps:

Login and click on Medication button on Account page.

Click on the medication you would like to set reminder, then select “Add Reminder”.” This will take you to the reminder page.

Choose if this is a medication or appointment reminder. Medication reminder is set as default.

Enter the time of day to take the medication, as well as the start date (defaults to current date), and end date – so if you are taking a med for 1 week, if the start date is 1/1/2018, the end date will be 1/8/2018. If you are taking a long term medication indefinitely (e.g. Insulin), your reminders will be set for 90 days. You will need to repeat this process after 90 days.

Select the frequency from the dropdown which defaults to “Daily”. You can change this to “weekly” or “monthly”.

Select your preferred reminder type(s). You can choose one or all.

In the Reminder Message box, type the message you want. This will default to the name of the medication followed by “reminder,” but you may want to add some notes, such as “two tablets, with water.” Click the “+” button to select the medication you need reminders for, if not already selected.

Reminder verification will pop up when a medication is selected for an email reminder: You can check this box to verify date and time when you took your medication. This feature will send an email 15 minutes after the reminder to the user to check if they have taken their medication. Simply clicking on “yes” or “no” in email will record the response and there is no need to login to ZibdyHealth.

Under email, you may want to set a different email address than the default one.

You may also want to set a different phone number than the default one. If you set the reminder up on a notepad or PC, the phone numbers will be blank – this is the place to fill them in.

Click on “Save” and you’re done!

PGx (Pharmacogenomics) is the study of the role of the genome in drug response. Its name (pharmaco- + genomics) reflects the combiningof pharmacology and genomics. Pharmacogenomics analyzes how the genetic makeup of an individual affects his/her response to drugs.

You can enter and view PGx information from Labs/Radiology section. This information will be used to help (alert) you when you add a new medication.

There is currently just 1 way to add your PGx data. Using the report your Testing Lab has supplied, you must enter each Mutation/AI pair. In very near future, you will be able to upload PGx CCDs.

Click on  button on upper right corner of labs page. A pop-up will show up with various options. Select “Genes” from the list and it will take you to right place to add PGx information.

Select the date for your PGx test otherwise ZibdyHealth would use default date of date entered.

You should select the name of your Testing Lab or if your Testing Lab is listed please select “Other”.

Select the Gene. This is required.

For each gene please select mutation from the list if provided. This selection is optional.

Once you have selected the mutation for the gene, select AI (Drug) name your lab asked you to be careful about from the list provided. This is a new evolving field, so no one has a complete verified list of mutation/AI (Drug) pairs. If your mutation or AI (Drug) is not listed please let us know at support@www-dev.zibdy.com. Including the information about testing labs.

Severity is the next optional field to fill in. This is provided by your Testing Lab as a warning how significant each mutation/AI (Drug) pair is. We provide a N.D. (not determined) option if there is no such information provided.

For many mutation/AI pairs, a recommendation will appear in the Recommendation box. This can be accepted, or replaced if your Testing Lab provided a different recommendation. If we do not provide you a default recommendation for mutation/AI (Drug) pair, please go ahead and enter your Testing Lab recommendation for any Mutation/AI pair.

Alternate drug is the next optional field. This information may be provided by your Testing Lab or physician as you may take a different AI (Drug) based on your mutation(s). If alternate drugs appear in the Alternate Drugs text box for a Mutation/AI pair, these can be accepted, or you can change to one suggested by your Testing Lab or physician.

Click save for each PGx record added, and these will be stored for you.

Next time, when you scan or enter a drug with the AI for one of your mutations, you will get a warning in the same section of medications that warns of drug-drug interactions.

Currently (July 2018) there is not. The entire area of genomics is so young that hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) do not currently hold any genomics data. As soon as this changes, we will permit uploading of Genes results from Testing Lab supplied EMRs. We are hoping that testing labs and your physician will soon add PGx information in their CCDs so that you can upload this information directly to you ZibdyHealth account.

If your Testing Lab, physician or hospital would like to work with us to automate this process please ask them to reach out to us at support@www-dev.zibdy.com.

ZibdyHealth allows you to edit or delete any gene information you add. If you click a particular Gene entry, you will see an edit and a delete button appear. On main gene list page, click “Edit” to edit the recommendation. If you need to change anything else (e.g. the mutation /AI pair entered), you’ll need to click the delete button, and re-enter the information correctly.

Currently, ZibdyHealth only permits the addition of pharmacogenomics genes and mutations. This section will be extended later to include other types of genes.

PGx data is important, as certain mutations can make individuals process certain drugs abnormally – either making them very sensitive to a drug, or very insensitive. These situations will change the dosage that individual should take. In certain cases, certain mutations will mean that an individual with that mutation must completely avoid certain medications, and take an alternative. Once you have added your PGx data from your Testing Lab, ZibdyHealth will alert you when you scan a drug, or enter it manually into Medications, for any medication that is known to be impacted by your genetic profile.  Always consult a doctor or pharmacist to ensure safe medication use.

Genomics is so young that genetic information is being discovered all the time -new genes, mutations and AI interactions. The current information is constantly being updated. It is possible that a new report will contain information we don’t currently have. For recommendations and Alternate Drugs, you can add that to your record as described above. For new Genes, Mutations and Mutation/AI pairs, please let us know at support@www-dev.zibdy.com and we will work with you or your Testing Lab to add this new information to our system.

Vaccinations can be recorded by clicking on button “Vaccines” on Account page. There are 4 Vaccine sections.

Scheduled Vaccines: When a parent sets up an association account for their child, that child’s birth date will be automatically used to set up a table of Vaccination dates for them, using the CDC standard vaccines schedule.

In that child’s account, under vaccines, you’ll see the table of vaccines that they should have had by this stage in their life. You can record these vaccines when they are given, or skip them, as appropriate. You can also choose to receive reminders for the child’s vaccinations by clicking the Reminders button in the top right hand corner of the Vaccines page.

Adult Vaccines: These are vaccines commonly taken by adults – so not on the CCD schedule – such as Flu vaccines. You can record these in this section.

Travel Vaccines: When travelling to certain nations, it is advised to take certain travel vaccines. You can record these here.

Re-occurring Vaccines: These are vaccines that need “boosters” occasionally, such as tetanus.

The vaccines will be displayed in RED if they haven’t been recorded as administered yet, GREEN if they have been recorded as administered, or BLUE if they have been skipped
