Setting Up Reminders
VitalSync supports four types of smart reminders, each designed to keep a different part of your health routine on track. All reminders are delivered as local push notifications — no account or internet connection required.
The Four Reminder Types
| Reminder Type | What It Does | Article |
| 💊 Medication Dose | Fires at your scheduled dose time(s) each day | Medication Dose Reminders |
| 🏥 Doctor Appointment | One-time or recurring appointment alerts | Doctor Appointment Reminders |
| 🔄 Medication Refill | Alerts you when a prescription is running low | Medication Refill Reminders |
| 💉 Next Immunization Dose | Fires 7 days and 1 day before a vaccine is due | Immunization Reminders |
How to Enable Notifications

Managing All Reminders

Reminder Delivery
All reminders are delivered as local notifications — they are scheduled on your device and fire even when you are offline. VitalSync never sends your health data to a server to trigger a notification.
Tip: If a reminder is not appearing, check that VitalSync has notification permission and that your iPhone is not in Focus mode with VitalSync excluded.
