The new Humana Pharmacy app allows members to receive reminders to refill prescriptions and track prescription orders on their Apple Watches.
Later this year, Humana plans to add a feature to the app that reminds members to take their medication.
Additionally, Humana has updated its Humana Pharmacy app for iPhones. App users can view information safety videos about their medications, use the phone's camera to scan medication barcodes to request refills and take photos of medication to transfer the prescription from a retail pharmacy to Human pharmacy.
"Our new Apple Watch app makes managing medications and adhering to medication therapy easier than ever before," said William Fleming, president of Humana Pharmacy Solutions. "For people managing multiple daily medications, these tools can make a real difference in helping our members optimize their drug therapy and achieve their best health."
