and mediteo FAQs.

mediteo is a free medication manager app for iOS, Android and web with the aim of helping you take your medication correctly. The app is available on the App Store and on Google Play Store. We want to help you stay on top of your medication: in just a few steps you can set up your personal medication and their intake times, so that you will be reminded of your intakes on time. Thanks to an integrated leaflet you will also have all important information about your medication, as long as they are included in our medication database.

No, mediteo and all basic functions are free of charge. You can however purchase (in Germany) the medical device mediteo m+ through in-app purchase.

Your data protection is our top priority and core value. Your data is only transmitted in encrypted and anonymized form to our servers, so that it is not possible for us to associate a user with specific medication from our database. If you have any other questions about data security, do not hesitate to contact [email protected] and we will be happy to help you.

In addition to general security measures like locking your smartphone, you can protect mediteo with an additional authentication. If activated, mediteo will ask for your Touch ID/Face ID/Pin every time you open it.

• More → Settings → Use authentication on/off

For data protection reasons, all mediteo data are encrypted. Thus, most backup methods will not work.

Android: System-specific or Google backups cannot restore mediteo’s medical data! Please use a CGM LIFE account with a backup.

iOS:  iCloud backups cannot restore mediteo’s medical data! Please use a CGM LIFE account with a backup or the encrypted iTunes backup. When using iTunes, please make sure to set up a Touch ID or PassCode or to use a password when doing a backup. In accordance to Apple’s security measures, the encryption key to restore our medical data will otherwise not be transferred.

Set up a backup with a CGM LIFE account

To learn how to set up a backup with a CGM LIFE account and restore data on another smartphone, refer to the section “CGM LIFE and AMK” → “How can I create a backup in my account/restore a backup from my account?”

No, mediteo can neither make a diagnosis nor give advice about medication and dosage. Should you have any doubts, we recommend that you always contact a doctor or pharmacist.

In case you have any questions or suggestions for improvements, or if you encountered a problem, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at [email protected] or through the Contact Us form in the app under More → Contact us → Submit.

We look forward to your feedback!

CGM is an electronic health record, in which your medical data is saved cryptographically, so that only you can access it.

The user is not required to create a specific mediteo account, but can use mediteo in combination with this electronic health record.

The advantage of connecting mediteo with your CGM LIFE account is that medication prescribed by participating doctors or handed out by participating pharmacists is directly shown in mediteo, so that it takes just one click to set up the corresponding reminders. In addition, you can keep track of your medication on several devices and access your data in case you lose your device or buy a new one – all this without any compromise on your privacy.

If you take part in the ARZNEIMITTELKONTO (AMK) NRW project, you can use mediteo to easily access your personal Arzneimittelkonto. To do this, log in with your AMK credentials on the Welcome page or Profile page. All treatments prescribed by your family doctor will automatically be assigned to your account, as well as all treatments prescribed by specialists or handed out by pharmacists to whom you granted access to your account.

No, you neither have to create an account, nor specify any personal data in your profile. The profile section allows you however to personalize mediteo. An account has also further advantages such as synchronization and backup.

In both cases, no personal data from your account or profile will of course be stored in mediteo.

On the profile page you have the possibility to specify your name and birthday and upload a profile picture. If you logged in with an account, this will be used for your profile information.

Create:

• An empty profile will automatically be created for you. You cannot currently add any further profiles.

Edit (if not logged in):

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → “Edit” symbol (top right)

Delete:

• The profile itself cannot be deleted. You can of course delete the data. If you delete mediteo, your profile will also be deleted.

You can manage your CGM LIFE account directly in the “Profile” section of mediteo. If you have a CGM LIFE account, your data (e.g. name, date of birth, …) will be transferred to your profile in mediteo.

Create:

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → Register → Fill out the form → You will receive an email from CGM LIFE → Click on the confirmation link to create your account → Back to your mediteo profile → Connect to CGM LIFE → Enter your access data → Log in

Edit personal data:

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → Profile → Edit symbol (top right) → Edit the data in the profile → Save

Edit e-mail address: 

• Starting from version 4.11.0, if you are logged in to your CGM LIFE account → “Profile” symbol (top left) → CGM LIFE security settings → Change e-mail address / CGM LIFE ID

Delete:

• Starting from version 4.11.0, if you are logged in to your CGM LIFE account → “Profile” symbol (top left) → CGM LIFE security settings → Delete CGM LIFE ID
• Up to and including version 4.10.0:  Send us an email to [email protected] with your CGM LIFE ID (e-mail address), the birthday you used in your account and the request to delete your account. We will then forward your request to CGM LIFE accordingly. 

Your account is stored in the profile section in mediteo. Currently you can only be logged in with one account at a time.

Log in:

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → Connect → Insert data → Log in

Log out:

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → “Log out” symbol (top right)

If you are logged in with an account (CGM LIFE or AMK), the synchronization takes place automatically at regular intervals or whenever you restart mediteo. You can also manually start the synchronization (on the page Treatments → Scroll all the way to the top → Pull down to refresh).

Please note that only treatments, profile and network can currently be synchronized. My Diary values can be synchronised starting from version 4.12.0. All personal data about intakes and measurements will remain on the device. We suggest that you pick a device on which you manage your intakes and measurements.

In case complete synchronization is a function which you think cannot be missing, let us know by sending us a message through the Contact Us form in the app or to [email protected].

If you are logged in with an account (CGM LIFE or AMK), a backup will automatically be created at regular intervals. You can change this setting as desired. A backup is a copy of all data. Currently only iOS backups can be restored on iOS and only Android backups can be restored on Android.

Create:

• More → Settings → Backup→ Create

Restore:

• More → Settings → Backup → Restore → Select backup

Starting from version 4.11.0, many of the CGM LIFE settings can be edited directly on mediteo. 

If you have access to your CGM LIFE account with your current password but want to change it: 

• Starting from version 4.11.0, if you are logged in to your CGM LIFE account → “Profile” symbol (top left) → CGM LIFE security settings → Change password 

In case you forgot your password and want to reset it: 

• “Profile” symbol (top left) → Connect to CGM LIFE → Enter your e-mail adress → “Forgot your password?”
• you may also be asked to enter a super pin (highest protection)
• You will then receive a link to change your password at the e-mail address you have provided. If you have set a security question, you will have to answer it first
• If you are requested to enter a SUPER-PIN, this means that the highest protection is activated for your account. If you no longer have a SUPER-PIN, you will no longer be able to access your data for security reasons. In this case, you can send us an email to [email protected] with your CGM LIFE ID (e-mail address), the date of birth you used in your account and the request to delete your account. If you want to use the same e-mail address for a new registration in CGM LIFE, please also specify this in your e-mail. We will then forward your request to CGM LIFE accordingly. 

For security reasons, you have to log in regularly to your CGM LIFE account. By default, you will need to log in once a day. If you prefer, you can activate the option “Keep me signed in for 30 days”, so that you will need to enter your password only once every 30 days. This is how it works: 

• When logging in, enter your e-mail address (CGM LIFE ID) and your password
• Tick the box “Stay logged in for 30 days”
• Tap on “Log in”

This option only works if your device is protected with a password, pattern, Touch ID or Face ID. If your device is not protected yet, please set up a protection in your device’s settings. 

If you are generally unable to log in, this may be due to several reasons:

• Your account creation has not been completed. You should have received an email to complete the process.
• Your password is wrong. Verify directly on CGM if you can log in there (https://de.cgmlife.com/accountportal/login) and reset the password if necessary.
• You have no internet connection. Please restore it.
• CGM LIFE is temporarily unavailable. Should this be the case for longer and none of the reasons above apply, please contact [email protected].

If the synchronization always fails, this may be due to several reasons:

• Your password is stored incorrectly or has been changed. Log out once and log in again.
• You have no internet connection. Please restore it.
• You have data in your account which mediteo cannot read. Verify if you can log in on our web application (https://app.mediteo.com/en/login). If it works on there, please contact [email protected].
• CGM LIFE is temporarily unavailable. Should this be the case for longer and none of the reasons above apply, please contact [email protected].

On mediteo you can add any medication in order to receive the corresponding reminders, monitor your current supply and always keep clear, relevant information quickly at hand at all times.

mediteo offers you a wide range of possibilities. You can enter most of them directly when adding the medication (see How can I add/edit/stop/delete my medication?). You will find a few in the Tab Treatments after adding the treatments.

The following information must be specified:

• Name (with manufacturer and active substances)
• Long-term medication with intake reminder (days, times & quantity) or as needed medication without reminder
• Start and end date of the treatment
• Appearance with form and color

We also offer the following optional possibilities:

• Current supply with automatic refill reminder
• Notes and pictures
• Leaflet and package information

You can resume any stopped treatment. A copy is created in this process, and the stopped entry is therefore retained for your documentation. This way you can also temporarily pause treatments and resume them later.

• Treatments → “History” tab → Choose treatment → Resume treatment (you may have to scroll)

mediteo allows you to add any kind of treatment. Whether prescribed medication or a simple reminder to drink enough water – this is completely up to you. For the medication saved in our database, we set up an automatic recognition. As soon as you type the name of the medication you want to add, the available hits will be suggested, so that you can easily and quickly choose the right one. You can also of course add your own treatments, if for example they are not available in the database or if they require individual specifications.

There are no limits to the number of treatments you can add.

Should you receive no suggestions when typing the name of your medication, you have the possibility to add the medication manually. To do this, tap on the option “Add it anyway”, which will directly appear below the search bar. You can also contact us at [email protected] if your medication or the required settings for it are not available. Please note however that we currently have only German, Italian and French medication in our database.

You will find all intakes in your Daily. There you can confirm them, but also edit them individually and adjust the right time and dosage. You can also adjust past intakes afterwards and set future intakes in a flexible way.

Add (two possibilities):

• Daily → “Plus” symbol (iOS top right, Android bottom left) → New intake → Select treatment → Insert data → Add intake
• Only for as needed medication, only iOS: Treatments → Tap on the medication → Add single intake → Insert data → Add intake

Edit (only intakes which are not marked in green):

• Daily → Tap on intake → “…” symbol (More) → Edit this intake → Change dosage → Save

Delete (only intakes which are not marked in green):

• Daily → Tap on intake → “…” symbol (More) → Delete this intake → Delete
