mediteo suggests app features and contents which might be useful for you in the section “More” in “My news”. In addition, notifications and banners will inform you about news which might be of interest to you. It is possible to activate and deactivate these notifications.
Activate/deactivate notifications about news you have received:
- More → Settings → News type → On/Off
Please read the FAQs in the section “valuable information” to find out why you receive certain news in mediteo.
mediteo does not currently offer any specific app for Smart Watches. You can however receive reminders on the AppleWatch and directly confirm your intakes. You have to grant the authorizations on your WatchApp, not on mediteo. (More information about this on the Apple website https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/welcome/watchos)
Currently, reminders always pop up at the same local time of the day. This means that your morning intake at 9:00 pops up in New York at 9:00 local time as well. Please verify your times and their accuracy.
mediteo uses a short, discreet standard sound for all reminders. You can however customize this.
Activate/Deactivate:
- More → Settings → Reminders → Sound for notifications on/off
Change (sound):
- More → Settings → Reminders → Ringtone → Choose new ringtone
Change (volume):
- The volume is not managed by mediteo, it is controlled by your smartphone.
- Therefore pay attention that you do not turn off the sound of your smartphone or set your smartphone to Silent or Do not disturb mode.
mediteo shows by default the names of the medication in the reminder so that you save time and effort. This way you will receive all information without having to open the app. If you are more concerned about privacy, you can of course customize this:
Show/Hide:
- More → Settings → Show medication name on/off
If you generally do not receive notifications or these are only sent when the app is open, this is mainly due to the following wrong settings:
Android
In order to reliably receive notifications on your Android device, you must allow mediteo to run in the background. This permission is requested the first time the app is opened. Depending on the brand of your Android device, different settings may be required to enable you to receive notifications regularly. Below you will find a list of the most common device brands. Please note that the instructions described here may change over time. For the latest information, please refer to the producer’s instructions for your device.

Further possibilities
If none of the above-mentioned steps result in functioning reminders, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected], specifying your exact device model.
If you think you receive too many reminders, check the following steps:
- Check the settings for recurring reminders:
- More → Settings → Reminders → Recurring reminders
- If you receive reminders about treatments which are not planned, verify whether they are marked on the daily. It may be possible that you snoozed or added them or that the therapy plan was set up incorrectly.
Moreover, the following applies to Android devices:
- If you do not react to the first reminder, you will receive another one 10 minutes later. This way we want to help you to always remember your daily plan on time.
- If you always completely close mediteo (instead of only letting the app run in the background), it is possible that the second reminder had not been removed fast enough and therefore appears 10 minutes later, even though you had already reacted to the first reminder.
If you think you do not receive enough reminders, check the following settings:
- If you do not always receive intake reminders which are planned, please verify whether they are marked on the Daily. It may be possible that you snoozed or removed them or that the therapy plan was set up incorrectly.
- Depending on different system settings (not on mediteo), reminders are grouped together. Then you will only be shown a stack.
- Depending on system settings (not on mediteo), reminders are removed from the notification center when you open mediteo.
- If your device is turned off when you are supposed to receive a reminder and you turn it back on later (usually after an hour or more), you will no longer receive the notification in question.
Moreover, the following applies to iOS devices:
- If you always only close mediteo completely (instead of letting the app run in the background) and never open it, it may be possible that reminders cannot be planned on time.
If none of the above-mentioned steps result in functioning reminders, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
No, all reminders are stored on mediteo. As long as you granted mediteo the access to your notifications (iOS) or the authorization to ignore your battery optimization (Android), you will also receive reminders when the app is closed or you are not connected to the internet.
mediteo sends you different reminders depending on different settings, which open the app on the right page when you tap on it. Moreover, most of the reminders offer direct actions which are frequently used. The following is a detailed explanation of how reminders work for iOS and Android operating systems.
<br>iOS:
<br>Intake reminder:
- For every intake/measurement reminder/appointment reminder on the Daily you will receive a reminder at the set time.
- You can confirm the intake directly through direct action (press and hold on the notification or swipe it to the left and then select the desired option) or you can postpone it through the snooze function.
Recurring reminders:
- These reminders appear when an intake or reminder has not yet been confirmed.
- Up to and including version 4.9.0: If you do not confirm the reminder within 10 minutes, you will receive a second reminder once.
- Up to version 4.10.0: If you would like to receive additional notifications in case you have pending entries (e.g. an unconfirmed intake), you can edit the following in the settings:
- More → Settings → Reminders → Recurring reminders → Only intakes OR All entries (not only intake reminders but also measurement and appointment reminders).
- If there are any pending entries in mediteo, you will receive through this function additional notifications after 10, 30, 60, 100 and 150 minutes since the first reminder was received.
Group reminders:
- If you have more than one intake scheduled for the same time, you have the option of receiving only one reminder rather than several. You can enable group reminders in the settings:
- More → Settings → Reminders → Group reminders → on
Refill reminder:
- If you are monitoring your supply, you will receive a reminder when a medication supply is running low. If you do not refill the medication or ignore the reminder, you will receive a reminder again on the following day.
- You can open the current supply through direct action or temporarily turn off further reminders for that supply.
Appointment reminder:
- You will receive a reminder in advance for every appointment on your Daily. You will set the exact time for every appointment.
Measurement reminder:
- For every measurement on the Daily you will receive a reminder at the set time.
Android:
<br>Intake reminder:
- For every intake/measurement reminder/appointment reminder on the Daily you will receive a reminder at the set time. If you do not confirm the reminder within 10 minutes, you will receive a second reminder once.
- You can confirm the intake directly through direct action or you can postpone it through the snooze function.
Recurring reminders:
- These reminders appear if an intake or reminder has not yet been marked as taken on mediteo even after the additional reminder 10 minutes later.
- Up to version 4.7.0: If you would like to receive additional notifications in case you have pending entries (e.g. an unconfirmed intake), you can edit the following in the settings:
- More → Settings → Reminders → Recurring reminders → Only intakes OR All entries (not only intake reminders but also measurement and appointment reminders).
- If there are pending entries in mediteo, you will receive additional notifications after the second reminder approximately every 30 minutes and up to a maximum of 12 hours.
- Please note that using this function leads to a higher battery consumption for some devices.
