For thousands and thousands of Americans who are on daily medication regimes it can get difficult to remember when to take their meds and if they took the medication. Verizon wireless announced a new application today aimed at making remembering to take life saving medications easier.

The application is called Pill Phone and is a mobile version of the medication reference guide The Pill Book. The Pill Phone application is a Verizon Wireless exclusive and in addition to giving reference information and images of all sorts of medications it can also provide dosing reminders right on the phone.

"The Pill Phone helps our customers leverage technology to manage their health by providing educational information and dosage reminders," said Mark Bartolomeo, vice president of enterprise data sales for Verizon Wireless. "Our health and wellness conscious customers want to be able to access important health information and The Pill Phone can serve as a valuable resource to help them access this information while on-the-go."
