A Prescription Dosage Scanner / Reminder App

One of the biggest problems with prescription drugs today is that a large percentage of drugs are either not taken, or taken at the wrong time. Sometimes, it's fatal.
So, you just got back from the drug store. You've got three bottles. Take one from this bottle every 4 hours, another one from that bottle every 6 hours, and one from the third bottle 3 times a day.... Oh, and don't forget to sleep. Got that?
Does this sound familiar? It's no wonder so many people either forget to take their medication, or take it at the wrong time. Can you blame them? With so many bottles, each one with their own schedule and dosage, who can keep track of them, especially when they're already sick?
Why not have an App that can scan a barcode, then automatically schedule and remind you of all the doses?
All they need is to embed the drug information, and dosage information into a QR code, then let you scan it when you get home.
What could be simpler than to just relax and let the App tell you when to take your next pill?
Actually, here's an even easier option. Since you got all the bottles from the same drug store, the Drug Store could download the schedule into an App without even scanning. Either way, the main objective is to insure people don't forget to take their medication.
