Send Multi-Channel Medication Reminders to Patients

This n8n workflow streamlines patient medication adherence by monitoring a Google Sheets 'Prescriptions' sheet for entries marked 'sent'. It filters new unscheduled prescriptions, automatically generates reminder schedules based on dosage frequency (1-4 times/day) and duration, saves them to a 'Reminders' sheet, and marks prescriptions as processed to avoid duplicates.

A cron trigger runs every 10 minutes to fetch all scheduled reminders, identify those due now, and send simultaneous notifications via WhatsApp and email. Sent reminders are logged and updated to prevent resending, providing full traceability.

Benefits include improved patient compliance, reduced no-shows for refills, and actionable insights for providers through detailed logs. It saves hours of manual scheduling and follow-ups, ideal for clinics, pharmacies, or telehealth services managing multiple patients.

Use cases: Automate reminders for chronic care, post-surgery regimens, or vaccination series. Simple setup with Google Sheets, WhatsApp Business API, and email credentials makes it accessible for small practices without complex EHR systems.
