Caveat: It requires an account before use, and it has a very small rating base.

Partly fits

MediTrakpartial · 58

It’s a strong medication reminder and tracker, but it targets Android rather than your mother’s likely iPhone use case.

Dosecast: My Pill Reminder Apppartial · 47

It targets missed or double doses and prescription tracking, but the provided details don’t highlight caregiver oversight or dose-correctness safeguards.

Won’t cover: It focuses on reminders and tracking rather than explicit caregiver oversight for preventing wrong-dose errors.
