Area firm to test medication alert system

A Crystal Lake technology firm wants your smartphone to remind you when to take your medications.

For the last three years, Leap of Faith Technologies (www.leapoffaith.com) has been developing a software application, called eMedonline (www.emedonline.com), designed to help monitor your medications by sending you a call to remind you of your next dose.

It then can use a radio frequency identification bar to read whether you're choosing the correct container, said founder and owner Barbara Rapchak.

"It primarily works with a Treo smartphone or it could be used on any smartphone with Windows Mobile operating system," she said.
