2. Alerting the patient and the doctor (optional) as important safety information arises for the medications.

3. Providing an easily accessible summary of the medications and conditions that the patient can share with his/her healthcare team.

4. Helping the patient learn and share treatment satisfaction and side effect information within the patient community.
