Abstract	Medication non-adherence and the use of expired drugs are persistent health challenges in the Philippines, particularly among elderly patients and individuals managing chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Limited digital tools tailored to the local healthcare context and the absence of integrated caregiver coordination mechanisms contribute to these risks, underscoring the need for a localized, accessible, and secure mHealth solution. This study aims to design and develop MediMinder, an mHealth application that enables patients and caregivers to manage medication schedules, monitor drug expiration dates, and coordinate care securely. The platform features automated alerts, expiration monitoring, inventory tracking, and QR code-based caregiver pairing. It also integrates MedCompanion AI, a Google Gemini-powered assistant, for real-time health guidance.
