Add a prescription from a photo or email

You don’t need to type a script in. Take a photo of it, or forward the eScript email, and NestWise reads it for you. You check it, and it goes on your Medicines list.

Take a photo

On Medicines, tap Snap a script and take a photo of the paper script or the pharmacy label. A PDF works too.

Or forward the email

Forward an eScript or a pharmacy email to your private NestWise address. In your Inbox it will say “This looks like a prescription. Right?”. Tap “Yes, review this”.

What we read

The medicine’s name and strength, for example 500 mg
The doctor who wrote it, and the date
How many repeats the script has
Whose name is on it, so it goes under the right person. If we can’t tell, we ask.

You see it all before anything is saved: tap Yes, save it, or Change something first. The photo is kept with the medicine, so the original is always there to look at.

Then: what the label says

A script often doesn’t say how to take it, so once a new medicine is saved we ask, in the same place: how much each time, when (morning, midday, evening, night, or only when needed) and for how long (ongoing, a number of days, or until a date). Copy it from the pharmacy label or what you were told. We keep exactly what you enter.

Each time you choose shows on your daily list on You, ready to tick. If it has a last day, it drops off the list after that day. Only when needed stays off the daily list. Tap Not now to skip it, and add the times on the medicine later.

The doctor who wrote it

When the script names a doctor, we check your care team in Nest first. If they are already there, we just say so. If not, we ask once: add them as your regular doctor, add them as another doctor, or Not now. Not now is remembered, so we don’t ask about that doctor again. Once added, they are on your care team in Nest.

A new script for a medicine you already have

It updates that medicine’s date and repeats. It never adds a second copy.

What we don’t do: we don’t read the directions or the dose off the script, and we never suggest one. We ask, and keep what you enter. An eScript’s code lets anyone fill it, so we never copy it into the details we save, and your Medicines list is private to you. This is a household record, not medical advice: ask your doctor or pharmacist about your medicines.

When you forward an email, its text and any picture are sent to Claude, an artificial intelligence (AI) service made by Anthropic, to read the details. Medicines is part of membership.
