Introducting TaperMed#
This started as a personal project while there was a two year period in which I was on a medication which required a slow taper to get off of. I recently had found the old code from 2015/2016 that I had started with while trying to learn more about Android app development during travel for work.
After a bit of refactoring and converting code to the Flutter framework I have a suitable mobile app that I will publish after a bit more testing to ensure things work based upon my initial goals.
It’s not a medication tracker, there are plenty of those out there already. This is a rather simple app that you can enter in the starting dose, provide the amount you need to taper along with an interval of how often you decrease the dose. The app provides notifications of when the dose change and a simple breakdown report that shows you the dates and doses of each taper along with the final date.
I’ll update this post once the mobile app is in the Google Play Store but for now you can see a preview at https://tapermed.lnxfrk.net
At this time there are no plans on providing an iOS app. However, based upon Flutter documentation it doesn’t sound like a big task. Other than we lack “i” devices to test on. :D
