πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Develop a 'Meal-Dose Sync' feature that allows users to input meal start/end times and receive alerts based on specific medication-protein interaction windows.
  2. Create a 'Dose Stacking' module that allows users to input multiple distinct strengths of the same medication simultaneously for a single scheduled event.
  3. Build a 'Medication History Log' that tracks dosage changes over time and allows users to export these changes as a report for their healthcare provider.

Real voices

β€œ1) Enlarge and/or increase contrast of the tiny, tiny little icons at top; 2) add Meal as a category and ask for Start and Finish time... 3) Provide for simultaneous use of 2 strengths of same medication. 4) Provide for history of medication changes... 5) Provide for recording symptom/side-effects/interactions.”
