An app I wrote using AI

I had a full knee replacement on December 30th.

Home the same day. Physical Therapy started as soon as I woke up from surgery. It's going really well. I had full range of motion within two weeks and I am making really good progress.

I had a lot of medications I had to keep track of and I looked for an app to do that. Every app I tried sucked. Or they wanted money.

I decided to write my own Medication Scheduler app for the Android OS. I know the IPhone Health App will do this but I don't like it much either.

Here are some screen shots of the app that only lives on my phone at the present time. Truly a one of a kind app.

That is awesome, and remarkable.

On the History Report screen you can Re-Sync the schedule if you make modifications, add new medications, etc. You can also export the history report to a pdf or csv file. Notifications are fully functional etc.

@mark very cool!!!

nice. Amlodipine is great stuff. Keeps my BP at 105-110/65-75.

That is amazing Mark. You should market the app. You have a product a large segment of the population could use.

That’s awesome. Here’s mine:

Every two weeks I fill two of these:

I suppose the real work is filling them and getting the right pills in the right slots (out of maybe ~25 pills per day), though it’s second nature after 10 years and I don’t have to think about it or consult any chart. Then it’s just a simple alarm system 4x per day.

Man, getting old sucks, getting sick sucks.

I have an elder relative who told me a long time ago something like "getting old is not for sissies!" LOL

[jon-nyc]

My dad used to say ‘it beats the alternative’.

[Mik]

And he's generally right.

[Mik]

Getting old is fine, and a privilege denied many. Getting sick sucks.

@mark, what AI tool/platform you used for this, and how big is your prompt? Was it one prompt or did you have to cobble the outputs of multiple prompts together?

[jodi]

Very cool, Mark! I like the alarm idea too. My back would be happier if I had something to remind me to move from whatever position I’m in every 15 minutes. Would be helpful it my watch could give me a little electric shock or something (more than just the buzz it does now when I get a text message) .

@axtremus I started it in ChatGPT Thinking. The initial prompt provides a project to pull into Android Studio. It was far from complete at that stage. Over the next few days I had the AI inside Android studio do the rest of the work. Several sessions of prompts actually. I would test, report things I didn't like, errors, things not functioning as expected, etc. After what I estimate to be about 8-10 total hours of working in studio I had a polished and fully functioning app. I did have to do some manual manipulation of the code along the way. I am considering putting it out on the app store but I am also worried about legal and liability issues. I was thinking of a subscription fee of $1/month or $10 / year if paid annually. Get myself 10,000-100,000 subscribers, and retire. lol

I just started an iPhone app to track my workouts at Planet Fitness. I hate all the apps I have seen so I want one specifically for the stuff I use and the way I use it. Fun.
