Add "ending date" for the custom frecuency.
Opened this issue · 5 comments
I don't really understand the "units" in the app. I was expecting that when adding an amount, the app will show exactly the start and the end of the treatment.
Now I understand that the "units" are, for instance, the amounts of pills taken every time.
So, maybe, what I want is a new feature to the custom frequency. Something like "ending date". That way, the app shows in the calendar the beginning but also the ending of the treatment and that doesn't extend forever.
Should be doable. I'll probably just add an end date option for all medications as an optional field. You are able to to pause medications in the edit screen, but automatically ending it would make life easier. I'll add it to my features list, but I might hold off on releasing until after I get back in case it introduces any bugs.
The "units" are meant to represent unit of measurement for the medication (mg, oz, tablets, pills, etc..). There's probably a better way to phrase it, but I haven't been able to think of one yet
- The "end" option, I think, can be also custom in these terms: date or amount of units.
With this, if the doctor says: "take it till [date]", you go for the first option; or, if the doctor says "take [amount] and the treatment is done", you go for the second option.
- I think that the word "units" stops being a problem once you add that. Another solution can be "units per take", I like better this one.
I might end up doing it in potions. Adding an end date shouldn't require too much work. A lot of the logic that went into pausing medications should carry over. I think setting a max number of doses would take a bit more work, but wouldn't be difficult
I ended up changing it to "Dosage Unit", "Unidad de Dosis", and "Dosierungseinheit"
I've just downloaded this app to set up a medicine schedule for my dog and also felt that an end date was missing. In his case he'll have to take some pills for 2 days and others for 10 days.
Thank you for the app, I've liked everything so far besides what was talked about in this issue. :)
@execb5 Glad to hear the app is working well for you! This is the feature I'm currently working. I'm planning to allow you to set an end date or a specific number of doses :)
