creating a warfarin app - how should it look like to you?

[rokis]

hi everyone -

I have looked around the internet for good apps that can help you manage your INR level but I haven't found any.

As my hematologist is considering switching my anticoagulant from Fragmin to warfarin, I would like to create an app that makes my life easier on this medication.

I code, so the tech side of it wouldn't be much of a problem. However, I would like to make this app as accessible as possible to many warfarin users other than myself, so we can all help each other.

So how would an ideal warfarin app look like for you? What are the features that should be there? what are your current struggles with any app you are using at the moment?

Thank you

Hi, well done you for thinking of this. It takes a while to get used to warfarin, doses, diet etc.I think there are several apps already but as I don't take it I can't comment on them.

I really hope you succeed and get some really good help from our members.

There are some Apps but maybe not what your looking for. Here are some examples:

CareClinic App

My Inhealthcare

Oatbook

WarfarinGuide

Engage Warfarin Selfcare

Some of the above can be found on the Anticoagulation UK website.

I use MyTherapy …. Good for a reminder and recording but no use for calculating dosage if you go out of range.

I suggest having a look at Eat on Warfarin by Cath Atkin, I know there is a website and also a book and she has Hughes Syndrome/APS, I have heard her talk, and she does know her stuff in detail including running her life on Warfarin very successfully. MaryF

This is my 1st post on this site and I just started warfarin for APS last night - I do not have any advice yet on your app, but I just wanted to encourage you to develop it and thank you for your efforts! Sharon
