Reminder - Final Evaluation of the Steroid Taper Web Application

[Sandra_123]

Could I just remind everyone that the deadline for providing feedback following an evaluation of the steroid taper web application is this Friday, 28th July.

I am seeking a few more volunteers for the final evaluation of the Steroid Taper Web Application available at steroidtaper.com.

Could anyone who is willing to carry out a number of pre-defined tasks using the application and then completing a short questionnaire please contact me by either sending a private message through this forum or through the contact form in the steroid taper web application?

I will then email you a copy of the evaluation documentation.

The deadline for receiving feedback is the 28th July so please contact me as soon as you can.

Thanks again to everyone who is helping me develop this application.

Best regards

Sandra

Important note to anyone who is already using the application. There is now a password reminder function within the application but this will only work if you add an email address to your account. **

I ask, have you involved any medical experts in this project?

Yes Mavis, Professor Dasgupta has been involved in this project since the beginning.

Hi Everyone,

I have carried out this evaluation for Sandra and would encourage you all to help her with it. I didn't time myself, but I'm sure it only took half an hour or so and I'm not too good at anything connected with IT! The 'tasks' have clear instructions!

If you read her post 3 months ago, you'll know that Sandra has PMR and is studying for a Computing and IT degree, so we are helping her with her studies.

She has researched many different ways of tapering pred and collected them all in one place.

I also found it really interesting and useful for me to input my own data. I am able to print out a monthly 'calendar' showing my pred dose, which saves me doing it by hand. I am able to update it at any time, so it's not a tablet of stone. It tells me that since diagnosis, I have taken 4,065mg of pred.......

If you have the time to read the daily posts on here, please make the time to help Sandra.
