Hi guys, I know some of you might know me and a lot probably don't.
I would really appreciate your support on this.
I’m a 24 year old Cystic Fibrosis patient. Because of my trials and tribulations I have decided to learn app development and create an app for all Cystic Fibrosis patients and their families. My advantage of the app is that it is design, developed, and programmed by a CFer. It also provides a direct link to my email so it is more of a “friendly” experience for whoever downloads it instead of just having a drug company sell it. I really think all you would like it and have gotten some great comments so far!! The app currently is only for iPhone but I am working on converting it to android as well. The only supported iOS version as of now is 8 but iOS 7 will be supported within 5-14 days.
You guys can check out the app on itunes at:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-fight-against-cystic-fibrosis/id918730808?mt=8
and the facebook support page is:
www.facebook.com/MyFightAgainstCF
The App:
The app is called “My Fight Against Cystic Fibrosis”. It is meant to be for each patient’s “fight” against the disease and help them manage their medication regimens as well as have an abundance of information regarding Cystic Fibrosis in the palm of their hand. The following is a detailed list of the features the app includes and I have many more ideas for future updates to the app.
The Features include:
- “Cystic Fibrosis" page for all new families dealing with Cystic Fibrosis
- “Latest Research” page that provides the user with a refreshable list of research articles regarding CF.
- “CF Programs” section where the user can select any state they desire and there will appear a list of CF accredited programs categorized by city of that state. Each listing includes a picture of the hospital, directors’ names, cf clinic phone number, and finally the address of the hospital. All of which are “clickable” to direct the user to maps application or their calling application.
- “Treatments” section where the user can see all available treatments. Whether its airway clearance, oral, inhaled, or nasal sprays, it has them all.
- “My Regimen” section where the user can create their daily medication regimen list and then click a “daily med list view” to show to their clinic where it will list each medication, dosage, and frequency/day in a categorized list.
- “My PFTs” section where the user can log their height, age, weight, and FEV1 and display it in a easy to use graph or a ‘history’ list that will display the given information over time.
- “Grains of Salt” section where the idea is to take the advice “with a grain of salt” as they say. It is replicating a ‘question and answer’ structure. The section displays all the frequently asked questions of CF families and they are categorized by chronological order in which the patient will grow. An added feature is for each question that I, the developer with CF, have had an experience with I provide my advice or opinion on the matter.
- “About This App” section where the user can read about the app, view the developer’s story, and see the updated history of the app.
Then finally of course there is a “submit feedback” button so that I will directly be emailed any feedback by the user, and can improve or add suggested features in a future update.
I believe the app has a ton of potential and can not only help manage your health but also really improve the knowledge and communication between CFers and their families!
I would really like to hear from you guys and appreciate any and all the feedback you can provide. Let me know what you think and enjoy!!!!!!
