DoseStep is a simple, easy to use mobile app designed to assist with tracking and notifying when a medication dosage is to change based upon a step reduction schedule.

Background

DoseStep came about initially as a personal project in 2015 with an initial goal to:

  • Simplify tracking a medication dosage reduction schedule
  • Provide the current active dosage at a glance
  • Provide the next date when the dosage is scheduled to decrease

This began as a simple Python script to populate a spreadsheet and later evolved into a challenge to build a full Android mobile application.

As with most things in life, the app decreased in priority once my personal need for tracking went away after successfully completing my own medication step-down schedule. Recently, I stumbled upon the old code and decided to finish and polish the project.

Features

  • Support for multiple medications
  • Notifications for when the dosage changes
  • The ability to pause/resume a reduction schedule
  • The ability to adjust your reduction schedule (dose, step amount, interval, date)
  • A clean report to display the full schedule breakdown including each date for dosage decrease down to the final date
  • Material 3 Design and dynamic theming support
