Mobile CML app

Hi guys

I am a mobile software developer with CML I am thinking of developing a free app initially for iOS. Maybe with non intrusive ads so that I can make a little money and also donate some to various charities.

Some of the things that I’d thought I’d include in an initial phase are:

  1. General info
  2. CML news and stories
  3. General Advice
  4. Doctors
  5. Nutrition and supplements
  6. Tablet reminders
  7. Blood count tracker with graphs etc
  8. PCR tracker also with graphs
  9. Make it kind of non intrusive social so CML’ers can actually message each other and even talk alas FaceBook/FaceTime
  10. Symptoms per med
  11. Email/Print reports
  12. Motivational quotes on a daily basis to  lift our spirits up while we are going through this ordeal
  13. Meditation elements
  14. Daily journal of our thoughts.
  15. Appointments reminder/tracker linked to calendar
  16. Success stories
  17. Travel insurance quotes for cancer patients

These are just some initial ideas.

This forum is fantastic and without it I would be lost. This is in no way of replacing it but a way of supplementing it in the 21st century. I need to do something positive with my time and having CML makes me want to get something positive out of having it and if that means a little app that makes a difference it’s something I’d like to do. This can be a joint effort as we are all in this together so your suggestions would be great.

If you think this is a crap idea that’s fine too. Just wanted to do something that has purpose. When you get something like this everything about life changes.

All feedback welcome

Hi Alex,

This sounds like a cool idea!  My first thought about the PCR graph is that it would be great to have some sort of analysis done that would give feedback to the user if the trend was going up at an alarming rate, but also encourage the user if the result was in the normal range of variation for their past results.  I think most of us worry about every uptick in the PCR score and having some encouragement for a result that isn't going down might help relieve some of the stress.

I have an android phone. sad  I wouldn't mind paying a bit for an app like this.

Thanks, Kirk

Hi Kirk

Thats a really good idea! I like it.

I’ll add that to the list once I’ve accumulated enough feedback.

Glad that you think it’s a good idea. Once I’ve made the iOS one and it’s used I’ll develop an Android one :-)

Many thanks

Alex
