So I’ve been working a program, exact details don’t matter, which stores information in a database(either locally hosted or privately hosted by user). Basically it’s to store a history of seizures and medication, so you can give it to a doctor and see something like “well most seizures occur in morning so let’s give medication at 6am instead of 8am” or something like that. To do that requires two “accounts” one for caregiver and one for patient(idea is for parents of a child with medical issues). It requires accounts to see like “dad gave medicine at 7pm” or “mom saw child 1 have a seizure at 230pm”. These are basically just names stored in the local/private database, I will not no them or track them.
I don’t want to deal with hippa or be responsible for medical data so I specifically don’t want to host the data. Assuming you had a use for this and the ability host the database would you be turned off by the requirements of “accounts” even if you completely controlled them?
Is there any reason it couldn’t be local only and just given to the caregiver over the phone?
So this is being built for me, may release it to public don’t know. My logic is basically personal pc hosts dB and has a api to handle working with dB. On my phone and girlfriend phone and potentially babysitter phone have a ui(probably Maui) to generate api calls and send to my pc.
Also potentially thinking may get some free webserver (basically like <20 api calls a days max and small dB with maybe 1000 rows) not for security of the data but more just not having open network ports to the internet without having the security infrastructure.
Kid has bad epilepsy and is also non-verbal autistic(well, partially verbal). I wanted a way to track seizures and give a doctor like a csv or maybe even a some graphs for like time of day, activity when seizure occurred, seizure vs most recent medication etc. Doctor asks “how frequent are his seizures?” a response of 2.7 seizures per day on average with the highest tendency around breakfast time is probably more helpful than “eh, seems better than last year but still pretty bad”
Plus I want to track when he has been given medication. He gets medication at 7pm for example. I look at clock at see it’s 715, now I have to go to my girlfriend “did kid have his medicine?” or he has other medication at 2pm, let’s say it’s a weekend and I take a nap. I wake up at 330, I ask if he had his medication…“umm I think I gave it to him”.
The point is to have 1 point of truth with multiple clients able to update that truth, I can’t do that if the system is local only.
