Wish I had this app earlier
Helpful to compare with others
Response from developer
Dontarius - glad to hear your situation seems favorable. Stone Pass is not equipped with a crystal ball. Smaller, more distal stones do pass faster but it is almost impossible to predict when that will happen. Stone Pass is intended to provide a general picture of how your stone compares to others with known outcomes. It is hoped that this information can guide expectations and improve communication with your care provider. An experienced urologist or stone specialist can give an individual assessment of your prospects based on your previous stone and medical history and will review of your imaging where they may look for features like the degree of obstruction (hydronephrosis), inflammation around the stone, and other details which couldn’t (and shouldn’t) be captured by an app. Good luck for prompt, painless, passage. Stone Pass is yours for future stones (which we hope you won’t have).
Just What I Needed
Your App compares me to others with similar experiences related to size, location and pain level. I was reassured to see this was based on data from a large population of Kidney Stone patients.
Lastly, included in the App, is very helpful information about kidney stones in general and once again explained in easy to understand information.
This is a great App for one stop information in an episode of acute kidney stone care. There is nothing like it and, as I unfortunately will likely have the need, I will use it again and be sure to tell others.
