About

Dosemate

Features
Read full description

Dosemate is a shared medication tracker for the one question that matters when more than one adult looks after the same child: has anyone already given today's dose? It was built for the toddler-laxative routine — MiraLAX, Movicol, PEG 3350 — where a child is on a daily dose for weeks or months and parents, grandparents and carers all need to stay in sync. ONE GLANCEABLE STATUS • A big Today card shows the last dose — who gave it, when, and how much. • A clear "safe to give" or "already given / in cool-down" state, so nobody has to guess. • Next-due time front and centre. DOUBLE-DOSE GUARD • Logging a dose inside the cool-down window warns you first — "Dad gave 1 sachet 2h ago — give anyway?" • Fewer accidental double doses, fewer missed ones. LOG A DOSE IN ONE TAP • Amount and unit (sachet, capful, mL or g), which carer, confirm. Timestamped automatically. SHARED ACROSS EVERY CARER • Create a child, share a short household join code, and everyone sees the same dose log. • No per-person accounts to set up — just the code. • Dose events sync in near-real-time so the status is the same on every phone. DOSE HISTORY • A dated log of who gave what and when, so the pattern is always visible. Edit or delete entries. REMINDERS • A daily-dose reminder and a missed-dose nudge so the routine doesn't slip. Dosemate is an informational coordination tool, not a medical device, and not a substitute for professional medical advice or your doctor's dosing instructions. Always follow your clinician's and the medication label's directions. Questions? Email don@unswrc.com
