Smartphone app to track supplements, drugs, symptoms, activity etc

[Vladimir]

I do keep spreadsheets of all my intakes and lab tests. After many years both got very huge. I'm not a programmer, so I don't see around entering values for having a long-term overview. I might be wrong?

The app will be able to take pictures, documents and spreadsheets as input to extract data from them too. The more information you share with it, the better analytics and insights it will provide.

Wow, that would be amazing!
Will keep thinking on this of other things.

What about potential things I want to try? And timelines for that. Not sure if that makes sense.

Could you please share more details about how you would want it to work? You could share your plans for trying new things with the app, and it can create reminders automatically if you ask it to.

It's both - the app will us AI over internet connection to process notes and extract the valuable information from it.

thanks for the reply! but that would be a huge privacy concern for me, the usual errors AI makes aside.

Yes, privacy is extremely important, I do understand that.

There will always be a dilemma between privacy and functionality. To get the features in the app that I am working on, it must use the best AI on the market which is available as an external online service only.

Securing the user's data is a solvable task, whereas implementing the features that would allow all of the "magic" over simple voice note taking is impossible without using the top AI from the biggest provider like OpenAI - they encrypt all data and do not user it for their own needs,

i have thpught about this a bit in the past. the main thing would be the ability to find correlations, or do regression analysis, that shows lagged effects eg i ate bread today, it made me feel worse the next day, and delayed effects, eg i took drug x for a mont, and then started feelung better. and the ability to test yiur own thoights like - i think the effect of eggs is that i feelbetter in two days time. but ideally it would be smart enough to co.ntrol for other influences, particularly pem, and account for nonlinear relatuonshops

This is exactly why I decided to create this app - I too want to understand more about what aspects of my daily activity, diet, supplements, etc. affect my condition and symptoms.

The app is intended to do this kind of analysis using all of the valuable data from users' voice notes (text input is supported too).

Though I can't envision such a monster app, it would indeed be marvelous.

Almost 3000 datapoints from lab tests, almost 300 molecules (mostly supplemented), dozens lifestyle interventions, - all with fluctuation over now 16 years for me. And all potential associations which weren't obvious for my little comprehension across too much data and co-dependencies,

May I ask how you record/track all that information currently? With modern processing power, your numbers don't look like something that couldn't be handled. However, it's crucial to have historical information on symptoms, overall feelings, etc. ('health output') in addition to lab tests, supplements, etc. ('health input')."

As said, mainly with 2 spreadsheets (google and ods). More effort however went in learning the basics about those molecules and lab tests. Much learning, especially in a dialog form on many heath forums, where smaller details I may have forgotten are still documented. Main summary here: https://www.longecity.org/forum/stacks/stack/111-pad-and-additional-remissions/

Since I had major chronic conditions, like a walking-disability from PAD, COPD or constant PEMs, the prevalence of symptoms during different times are still very present. For example my main stenosis causes different distances in pain-free walking distances. COPD constant cough, etc.

I found even more insights through lab tests, since it shows preconditions one usually doesn't perceive symptoms. Like in my case fatty liver, CKD 1, hormone deficiencies, and so on.

Thank you for sharing all these details. I will think about the best way to process complex cases like that. The number of variables to take into account is large indeed.

Better focus on finding individual spontaneous associations between in- (lifestyle interventions or various nutrients) and output (symptoms and lab results) only. As you originally envisioned.

https://www.labtestanalyzer.com/ for a 120,-$ yearly already gives suggestions how output could be further altered. They did this by manually sieving through the literature. Done by AI would increase the risk of too many hallucinations too much.
