nurseAI — health tracking for people who hate apps

Android app for logging blood pressure, oxygen, pulse, glucose and weight, designed for elderly users first. Offline-first: data stays on the device unless the user chooses otherwise.

What it is

An Android app for logging blood pressure, oxygen, pulse, glucose and weight. What sets it apart is not the feature list but who it was designed for: it starts from someone who is 75, rather than being adapted afterwards.

The decisions that make it different

  • An oversized keypad that takes one digit at a time, instead of a tiny field you keep mistyping.
  • High-contrast readings, with no decoration in the way.
  • A one-tap printable report for the doctor. This is the reason the app exists: it is what the doctor asks for in the appointment.
  • Withdrawn medication stays visible in red instead of disappearing. If it disappears, someone takes it by mistake.

Privacy

Genuinely offline-first: the database lives on the device and never leaves it unless the user chooses to sync against their own server at home. There is no cloud, so there is nothing to leak.
