The application is intended for dialysed patients treated by haemodialysis to make it easier to follow their prescribed dialysis diet and provides continuous indicative overview of intake of fluids, potassium, and phosphorus in their consumed food.
Free version allows you to continuously enter consumed foods and drinks and to monitor indicative values of consumed amounts of fluids, potassium, and phosphorus based on these inputs. You can look up the amounts of monitored substances in each foodstuff in an offline table. A daily list of food consumed is also available.
In the Premium version you can add more items (which are not included in the table). You can also create and save your own dishes consisting of multiple items for easier future use. Consumption history can be retrieved as well
This app contains an extensive table of (approx. 650) foodstuffs and drinks including their respective values of monitored minerals and water. You can search this table (by full text search) for required foodstuffs and drinks. Items that should be watched for due to their high contents of potassium and/or phosphorus are color-coded. The table can also be sorted (both in ascending and descending order) by mineral contents (potassium, phosphorus).
So it is a useful offline aid which can help you get oriented in the plentiful quantity of foodstuffs that is always available for you.
Another simple step how to further use this app is easy monitoring the fluid intake. Just enter all you drink using the drink icon (bottom of the main screen) and you will constantly see the current amount of water in your body and how much you can still afford to drink until your next dialysis session.
If you wish to simply enter just plain water and not bother by all the variety of other drinks it is quite easy as water is always on top of the table. However, if you decide to choose one and each particular drink from the table the app will also calculate the amount of potassium and/or phosphorus contained in each drink (as some commercial drinks contain various additives of different chemical composition).
And finally, if you wish to use this app fully it is necessary to enter everything you eat and drink. Since today everybody has their smartphone at hand all the time it is not a problem at all. Just look up the required foodstuff or drink from the table (using full text search) and the app will take care of everything else.
In the Daily list below the table you can then view what did you consume on any particular day.
All the monitored values are conveniently displayed in charts on the main screen.
Below the entry table you will find a Daily List bar. By tapping on the bar you can view the Daily list containing the items consumed in the particular day. By tapping the calendar icon you can display a different day and view/edit the items entered on that day. A dot at a particular date indicates that on that day there was a consumption input made.
The Premium version (for one-time payment of 4.90 Euro) allows creating custom composed dishes for easier input of repeated meals (Dishes tab in Consumption menu). If you repeatedly eat a certain meal consisting from multiple items you can define it and save it and next time instead of searching for each item of this dish in the table you just input the whole dish saved under your custom name.
This version also allows adding new items into the table (Foods tab in Consumption menu).
