Idea: Harm Reduction/Dosing App

Ok I got this idea from the caffeine tracker app. The general idea is that you put in the drug you take and the dose and the app will calculate your approx. blood level using the half life of the drug and the dose you put in. It will also recommend the safe dosage levels for the drug (from erowid light, medium, strong, heavy etc.) and automatically warn you if you put in dangerous dosages or combinations that may prove dangerous.

So the functions:

  1. Calculations of blood dosage level for redose helping (Also differents ROA's for the calculations)

  2. Providing of recommended dosages

  3. Dangerous combo's warning

  4. Adjustable body weight that is used in the calculations

  5. Reminders for some drugs: MDMA: drink a glass of water every hour Stimulants (Meth, Speed): eat every x hours etc.

  6. Integrated logbook that keeps log of every time you put in a drug so you have some insight in how much you use. (to reduce addiction potential)

  7. Automatic warning if you are about to exceed safe dosage level

  8. Maybe some general harm reduction information on every drug and general first-aid information.

What are your thought on this? Any other functions/improvements that you can think of? I know it can never be perfect because of individual differences and drug impurities but this should give people a general idea of whats going on (really some people have NO idea what they are doing). All opinions are welcome!

I would love to get involved with this, although I've never done a mobile project before, mostly just web stuff so far. I'm learning Java (for Android) atm, but maybe I could start with a bit of a backbone and web interface, where the information could not only be accessed normally, but also served to the app.

Yeah I think I will search for a team, if you know anyone else let me know. But this means you're in?

This is a pretty solid idea. I would be interested in maybe taking on this project provided I have the right team. I'm a professional web and mobile developer with vast experience in database design, iOS and android app development, as well as front and backend web development.

Ok, so this is what I got now (including you):

2 experienced app developers

3 java programmers, 2 experienced and 1 a bit a beginner

You think this is enough? Also, do you have WhatsApp for easier communication?

You basically just described the tripsit app.

Does it have drug tracking options? An integrated logbook? I don't think so

No provider would ever approve it.

It could be on Cydia.

Doesnt need to be on google play/app store, maybe on a site like erowid or dancesafe that you could download it

Of course they would. Apps aren't necessarily rejected / accepted based on their content. Google doesn't even filter app submissions.
