Hello everyone! I've made a few apps. Here's one of them
Hello good people! I'm a DSP, a Direct Support Professional. I go to group homes and I help care for elderly people that have intellectual disabilities and mental health problems. I work 12 hour days and the group homes I go to have 3-4 people per home. I have to keep track of what happened for the entire day: If there was any aggressive behavior, if anyone refused meds, didn't eat, any incidents that might have happened. It's tough enough for me to remember what just one person did throughout the day, let alone more than one. At the end of the day I need to do documentation and input all this stuff.
So I was looking online to see if there were any apps I could download to help me. Any note-taking or note logging apps. And yeah, there are a few, but they're all kind of generic and frankly they all suck. So I made one. And I didn't just stop there. I ended up making 6 different apps that all have to do with one specific aspect of caregiving.
How people usually do it is there's a place you log into. There's a central server where everyone's records are kept. Everything is online in one location and encrypted. Well, you hear stories all the time about how a company got breached and people's information got stolen, or the server went down and nobody can log in.
Well, all my apps are completely offline. You don't need the internet at all to use them. Also, all residents and houses are anonymous identifiers. R1, R2, R3, etc. Only the caregiver (and agency) actually knows who the identifiers refer to. How my agency works is people are identified as "Room 1, Room 2" that sort of thing. The apps don't actually know. So if someone were to get ahold of your device and try to get information, they wouldn't be able to tie anything together.
You can export PDF reports to a supervisor if they ask as well.
Anyways, I'd like to show some pictures of my incident reporting app. If anyone would like more information or would like to see what else I've done let me know!
I've made this stuff in Claude and cross referenced with ChatGPT. I actually didn't use Claude Code or anything. It was just chatting. That way we can talk about what goes in, I can inspect the code, refine it, and approve things before I put it in.
