Android App to easily capture medical data. The following values are supported at present:
- Blood Pressure
- Weight
- Glucose
- Oximetry
- Temperature
- Water intake
- A Diary
- Documents
Additional values can be supported through modifying the Temperature tab
Key features
The main goal of MediLog is to allow the manual capturing of medical data, basically replacing pen and paper. And to do this as quickly as possible. This means supporting smart devices is not on my roadmap.
Also, I don’t plan to cover the whole universe of medical data, but rather provide a solution for types of data which have to be entered often and cases where the alternatives either don’t respect privacy, are full of trackers or simply too complicated. E.g.
For example:
Blood Pressure values and Weight might get captured multiple times a day and are a good fit for MediLog, therefore there’s a dedicated tab for these values.
PSA values get captured once or twice a year, which means a dedicated tab would be too complicated, I’d recommend storing these in MediLog’s Diary tab. Search will allow to retrieve such values whenever required.
Guiding principles for MediLog are:
Be simple. Allow to capture data as quickly as possible, don’t get in the way. If you can think of ways to improve the UI, let me know.
Be open. Export and import format is a simple CSV, if you can export CSV from your existing application it should be fairly easy to import into MediLog, and of course, import into your new application if you ever wish to move on with your data
Be secure. PDF reports and ZIP file backups are password protected, MediLog supports biometric logons and blocking screenshots
Be transparent. No data transfers to anyone but the one you choose. No hidden telemetry, no automatic crash logs, etc.
In essence, offer appropriate measures to protect your data as defined by art. 9 GDPR, Processing of special categories of personal data
Installation
Download and install MediLog from here Releases or …
Quellcode: Repository
Removal
Like with all Android applications, via a long click on the app icon.
Uninstalling the application will delete all data!
Unrecoverable!
Make sure you backup your data first!**
Flavours
MediLog is available in 3 flavours:
FOSS, com.zell_mbc.medilog: The original flavour of MediLog distributed by
- F-Droid with F-Droids signature and therefore not reproducible
- IzzyOnDroid with my signature, each release checked for reproducibility by IzzyOnDroid
FDroid, com.zell_mbc.medilog.fdroid: Distributed by F-Droid as well. From a feature point of view identical to the above, but with my signature which allows F-Droid to verify reproducibility. If you use F-Droid, pick this flavour!
Play, com.zell_mbc.medilog.play: GooglePlay flavour, limited to 100 records, unlimited records via a small inApp purchase. GooglePlay is geared for closed source apps, hence the concept of reproducibility is not applicable
Check the MediLog About dialog to see which flavour you are running.
More on reproducible builds here: Reproducible-Builds
Important note: Be careful when downloading MediLog from different locations. The flavours are treated like independent applications by Android. Use backup/restore if you want to move from one flavour to another.
Privacy Policy
Stored data
Data entered by the user is stored inside an encrypted SQLite database.
To keep the input process as simple and fast as possible, the app/your data is not protected with an additional password. If your device has support for Biometric (Fingerprint) make sure to enable it. Otherwise, if someone is able to unlock your device they can access your health data!
The app supports storing backups in encrypted ZIP files. Make use of it by adding a password whenever you create a file or setting a default one in the settings dialog. Don’t forget to test (and remember) the password. The app allows to send password protected files so you can share over unprotected media (eg. email) reducing the risk of your data getting in the wrong hands.
Required permissions
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE : Required to export backup files
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required to import backup files
- USE_BIOMETRIC: Required to enable biometric logon protection
- INTERNET: Required for automated and ad-hoc feedback
Tracking
No advertising, no hidden tracking!
You can however let me know which tabs you use via the user feedback function, which I would appreciate because it’s the only way for me to know if I focus my time and efforts on areas which are actually used by people out there.
As of version 3.0 there is also the possibility to send a crash log to me in case the application crashes. However, crash logs will never be sent without your explicit approval. See here for more details: Crash logs
Libraries
3rd party libraries in use are the below:
- Vico : Most of the charts,
- Calendar : Diary heatmap chart
- Zip4J : Enable password protected ZIP files
- ACRA : Enable crash logs
