Downdose — Steroid Taper Diary
A phone-based diary for tracking a doctor-prescribed steroid taper, daily tablets, morning symptoms, and changes to show a clinician.
- For
- People managing long-term steroid tapers and their carers
- Worth noticing
- It converts a prescribed plan into tablet combinations such as “one 5 mg + two 1 mg.”
Field notes
The workflow is built around the practical arithmetic of tapering: users specify the tablet strengths available at home, and the stated interface translates each prescribed step into a combination such as one 5 mg tablet plus two 1 mg tablets. It also retains historical plans so charts remain interpretable after a change. The homepage says the app supports several steroid schedules and includes a doctor-provided sick-day rule, while store availability is still marked as coming soon.
