Keep the schedule accurate
Update DosePrompt when professional instructions change and pause a medication rather than deleting the history you may still need to review.
Use snooze deliberately
Choose 10, 15, or 30 minutes only when a later reminder is useful. Record the final outcome so a snoozed reminder does not become an ambiguous day.
Test the Watch path
If you use Apple Watch, confirm the app and next-dose complication show the expected schedule before relying on them during a busy day.
Export a backup
Create a validated JSON backup periodically and store it somewhere you control, especially before changing or replacing a device.
Common mistakes to avoid
These shortcuts weaken the DosePrompt experience or create expectations the product is not designed to meet.
- Changing a dose because the app shows a missed reminder
- Entering a schedule you have not verified
- Assuming a notification proves a medication was taken
- Putting passwords or payment details in medication notes
Build the next session from evidence
The routine succeeds when the current plan is accurate, reminders arrive where expected, actions are recorded in one tap, and the history can be reviewed without guessing.
After each session, choose one thing to preserve and one thing to adjust. That small review keeps DosePrompt focused on its real purpose rather than turning the app into another collection of screens.
