○ User input of medicine and
expiration date
○ Timer counts down until medicine
expiration
○ Notify user a week before
expiration
5. Use Case
- Struggling to keep track of expiry dates for my insulin

7. Hypothesis
People with diabetes have difficulty keeping track of their insulin’s shelf lives
effectively.
There are no apps that specifically tailor to these needs, and the native Android
Reminder App does not do the job effectively.

Editor's Notes
Dave was diagnosed with diabetes about half a year ago. Regular doctor's visits, insulin shots, constant awareness of his blood sugar levels. These are just a piece of Dave’s complex lifestyle. Something Dave started doing recently is stockpiling his insulin so that he can always have a stable supply. He has about 3 months worth saved up currently, but he recently discovered that some of the vials expired before he could use them. Dave also has a smaller but very important supply of rapid acting insulin. This insulin isn’t used often, but having it is crucial in case of any emergencies with Dave’s blood sugar. Dave needs a better way to track his insulin expiration than simply making mental notes to himself. He is especially concerned that his rapid acting insulin could be expired when he needs it most or that he will unknowingly administer expired insulin in his shots.
Dave is afraid of running out of insulin at the wrong time.
Insulin is something Dave might sometime need at short notice.
Additional features will be implemented at later stages.
As someone who is struggling to keep track of my medications,
Dave need to ensure the availability of my medicine,
so that he can avoid health complications that arise when he only has access to expired insulin.
