This whole story is the most insane, fucked up thing I have read in years.
Especially the companion story, Hospital bosses ignored months of doctors’ warnings about Lucy Letby. The hospital execs seem almost as callous as the murderer. Holy shit. You have to have some sort of psychological or empathetic disorder as manager or director to fail to act when babies are dying like flies, there is one common factor, and your response isn’t to immediately investigate and take that common factor out of the equation as a safety measure.
They just refused to act for 3 years (where 17 babies died mysteriously or had near-fatal unexplained events in one year) - except silence, threaten and bully the doctor and seven (!) pediatric consultants who repeatedly raised the alarm and called for outside investigation. Since the murderer was removed from the neonatal ward in 2016, there has apparently been 1 baby death. In total, in 7 years.
I don’t know how you would live with yourself knowing that you actively aided a serial killer by refusing to listen to multiple people warning you about them and pleading with you to act.
This isn’t open source (but free if I recall correctly- I think I have a paid version but I installed it years ago): Recurlog will absolutely fit the bill for medications or other recurring tasks that repeat based on last-done date or due date (with or without automatic rollover = will reschedule for next day if one is missed).
You can set reminders at a specific time, and easily log directly from the reminder notification. You can log multiple times each day if you like, and add notes to the logged entry.
You can either set a “simple” recurring task without extra data, or optionally add data fields for text, numbers, Yes/No buttons or a time duration.
Manual backup to file. Unfortunately no encryption or visualizations.
I use it to log medications, reminders for physical exercises, cutting the dog’s nails, when the dog is due to come in heat and how long it lasted, monthly hair dye and products and results etc.
I know it’s old (last updated in 2018), but it’s phenomenal. I’ve been thinking of making a similar app with more features as a hobby project, but I also have a 10 mo baby so 🤷🏻♀️
