About this app

Iron Tracker provides graphical tools to deepen understanding of hemochromatosis treatment. This genetic disorder is characterized by over absorption of dietary iron, leading to dangerously high iron levels. If left untreated this can cause many systemic problems, from fatigue, pain and generally poor wellness to severe damage and disease of the liver, heart and other organ systems. Treatment is performed through regular therapeutic phlebotomies, the drawing of a patient’s blood, and is monitored through blood samples tracking hemoglobin and ferritin, an iron-bearing protein found throughout the body.

The Iron Tracker App gives patients a single place where treatment and life-long progress can be tracked, combining appointment management with tracking and visualization of bodily hemoglobin and ferritin values, providing a clear visualization of this data to better understand and share progress with friends, family and physicians. The app also tracks phlebotomy appointments and details, helping patients manage their lifestyle and wellness.

This application has been developed by faculty and students at two Canadian Universities led by Dr. G. Grewal of the University of Guelph, and Dr. A. Hamilton-Wright of Mount Allison University.

Many, many thanks to the various students who have worked on this project: Andrew D'Angelo, Jiexin Frank Liu, John Carter, Sarah van der Laan and Thomas Alexander.

Not all that useful. If you could include more test results, like transferin, T iron binding cap, %sat, wbc, rbc, vb12 and more. There are alot of blood work tests that are done when they are looking. So a way to enter this information would he great. Also it woild be good for us to up the entire number into the entry(7.9 or 2.2) thisnis important. Would be good if there was a way to enter information regarding if we got a blood transfusion and how much and an iron infusion and how much.

Great app! Highly recommended I'm actively involved in keeping my medical records so this app fits my purpose. Work on those updates and suggestions by previous reviewers. Also, I'm interested in having this on a lap top or desk top? Hope this can be part of the updates.

Great to see GH getting an app.... However, it could do with accepting more upcoming appointments and accepting a decimal point in recording results which doesn't seem to work.
