OnTrack 1.8 Coming Soon

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

The next version of OnTrack will be released this weekend on the Android market. It will have a couple of new features of which the biggest being the new Quick Add feature. For diabetics that take insulin like myself we typically have to enter three records with every meal: Carbs, Glucose and Medication. Entering these records one at a time in OnTrack is a bit of pain at the moment since you have to do each record individually.

The Quick Add feature in the next version of OnTrack will allow users to enter multiple records simultaneously from a single screen. The way it works is that when you select the Quick Add option a dialog will appear showing all of the types that can be entered (Glucose, Food, etc) along with a checkbox next to each one. Check the boxes for the desired records and then press OK and a new screen will appear. On this new screen, the date/time and category are at the top, however under that are individual input boxes for each record type that was checked. Set all the values, as well as subtypes, and press save, one record for each type selected will be saved with the same date/time, category and note.

The other cool feature is the ability to export to the HTML format, this will give you a nice logbook style output that can be easily printed and shared with your doctor. You can view a sample of this export here export_sample.html. I'm hoping in a future version to expand this further and include some of the graphs and reports in the export as well to give your doctor a really good overview of how things are progressing.
