IN'Ratio is an innovative application designed to facilitate the management of Really K Anticoagulants (AVK). It offers a practical guide allowing users to monitor and regulate their treatment based on the INR (International Normalized Ratio), while providing essential information on food and drug interactions.
Features:
INR Tracking: IN'Ratio allows users to easily track their INR measurements and adjust their treatment accordingly. The app provides advice based on measured values to help maintain INR within the range recommended by healthcare professionals.
Reminder notifications: The app sends reminder notifications for taking VKAs and for INR tests, ensuring users remain compliant with their treatment plan and do not miss important checks.
History of INR values: IN'Ratio maintains a history of INR values in the form of statistics. Users can view their measurement trends over time, which can be useful when discussing the progress of their treatment with their doctor.
Food Interactions: The app offers recommendations on possible interactions between foods and VKAs, providing advice on which foods to consume with caution or avoid to maintain good treatment management.
Drug Interactions: IN'Ratio helps users identify interactions between VKAs and other medications they may be taking, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted side effects.
Important: IN'Ratio is a tool to help manage AVK treatment and in no way replaces the treating physician. The app serves only as a guide to aid treatment management and should not be used to make medical decisions. Users are encouraged to consult their healthcare professional regularly with any questions or necessary adjustments regarding their treatment.
