Overview

reepicheep

This is a Rust based package to help with the management of complex medicine (pill) management cycles.

reepicheep notifies a person(s) via SMS text message using a twillio account. Many complex treatment plans for those with cancer and other problems require various medications taken at all various times of the day, and on various days during long cycle periods.

It is very challenging to manage these pills via classic "pill dispensers," as even this can be challenging and error-prone when filling the pill dispensers and it is easy to forget with a busy life.

Configuration

See meds.json for the configuration of multiple meds. It more or less looks like ...

{
    "number_of_cycles" : 8,
    "cycle_start_date": "2023-11-28",
    "lenght_of_cycles_in_days": 28,
    "meds": [
        {
            "med_name": "Acyclovir",
            "moring": "True",
            "evening": "True",
            "daily": "True",
            "cycle_days": []
        },
        {
            "med_name": "Dexamethazone",
            "morning": true,
            "evening": false,
            "daily": false,
            "cycle_days": [1,2,8,9,15,16,22,23]
        }, ...
    ]
}

Using reepicheep you can set your cycles and specify their usages and intervals and then use the SMS notifications to help support your cycles to reduce stress and anxiety about missing or mistaking medications.

reepicheep currently supports sending morning and evening notifications in the central timezone around 7am and 530pm.

Twillio

You must have a twillio account and obtain the following creds, which should be placed in a .env file in your root. You will of course need the from phone number and the number you're sending the message too.

TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN="{}"
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID="{}"
TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER="{}"
RECIPIENT_PHONE_NUMBER="{}"

Messages appear something like ...

Good morning! Please take your Acyclovir, Eliquis,  and Dexamethazone.

SQLite

Rust works very well with SQLite and reepicheep uses SQLite to easily track what medication notifications have been sent or not.

Build and Run

Simply cargo run --release or cargo build ..

Allow TZ to be set from ENV

Atm TimeZone is set to Chicago.

Your project may be useful to other patients from somewhere else and TZ should be configurable for them.

It may be stored in the an environment variable and parsed from there.

Something like this may do the trick.

In ".env"

TIMEZONE_VARIABLE=America/Chicago

and

use chrono_tz::Tz;
use std::env;

fn parse_timezone_from_env() -> Option<Tz> {
    if let Ok(timezone_str) = env::var("TIMEZONE_VARIABLE") {
        if let Ok(timezone) = Tz::from_str(&timezone_str) {
            return Some(timezone);
        }
    }
    None
}
