My Beanie · Dialysis Log

The dialysis log, on one screen

My Beanie's base screens are designed for the stage before dialysis. For users on dialysis, switching on "Dialysis log" in Settings adds a dedicated screen. For everyone else, off is the default.

Why an add-on

Why it is an add-on

For an app anyone concerned about their kidneys can use, the first screen must hold only what applies to every user: blood pressure, weight, meals. The dialysis log is an optional layer on top.

Default

The base screens are the same for everyone

Blood pressure, weight, labs, body signals, meals by slot. With the add-on off, no dialysis items appear anywhere in the app.

Opt-in

Switched on once, in Settings

Settings › Add-on · Dialysis log: choose hemodialysis or peritoneal, and a "Dialysis" tab is added at the bottom. Switch it off at any time; the records are kept.

Same rules

The principles do not change

No verdicts, no alarms. Dry weight and fluid allowance are values set by the care team and recorded by the patient; the app places today's value beside them.

What you log

Four items on the Dialysis tab

Values the dialysis unit already measures. The app keeps them on the patient's device so that each session can be seen beside the last.

01 · Sessions

Sessions and the gain between them

For hemodialysis, entering weight before and after calculates the gain since the last session. For peritoneal dialysis, exchanges, weight and ultrafiltration are logged. The home screen shows the average gain over the last five sessions.

02 · Dry weight & fluids

Dry weight and daily fluids

Enter the dry weight set by the care team in Settings and it appears as a dashed line on the trend chart. Fluids are counted in 200 ml cups; the daily goal is set by the patient.

03 · Signals

Symptoms and access-site signals

Cramps, low blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, headache, chest tightness, severe fatigue, and at the access site swelling, pain, redness, warmth, weaker thrill and bleeding. Select only what applies. Counts are summarized on the One-Pager.

04 · Medications

Medication check

Register medication names only, such as a phosphate binder or blood pressure medication, and tick them on the Log screen. The One-Pager includes the check rate for the period. Doses and timing are not set by the app.

Meals, too

Meals by slot

Available to every user, on dialysis or not. Users on dialysis are likely to use it most.

Four slots

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner · Snack

A one-line note and a photo per slot, plus pattern chips such as ate out, delivery, soup, fruit, nuts, dairy, processed food and alcohol. There is no field for nutrients.

Caution tags

Potassium · Phosphorus · Sodium

Tag a meal that included a caution food. The patient sets the daily count goal; the app shows today's count only. No milligram calculation, no verdicts.

How to turn it on

How to switch it on

01

Open Settings

The settings icon at the top right of the home screen.

02

Add-on · Dialysis log

Choose hemodialysis or peritoneal, add the dry weight set by the care team if available, and save.

03

The Dialysis tab is added

A "Dialysis" tab appears at the bottom, and a dialysis summary is included on the One-Pager automatically.

The dialysis log is a personal health record, not a medical device. Dry weight, fluid allowance and medications are set by the care team; the app displays what the patient entered and makes no judgment. If something feels wrong, contact your dialysis unit or a medical facility first.
