iCortisol is an app created by The Pituitary Foundation for anyone who takes replacement hydrocortisone (cortisol).
The Pituitary Foundation is the only charity in the UK providing information and support to people affected by disorders of the pituitary gland.
The app provides a quick reference incorporating The Pituitary Foundations guidelines for managing day to day issues when taking replacement hydrocortisone and key information for emergency situations.
The app also incorporates a smart reminder and logging system that ensures you never forget a dose of hydrocortisone.
The reminders are highly configurable allowing you to set simple alarms or reminders that only trigger if you have not taken enough hydrocortisone.
The app can be configured to handle additional drugs so the app can also remind you to take any other medications (such as replacement hormones).
The app keeps a record of each dose you take and allows you to quickly review how much of each drug you have been taking.
This log can be exported to a .csv file which can be sent by e-mail (to yourself or your endocrinologist) and opened using any standard spreadsheet editor.
