RX Pal - User Manual: The Dashboard

The Dashboard screen is the first screen which appears after the application starts. The title of this screen displays the current day of the week. Since most of the prescribed medications are usually taken before, with, or after meal, the dashboard is organized to display 4 primary Tabs or Sections: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Bed. Each tab will contain medication doses scheduled to be taken at the corresponding period of time. For example, all medication doses scheduled to be taken between 7 A.M. and 9 A.M. in the morning will be displayed in the Breakfast tab. Note, after the application is started, the most appropriate Tab for the current time of the day will be selected and displayed automatically. This allows a user to quickly check what doses need to be taken in the current time period if any. The following is the example of the dashboard screen with some scheduled medication doses:


The color coding used in this screen, allows a user to quickly (without reading the text) identify which drug doses are Late and which are on time. The doses which are past due are displayed with the Red background. The doses which are on time are displayed with the Green background:
