Welcome to PRECiSE, we hope that the app will help you effectively manage your chemotherapy side-effects.

 

What is PRECiSE Reporter?

Using routine questions on cancer therapy side effects, the app can store and generate graphs that quickly show trends in your side-effects over days and weeks.

The app also makes suggestions for actions to manage your side-effects based on your inputs.

Getting started

PRECiSE Reporter is private

PRECiSE Reporter stores all you information “anonymously” – so no personally identifiable data is ever sent to the internet.

First time running the app

After installing PRECiSE, the first time you run it, you will be presented with a “set your unlockcode” and “registration” screen. The unlockcode operates as a simple security measure to prevent unintentional access to the app. On first use, a unique PRECiSE “PassID” will also be required. And simple anonymous user registration.

Sign-in panel

On first use, this panel has three boxes.

Enter a simple unlockcode into the upper text box and then the same unlockcode into the second, lower text box.

TIP: Use a memorable and simple code that is preferably short and easy to type.

“Help, I’ve forgotten my code!” – to get help unlocking your app, visit:

Unique PRECiSE PassID

The third box is for your unique passid. This is a simple identification code that is assigned for your use.

Anonymous registration panel

Fill in the next panel with your registration information.

Including, year of birth, gender, cancer type and treatments

Using the app

After the first time, subsequent uses of the app will present you with a single text box.

Type your memorable unlockcode into the box and then tap [ Sign in ]

This will take you to the “RECORD” screen

This is the screen that records your side effects.

You can change the reminder time on the Settings page. Be sure to enter the reminder time in 24-hour format, so 3 pm is 15:00 and 8pm is 20:00
