Next Step - New Feature Design Document

Overview

This document outlines 5 new features designed to help families supporting a loved one through chemotherapy treatment.

Feature 1: Enhanced Symptom Tracking with Trends & Insights

Problem

Current symptom tracking is basic - users can log symptoms but have limited visibility into patterns, trends, or correlations.

Solution

• Detailed Symptom Logging: Add duration, triggers
• Trend Visualization: 7/14/30-day charts with filtering
• Pattern Detection: Highlight when symptoms spike
• Symptom Report: Exportable PDF report for doctor visits

Feature 2: Caregiver Coordination (Handoff Notes & Task Assignments)

Problem

Families struggle to coordinate care, especially with multiple caregivers.

Solution

• Handoff Notes: Quick shift-change notes
• Task Assignments: Assign tasks to specific caregivers
• Caregiver Activity: See who's doing what

Feature 3: Treatment Milestone Tracker

Problem

Chemo is a long journey - families need encouragement and a sense of progress.

Solution

• Treatment Plan: Define treatment schedule (e.g., "12 cycles")
• Visual Progress: Progress bar showing % complete
• Milestone Cards: Celebrate wins

Feature 4: Quick Access Emergency Widget

Problem

Emergency info exists but requires navigation. In a real emergency, every second counts.

Solution

• Emergency Button: Always-visible floating button
• One-Tap Calling: Direct dial for emergency contacts
• Emergency Mode: Simplified, high-contrast view

Feature 5: Calendar Integration (iCal/ICS Export)

Problem

Families use multiple calendars. Appointments in Next Step aren't visible in their regular calendar apps.

Solution

• Subscribe URL: Personal ICS feed URL
• Export Appointments: Generate .ics files
• Share Calendar: Family members can subscribe
