rack3r was inspired by my own struggles as a dialysis patient. When your kidneys do not function properly, your body does not flush extra fluid. It can build up between treatment sessions, leading to symptoms such as swelling, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and discomfort. This can affect your heart function over time and cause complications. A nephrologist may advise you to limit your daily fluid intake to prevent buildup, which can be a hard restriction to follow. Track3r aims to make this easier by using your phone to track and remind you of your daily intake and alert you when you have met or exceeded your desired amount of fluid for the day.
