Terapija - a Medicine Schedule Generator

A Swift command-line application that generates a daily schedule for taking medicines based on specific rules, dosages, and timing requirements.

Features

• Reads a list of medicines from a file (listaLekova.md)
• Parses medicine-specific rules and requirements
• Takes into account daily events (wake up, meals, sleep)
• Creates an optimized schedule that respects medicine-specific requirements
• Visual formatting with emojis for different types of events:
  • ☀️ Wake Up
  • 🥑 Breakfast
  • 🍗 Lunch
  • 🍝 Dinner
  • 🛏️ Sleep
  • 💊 Medicines
• Handles special cases like:
  • Medicines that need to be taken on an empty stomach (e.g., Eutirox, Heferal)
  • Medicines that must be taken with food
  • Medicines that need to be separated from other medicines (e.g., Nifelat and Utrogestan)
  • Medicines with specific timing or meal requirements
  • Specific dosage instructions and rotations
  • Paired medications (e.g., Heferal and Vitamin C always scheduled together)
  • Optimally distributes multiple daily doses to maximize time between doses
  • Special handling for bedtime medications

How to Use

1. Ensure your list of medicines is in the listaLekova.md file in the current directory
2. Run the application:

swift run terapija

3. The application will read the medicine list, generate a schedule based on default daily events, and display the results.

Medicine List Format

The medicine list file (listaLekova.md) should contain entries in the following format:

- MedicineName: dosage instructions and special rules

For example:

- Eutirox: 4 days = 50mg + 3 days = 75mg (take it on empty stomach, in the morning, 30-60 minutes before taking the food)
- Aleract: 2x per day
- Heferal: 2x per day (on empty stomach but with C vitamin or citruses, but NOT with milk NOR calcium)
- Pronison 5mg: 1x per day (recommended after breakfast)

Advanced Scheduling Logic

The application uses a sophisticated scheduling algorithm that:

1. Prioritizes medicine-specific requirements (e.g., Eutirox must be taken before breakfast)
2. Separates conflicting medicines (e.g., keeping Nifelat and Utrogestan at least 2 hours apart)
3. Distributes multiple daily doses evenly throughout the day
4. Places nighttime medicines before sleep
5. Schedules medicines with empty stomach requirements at appropriate times
6. Adds detailed notes for each medicine to explain special requirements
7. Ensures proper timing between related medications:
   • Eutirox taken 30 minutes after waking up, but at least 30 minutes before breakfast
   • Heferal taken exactly 1 hour before breakfast or 2 hours after dinner on empty stomach
   • Vitamin C scheduled together with Heferal

Visual Formatting

The schedule uses distinct visual formatting to enhance readability:

• Medicine names are displayed in UPPERCASE for emphasis
• Daily events use specific emojis for easy identification:
  • ☀️ for wake up time
  • 🥑 for breakfast
  • 🍗 for lunch
  • 🍝 for dinner
  • 🛏️ for sleep time
  • 💊 for all medicines
• Blank lines after meal entries for improved visual separation

Customization

You can modify the daily event times by updating the setDailyEvents parameters in main.swift. The default times are:

• Wake up: 07:00
• Breakfast: 09:00
• Lunch: 14:00
• Dinner: 17:00
• Sleep: 23:00

Requirements

• Swift 5.0+
• macOS, Linux, or any platform supporting Swift
