There is a lot of information we want to keep track of in our daily lives. For example:
- Expenses during business trips
- Upcoming travel plans
- Schedules, including hotel reservation confirmations
- Spending habits, like what, when, where, and how you spend money
- Daily weight fluctuations
- Managing collected business cards
- Daily notes or journal entries
You could record this data in a table using spreadsheet software like Excel. However, as the entry number increases, it becomes difficult to remember where you wrote what and which cell should contain which data. Managing it all can quickly become cumbersome. That said, purchasing a dedicated app for each record type is not a realistic solution.
That’s why I started thinking about developing a “simple data entry program”. With this program, users can predefine input fields and call them whenever they need to quickly record essential information, including dates and times. Additionally, I could design this system to compare input and output data, much like a resource planning (RP) system.
In theory, exporting the entered data to a spreadsheet for processing should be sufficient. However, with the help of AI, we can now analyze and utilize data more effectively than ever before.
This is what I envision as a “simple database”. In fact, this is a project I’m quietly working on at my company.
The Background of This Project
I am currently undergoing post-kidney transplant treatment, which requires me to track:
- Daily blood pressure
- Blood sugar levels
- Body weight
- Urine output
Right now, I write all of this down on paper. But with this program, I could easily enter the data from my smartphone or PC and instantly save it to the cloud. If I could make this program available at an affordable price, it could be a valuable tool for many people.
Wouldn’t a system like this be useful? I would love to hear your thoughts!
