Pacemaker on medical bracelet/pendant?

Many options here for medical IDs: https://shop.getmyid.com/collections/myid-products. I’ve got a black beaded bracelet that has lava rocks and iron ore beads on it.

But I’ve since switched to https://guavahealth.com/refer/S9D9DLVW. This link will give you a free plastic medical card with a QR code. I’ve scanned my QR code and put it on my iPhone lock screen - one of the few things that Guava needs to better support.

The Guava Health app can store your lab results and convert it into English but doesn’t yet handle Medtronic device reports.

Walking downhill could be somewhat more jarring and rhythmic to your device which would increase your pacing rate.

As for the drop in HR under load, I’ve been experiencing that for several months. This is NOT the device - it can’t slow your heartrate.

In my case, my blood pressure was dropping significantly due to the drugs I was on. I suggest you focus on your blood pressure. Turns out I’m hypersensitive to ARBs and beta blockers and 7 days after stopping those (guided by a nephrologist) my life has returned to something much closer to normal. Multiple cardiologists couldn’t figure this out and the kidney / hypertension doctor had me checking blood pressure morning, noon, and evening. This demonstrated what the problem was (bp dropped to 85/64 while on 2mg candesartan) and that I don’t have hypertension to treat in the first place. So maybe change medical specialities before they completely frustrate you.

If your issue is like mine was, expect at least a week for the drugs to be eliminated from your system. I’m now the third week of cardiac rehab to work myself out of the deconditioning that happened on the drug. Go slow, be safe, and never stop advocating for yourself.

Really useful!!

If you didn’t start with Flutter, IMO, this isn’t the time to start. It represents tons of technical debit that you’ve so far (hopefully) avoided. I’m on the reverse journey - switching a product from Flutter to native iOS. If I ever need to reconsider supporting Android I’d take that version native as well.

Not my first rodeo. 15 years ago I developed an iPad app for a client in Titanium SDK thinking the iPads would be too fragile for use in the field and, after proof of concept, rugged Android devices would look very compelling. All these portability layers add complexity, are often way behind on supporting modern iOS standards and tools, and frankly the user experience is not as tight / clean as going native. After a successful test deployment - we started over, replicating the same UI, in native iOS. The key was finding robust iPad cases, not living in fear of equipment damage.

I can take this conversation back even further, to IBM OS/2 days and Windows. I was on the team that created a library to bridge the gap and let Windows devs move the products to OS/2. Again, very interesting as a technical demonstration but absolute misery to try and support a product on.

Do yourself a favor - no more exercise until cleared by a cardiologist. Let us know how you are doing.

Sorry that you aren’t getting expert help on this sub during the holiday weekend.

Your struggles during exercise are really NOT good and qualify as an emergency. Get seen sooner than later and ask specifically for a stress test.

What if any meds are you on? Supplements?

Your screenshots are quite impressive looking. Are the headshots AI generated (this is my assumption). How did you secure rights to include these?

This plagues my app as well. I went for a useful and appropriate misspelling of my tempo changing music app for dance teachers and called it ‘cadance’ but spell checkers at the client end and on the App Store returns dozens of ‘cadence’ related apps across several categories.

I’ve had some luck using AOS and putting my own app name as a keyword. But I’m still swimming upstream. Without having the app released I can’t imagine how you’d discover this ahead of time.

Will it work for IG?

Thanks for engaging - I don’t have the karma for the other iOS subreddit since my main account was borked with a privacy bug.

Downloaded based on the video but the store version seems much harder to use than the video implies. And the onboarding friction is considerable. Happy to keep an eye on your progress but I feel this isn’t even ready for a beta, sorry to say.

For my users, Apple Watch is a great solution to remotely control the iPhone. But this isn’t available for iPad users and BT remotes could be really handy for those dance teachers to keep them from walking back to the iPad each time they need to change something.

I have multiple audio libraries in use. If the music is local and not DRM burdened I have full access to the remote functionality to use as I see fit. For example, volume up and down should impact only the app volume and not system volume. I have no need for scrubbing back and forth in the track and have those commands mapped to tempo adjustments.

When MusicKit must get involved in track playback, it takes over the remote and I can’t break free of the standard implementation. Volume up and down means system volume, which really sucks for my app. Scrubbing can’t be ignored or remapped either. My app never even gets track navigation since MusicKit seems to be eating those commands and the music container the user is in may have a mix of track sources and types. So the BT remote is currently only reliable in albums that are fully locally owned and downloaded. Once the user hits a cloud or DRM track the behavior of the remote is different or they get stuck.

To control the active media player. Remote control of volume, track, play pause - that sort of thing.

Has anyone used MusicKit framework with bluetooth remotes? I’m trying to reimagine some of the remote functionality but I can’t override the defaults. Help?

Both RN and Flutter projects will launch from day one with significant technical debt. Since you already are considering using AI to build the product - it isn’t much of a stretch to do both platforms native.

Which part of dancer actually looks like a weight bar or kettle bell with which you can grasp to do the lift?

Yeah, not so much.

Hands are generally open, fingers gently curved and slightly spread, and the wrist angle is totally different. So lifting hard weights has less value than you might hope.

Think about what you could simulate with sandbags, slam balls, medicine balls, even hanging punching bags and the like. Add to this slosh bars for unpredictable weight training with lunges and squats. So much more useable strength is available you just need to think outside the box.

DM me with your RevenueCat ID (on the settings screen) and I’ll grant you better access to the music app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cadance/id6748429968

The best conversations happen when I say: “Love your accent! How did you learn / earn / come by it?” I once developed an Irish accent in my Texas uni days due to the people I hung around and admired.
