kvntoday has introduced me to the above site which is the outcome of a grant from roache in new zealand for a doctor/software developer to create an online inr management system. it is fully operational but so far seems to have no publicity.

it is stated that ownership of a coaguchek is a prerequisite for participation but i suspect it would work equally well with any home test unit.

seems there is a 3 month free trail and a charge of nz$10.00 per month thereafter.

one simply signs up online and the service "tells" your doctor you have signed up. now i am very happy with my g.p. so i emailed him to ask if he had any comments/objections to my joining up. the g.p advised he had never heard of the site, but he had looked at it and said it seemed a very good idea and that i was welcome to give it a go.

so i am going to do that today. i do not have any particular problems with my current inr management as i stay in my range of 3 to 4 but a few times per month will go slightly out of range by no more than .5. but i have never had a disaster.

i am slightly cavalier in my attention to recording dosages taken as my only record is the test results in my coaguchek and also i eat almost 100% chinese food with plenty of soy and greens and diet spikes when there is an abundance of a particular vegetable in our garden. e.g. heaps of beans means big plates of bean dishes! hint, if you do not like food like that you should be sure to avoid young chinese chicks!

so i will be interested to see if inronline can improve my inr management.

i will keep youse (kiwi slang) posted

Be very careful. Most of these software programs do not provide the correct dosing. I'd be interested in seeing a live demo, but not like the demo I just did. I want it to tell me everything to see if it's even remotely close. Personally, I think you'd do a better job managing yourself then any software program could.

hi ross

i take your point, but i would still like to try it. given that i am familiar with my dosing pattern, i should be able to catch on to any wacko dosing directives and would be testing more frequently anyway.

when i am up and running i will slip you access to my file so you can comment etc

Sounds good to me. Most that I have seen were way way off on dosing. Some almost looked like someone just pulled numbers out of the air.
