So I've been working a program, exact details don't matter, which stores information in a database(either locally hosted or privately hosted by user). Basically it's to store a history of seizures and medication, so you can give it to a doctor and see something like "well most seizures occur in morning so let's give medication at 6am instead of 8am" or something like that. To do that requires two "accounts" one for caregiver and one for patient(idea is for parents of a child with medical issues). It requires accounts to see like "dad gave medicine at 7pm" or "mom saw child 1 have a seizure at 230pm". These are basically just names stored in the local/private database, I will not no them or track them.

I don't want to deal with hippa or be responsible for medical data so I specifically don't want to host the data. Assuming you had a use for this and the ability host the database would you be turned off by the requirements of "accounts" even if you completely controlled them?

so a personalized medication and incident report tracker? plenty of those.

Accounts are not necessary, just a Baby Doe case log.
