i am seeking an electronic patient log (to run on a palm tx).  it
should allow the patient to track a number of bipolar related daily
experience data, then ideally, be able to port back to a pc in order
to print-off a weekly and monthly trend logs.  finally, the best
solution is a program that allows the dr. to include custom fields for
patient tracking and reporting.  a program allowing customization of
all fields would be ideal.

although palm provides excel capability, the writer does not have the
skills to develop a suitable spreadsheet.  an alternate solution may
to be hire someone through this connection to prepare such a
spreadsheet.

The best tool for simple and efficient log monitoring would be to use
Excel. It is defnitely possible to have a spreadsheet with flexible
options for the dr to include customised fields.The Macros feature in
Excel could be used to generate tailormade reports on a periodic basis
.. weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and so on..

At the outset this kind of tool build up is defnitely a possibility
and do let me know if you are keen to have it developed.

Cheers
MK
