One Tap Dose Logging
Updated February 28, 2026
One-tap logging is a fast confirmation path designed to reduce friction while preserving signal quality.
Why it matters
A single tap works when timing is stable; it is less reliable when dose size, formulation, or uncertainty is changing.
Behavior-first framing
Use one-tap when dose and context are consistent.
Use manual follow-up when you changed anything meaningful about the protocol.
Edge cases
- split packs: split logging should use manual correction for serving accuracy
- partial compliance: record what was actually consumed if dose does not equal planned
- late logging: add a correction reason rather than letting app timing assumptions drift
Confidence impact
Quick taps can increase adherence consistency but reduce dose precision.
Detailed entries increase reliability for adverse-effect detection and compound-specific effect mapping.
Practical action step
If you switch compounds, forms, or split the intended dose, always open manual confirmation for at least 2 days.
Uncertainty and limits
- Evidence is limited on how much confidence can be preserved when one-tap is used during variable routines.
- Evidence is limited on precision gains from detailed logging in very short trials.
Cross-site references
How this appears in Unfair
Unfair weights one-tap events as high-adherence context but lower-confidence dose-precision context.
Clinical safety note
If symptoms are changing quickly, avoid one-tap-only logging and capture exact amounts and context.
