Our Work / Glidedose
A calm, private GLP-1 tracker
Glidedose: log every dose, get reminders, rotate injection sites and see what your medication really costs, in US or Canadian dollars.
Context
People on weekly GLP-1 medication have a lot to keep track of: when the next dose is due, which injection site they used last, how their weight and side effects are changing, and what the prescription actually costs after insurance.
Challenge
Make a tracker that is simple enough to use every week, private by design, and useful in both the US and Canada, while staying strictly a log. The app could never suggest or calculate doses, and could not carry drug brand names or logos.
Approach
Startup Slang designed and built Glidedose as its own product, end to end: brand, the mobile app and the website. The app is built with Expo, React Native and TypeScript, keeps all data on the device, and has no account, no ads and no analytics. Pure logic such as schedules, site rotation and cost maths lives in a tested library. glidedose.com pairs the app with in-depth guides on GLP-1 costs, savings programs, missed doses and injection-site rotation for US and Canadian readers.
