Mile High Overview

This web app allows the user to (first) create, and log in, to an account. Once this is completed, the user will find access to a list of substances (currently the database can be added to by any logged in user) by their common & scientific names, which also has records regarding whether or not the substance is solely plasma soluble, or also lipid soluble, and the active, as well as full detectable metabolite half-life information.

Having this data available makes it possible to calculate the levels within the user's body at any particular point after administration, and how long the final drug metabolite will remain in the system. This is, however, easier said than done with the lipid soluble substances. Currently, and only due to a method of calculation put out by the Mayo Clinic (see also Mayo Clinic's testing information for various drugs which negates the need for THC half-life data/equations, half-life information on lipid soluble substances is not implemented, except for the aforementioned THC.

This, of course, can be useful for a variety of reasons. One can look up each applicable substances and administrations for a user in order to find out what levels of what medications may be competing within a person's system. They can provide a baseline to work off of for determining how quickly tapering can be accomplished, taking into account situations where a 'cheat' may be necessary for the user due to the discomfort of coming off of whatever particular substance. They can certainly be useful for people that are interested in avoiding 'dirty' results on a urinalysis, as well.

As mentioned previously, the user has the option to record any particular administration of any substance stored in the database; these records are consulted when calculating current levels within the system, as well as when they should be eliminated, and how they compare to other administrations in the user's history. There are a million other options that this data could be used for, as well, after being properly massaged, but that's what I've got built in at this point, and even some nifty graphs for easy visualization of the information presented.

Site Internals

Apps Available

• dataview - handles viewing of tabulated and graphed statistics, as well as half-life determination, when possible
• dox - currently under development; this is for an online manual and specifics for app views that might need some of their own inline documentation
• home - basically just handles user authentication/deauthentication; I'll be adding something to this to make it look a little more inviting (anyone want to develop a logo?)
• recadm - handles all aspects of substance administration records
• subadd - handles all aspects of the different substances available
