About DoseReady: who makes it and how the problems are checked

DoseReady is an iPhone app for nursing students practicing dosage calculations, and this is its website. Both are made by Maksym Shevchuk, an individual developer. This page says how the problems and the guides are made and checked, and what has not been checked.

Who publishes DoseReady

Maksym Shevchuk develops the app and runs this site. The app is not on the App Store yet; it will be sold there under the same name. DoseReady is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any nursing program, school, licensing board or exam provider.

The site shows no advertising and runs no analytics; the privacy policy says what the app and the site handle. Questions and corrections go to support@doseready.app.

How the problems are made

The app's problem set has 180 problems in nine families. Each one is a written scenario whose numbers are drawn from a checked range, built from published US drug labeling, such as package inserts and OTC Drug Facts panels, or from a named clinical reference. 154 of the 180 cite a label on DailyMed, the National Library of Medicine's database of FDA drug labels. Every problem lists its documents under its worked solution.

The problems were drafted with an AI model. Every clinical question the drafts raised was then closed by a recorded decision resting on a named basis, such as a US package insert, ISMP or a named guideline, and a second pass checked the risks that remained against primary sources. That is a recorded process, not a clinical review: no licensed clinician has reviewed the problems.

The 45 practice problems on this site are taken from that set and worked by the app's own code, so the stems, the working, the answers and the wrong answer each slip gives are the ones the app shows.

How each answer key is checked

  • Before a content release, an automatic check runs every problem across its range of numbers, at both ends and at points between, and confirms that its units cancel, that each notation it offers can be written out, and that no known slip lands on the right answer.
  • The worked solution is computed in exact arithmetic and rounded once, at the end, under the stated rule.
  • No model runs in the app: its problems are fixed content that ships with it, and a correction arrives as a content update.

What has not been checked

No licensed clinician has reviewed the problem set or the guides. Where a problem and its source disagree, trust the source and what your program teaches.

DoseReady is exam practice. It does not work out doses for patients and is never for patient care.

How the guides are made

Each guide names its sources in the sentence that uses them and lists them at the end: program handbooks and policies as each program publishes them, ISMP and NCC MERP for medication safety, open nursing texts, and studies. The guides are drafted with an AI model from those sources. Each source was opened and read when the guide was written or last updated, and a guide's worked examples come from the app's problem set, never typed by hand.

Programs revise their policies; a guide shows when it was last updated, and your own syllabus counts.

Report a mistake

If a problem, an answer or a guide is wrong, email support@doseready.app and name the page and the problem number. A confirmed mistake is corrected in the problem set the app and this site share.
