Me: *has a migraine* , *takes medications*, *makes sure I'm not too hungry (its a trigger)*, *gets an ice pack*, *finds very quite ASMR to drown out other noise*Okay good got that done quickly thankfully *puts on my prescription medical migraine treatment device*
IOS Nerivio App: Well before you turn the device on you have to sign in
Me: *tries to find password while experiencing 9 pain migraine* ... *logs in*
iOS Nerivio App: Please read our terms of service
Me: you are a mother fucking medical device I was proscribed shut up and start the treatment.... *scrolls through and clicks accept*
iOS Nerivio App: Okay we have to connect the device
Me: ITS ALREADY C O N N E C T E D
iOS Nerivio App: Mmm not sure about that give me a few minutes
Me: *tries not to cry because that will make the migraine worse*
Conclusion: Requiring iOS or Android apps (or any other) for medical devices is discrimination. Period. All devices can have a button or small remote thing, I don't care if it cost a little extra for the company my health is not a commodity. A optional app that can do a lot more than the basics would be fineā nerivio app offers migraine tracking as exampleābut should not at all be required.
