Build a cardiac health tracking app
A 73-year-old with no coding experience built an app with Claude to track blood pressure, fluid, weight, heart rate, symptoms, meals and activity after a hospitalization.
What they did
After a November 2025 hospitalization for dehydration, the poster started with a spreadsheet and then used months of back-and-forth with Claude to turn it into ClinBridge, a progressive web app for tracking blood pressure, fluid intake, weight, heart rate, symptoms, meals, and activity. He says Claude helped build and word the project, while he decided the requirements; the app installs on a phone, works offline, and keeps data on the device.
How it went
He says the app reached version 9.9.25 over about five months, is free and open source, and was built to help him avoid another preventable episode. The thread’s main shortcoming is trust: many commenters doubted the story, though some who inspected the code said the app itself looked real and non-malicious.
Worth knowing
He says the only ongoing costs he wanted help offsetting were the domain and his Claude subscription.
