From spreadsheet to app

Ampoule started as a spreadsheet that I used to manage my inventory of drugs as part of my work as a general practitioner and urgent care doctor in Northern Ireland.

The problem was that I didn’t remember to check the spreadsheet, so I set about developing a simple app for my iPhone that would notify me when items were expiring.

The first version was released in 2017. Since then, Ampoule has been used by people all over the world to manage their medicines; from home first aid kits to emergency response teams.

The next version...

Ampoule 2 was released in July 2022, with many improvements over the original version. In many ways, it is closer to what I wanted Ampoule to be from the beginning. I hope you find Ampoule 2 simple to use and helpful in whatever situation you need it.

Feedback, ideas and questions are always welcome. Let me know how I can make Ampoule better!
