Important/useful information about iAPS

[LvH]

Hi,

Some information about iAPS:
iAPS is an iPhone application that allows you to close the loop when using a Dexcom or FSL and is compatible with Medtronic, Omnipod Eros and Omnipod Dash. iAPS uses OpenAPS (oref0) and is highly configurable and advanced. iAPS uses a fast-paced development approach, which will bring new features quickly; but comes at the expense of thorough testing, meaning little to no testing may occur for a release. Consider whether or not you wish to accept this, that's a personal choice; if not: try another app. As with any such DIY-apps, you must build it yourself. iAPS can be built through XCode or the "browser method" (fastlane), which may sound more overwhelming than it really is and there's a great community available to help you.

Note that an app to create a (closed) loop is advanced software and should be treated with immense respect and care. You must absolutely learn about these apps first and very carefully read their instruction manuals. It's even recommendable to consult a certified medical professional (in a relevant field such as an endo or diabetes nurse) to talk about "looping" and how to do it safely. iAPS allows you to run with simulators or in a test mode (not closing the loop) to get acquainted with it and see what it does/how it would respond in certain scenarios. Please be advised that iAPS is opensource software that is made available to you as-is and free of charge by the developers with no warranty or guarantees. Using iAPS is at your own risk and using/configuring it, especially when done in the wrong way, could result in personal injury or even death - so be sensible, be careful and treat it with respect. Do not use if you don't know what you're doing, may not be equipped to handle this software or simply don't understand the features/configurations. Don't be afraid to seek help.
