A couple of months ago I had my wisdom teeth taken out and I had no way of communicating what type of help I needed. I ended up texting or writing in the Notes app, but it became quite a hassle - especially since I wasnt feeling well.
To make this easier, I developed SickComm. With this minimalistic app, you can press an icon and have your phone say the corresponding thing you need (water, soup, medicine, blanket, etc). In addition, if you add a caretakers phone number, you can easily send a pre-made text that corresponds to the icon in order to communicate what you might need when your caretaker is away.
A really great way for a child with a sore throat and his/her parent to communicate!
