Application To Track "Yes/No" By Quarter Hour?

[PeteCresswell]

I'm looking for something that will make the PDA beep every fifteen
minutes and then allow me to answer a "Yes/No" question - preferably
by clicking one of two buttons.

The PDA needs to keep track of the answers and the times they were
given.

Then I need to be able to transfer the times/dates/answers to a PC for
analysis.

I currently have a Palm TX, but would be willing to buy a Windows
device if such an application were available in that environment.

Now that I'm thinking about more, something like a few numbers (1, 2,
3, 4.... ) would accomplish the same thing and give some added
flexibility)

i.e. 1=Yes
2=No
3=Event number three occurred at this time
4=Event number four occurred at this time.

I don't know of an existing app that does this, but think about all
the features you want and the app might be worth to you.

Look at my Palm sample page:

Then send email with details of what you want. I can sometimes be
very reasonable for custom development...

Thanks for the offer, but this application is strictly for personal
use - trying to correlate certain symptoms with certain events.

If there's nothing off the shelf, I'll probably buy the Windows Mobile
device I've been lusting after for some time now and write it myself
to get my feet wet in MS's development environment for mobile devices.

I believe that such a program might be EXTREMELY rare! I suspect that
you will either have to write it yourself or pay someone to do it.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Health issues: periodic loss of balance which I'm trying to
coordinate with food intake.

I figure a diary of food intake plus some means of evaluating
symptoms ("Yes" or "No"... or maybe a number on a scale of 1-10)
that could easily be updated every fifteen minutes or even less.

"BEEP".... pull out the device, click a number.... and it's over.

I can't think of anything ready made that would do that. An old
fashioned kitchen timer, a wrist watch, paper, and pencil/pen may
lack pizzazz but it should get the job done.

I hope you have mentioned this problem to your doctor. If he doesn't
take it seriously he damned well ought to and you should probably get a
new doctor.

I wrote something similar based on text messages to my cell phone
at random times.
The replys go to e-mail. The downside is: more keystrokes and the
cost of the data plan. Let me know if you are interested and I
will extend the program for your periodic probes.
