The project documentation now spends at least as much attention on the information around the formula. Which preparation does the syringe contain? Is the concentration expressed in milligrams or micrograms per millilitre? Which version of the hospital protocol was approved? Did someone change the weight after the result appeared?</p> <p>The planned application must answer those questions before it can show a usable number. Doseframe is still a design and prototype. The clinical calculations and protocols are not validated for patient care. This article explains the engineering choices the team intends to test; it gives no preparation or dosing instructions.</p>https://oliseus.com/digital-odyssey/posts/doseframe-introduction/Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000simon.bernbeck@gmail.com (Simon Bernbeck)https://oliseus.com/digital-odyssey/posts/doseframe-introduction/<p>A syringe pump delivers medication continuously. Preparing one can involve a prescription, a stock solution, a dilution, a final concentration and a pump rate. Each value has a unit. A calculation may be short on paper, yet the handover between prescribing, preparing and setting the pump gives mistakes several places to enter.</p> <p>Doseframe is a project I am developing during my computer science master&rsquo;s studies. The idea came from conversations with physicians in neonatal care about perfusor preparation and the work around it. Their feedback has changed the design: the handover of a spoken prescription matters, clinicians need to see the entered dose clearly, and the staff who prepare syringes must still test whether the proposed workflow fits their practice. The project is currently a design and prototype, not a clinical calculator ready for patient care.</p>
