Open-D User Guide

The Dashboard is the home screen of Open-D. It is designed to give you a complete picture of your current state in one glance — glucose, trends, active insulin, food still absorbing, and your AI Agent — without requiring you to navigate anywhere.

My Schedule lets you plan any recurring activity — workouts, meals, or custom events — and receive AI coaching before, during, and after. Over time, the agent learns what works for your body and gets smarter with every event.

Schedule an activity with a date, time, and recurrence. Before it starts, the agent sends a proactive nudge with glucose advice tailored to the activity. After it ends, a follow-up asks how it went. The agent stores the outcome and uses it to improve future coaching for similar activities.

The Utilities Hub is your command centre. It's organised into two tabs — ⚡ Tools for daily logging and 📊 Insights for reviewing your data. Tap the 🧰 button on the Dashboard or swipe right to open it. Long-press any tile to pin it to the top for faster daily access.

Open-D is not a logging app that shows you charts. At its core it's an AI Agent — a companion equipped with skills and tools that calculate on your real data. It watches your glucose continuously, builds memory of your unique patterns, and gives you advice grounded in your specific context rather than generic guidelines.

When you send a message, your agent receives your question along with the last 6–12 hours of glucose readings, meals, insulin doses, workouts, and sleep data. This context is what makes the response personal rather than textbook. Your agent doesn't just know that you're at 160 mg/dL — it knows you had pasta two hours ago, skipped your workout today, and tend to spike in the morning.

The agent chat is far more than a text box. Your agent's name and emoji appear in the header alongside your current glucose reading and timestamp — so the agent always has live context visible before you even type.

SmartDose is Open-D's insulin dosing assistant. Instead of guessing your dose, SmartDose calculates a personalised suggestion based on your current glucose, active insulin, food, and the patterns the agent has learned about your body.

When you log a meal or open the SmartDose Calculator, SmartDose analyses your context — glucose trend, insulin on board, time of day, and your historical response to similar meals. It then suggests a dose tailored to you, not a generic formula.

Night Watch is Open-D's sleep safety system. It runs whenever you're asleep and cannot be turned off — because a severe hypo at 3am with no one awake is a medical emergency.

If your glucose drops to a critical low during the night, Night Watch escalates in three steps: first a vibration, then a loud alarm, then an SMS sent automatically to your emergency contact with your current glucose reading. Each step gives you time to wake up and treat before the next one fires.

Open-D connects directly to your continuous glucose monitor to pull readings in real time. No manual entries, no delays — your Dashboard updates every minute.

Open-D is built on a local-first principle: your health data stays on your device and nowhere else. There are no cloud accounts, no syncing to external services, and no data harvesting.

The only time data leaves your device is when you send a message to your AI Agent. At that point, your message plus a window of recent context (glucose readings, meals, workouts from the past 6–12 hours) is sent for processing. This context is what makes responses specific to you rather than generic. That data is not stored by the AI provider after the request completes.

You can use Open-D purely as a local tracker without ever chatting with the agent — all logging, dashboards, and Night Watch work entirely offline.
