Where is it heading?
The app remains in a stable maintenance phase, prioritizing core utility over new feature development. The primary risk is technical reliability, as connectivity issues on cellular data continue to limit the app's effectiveness for users on the go.

- The latest release focuses on performance and stability, confirming a maintenance-only cadence without new feature expansion.
The SWOT

- MediTrack system creates recurring utility for health records
- Implement offline-first caching to mitigate connectivity failures
- Integrate robust search index for specific drug information
