Repeatedly entering the same reference setup makes it harder to return to a previous study session. The September 15 development work added explicitly saved dosing cases with a non-identifying label and the selected inputs and medications.

Saving is a deliberate action

Working inputs and saved cases have different lifetimes. A saved case persists locally until deleted. Its purpose is to let you return to a reference setup; it is not a patient chart. Labels and notes must not contain patient identifiers.

The saved record preserves inputs and selections rather than treating a previously displayed dose as permanently current. The original implementation recalculated values on reopening. Later in September, the main dosing workflow changed to precomputed reference-table lookup. In either workflow, a saved setup is not a frozen prescription.

Check the inputs again

Measurements do not update themselves. Before using a reopened case, verify the age, selected weight, medication selections and applicable reference details. A convenient bookmark cannot establish that yesterday's inputs still describe today's situation.

How storage evolved

The September 15 feature began as local storage. Current versions also offer optional manual Apple account sync on supported devices. Operating-system backups may include local data, and exported files follow the destination you choose. These distinctions matter when deciding what to save. The current privacy policy explains the separate local-storage, sync and online-AI paths.

Development dates describe the work, not necessarily the date it reached every public app version.
