Steadywag: A Care Agent That Knows What His Paperwork Gets Wrong
This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path One: Ship an Agent That Queries Real Content A medication was on the written list. The dog never got it. A specialist told one caregiver out loud to skip it. Nobody updated the paper. A second caregiver covering his meds would reasonably think it was current, because every document said so. That gap is the whole project. What I Built Steadywag…
A medication was listed on Theo's care plan, but the dog did not receive it. His caregivers relied on the documents stating it was current, unaware they had overlooked a key detail. This oversight highlights the central challenge for the development of Steadywag, a care companion app designed to assist in managing the medication and care plan for a dog with chronic illnesses.
Theo, an 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix, suffers from copper storage hepatopathy, recurrent pancreatitis, and high triglycerides. The app consolidates 180 pages of PDFs, emails, and verbal communications detailing Theo's care into a structured chart, aiming to streamline care decisions.
