Careportal (discontinued)

Careportal replicated the functions you will find on your Nightscout screen under the “+” symbol which allows you to add notes to your records. But careportal did not issue any commands to the pump! So, if a bolus was added using this screen it simply made a note of this on your Nightscout record, the pump wasn’t instructed to deliver a bolus. This led to a lot of misunderstandings.

The code originally used to add offline support for careportal did not harmonize with the development of AAPS and was really blocking further coding. Therefore, decision was made to remove careportal in AAPS version 2.6.

Most functions of careportal can still be found either in actions or the start screen. The actions can be reached either via actions tab or hamburger menu - depending on your settings in config builder.

This page will show where you can find the functions previously available in careportal.
