Health: Readings

Keep an eye on your health readings – weight, blood pressure (with pulse), resting pulse, sleep duration and temperature. Enter a number, and the trend builds itself.

What it's about

Every reading is an entry with a timestamp. patchio groups them by type and shows you the last reading and a small trend line for each – so you can see where things are heading at a glance. patchio doesn't rate anything medically; it just shows your own numbers.

How it works

“Add reading” opens a short form: choose the type, enter the number (for blood pressure, systolic/diastolic and optionally pulse), confirm the time – done. On every type card, the “+” takes you straight to a new reading, and “History” expands every past reading; tap one to edit or delete it.

For children

Use “Who it's for” to log readings for a child you're a listed carer for – a fever chart during an illness, say. All listed carers can see the chart. If a child has their own login, they see their carers in their profile and can remove them there.

Private, on purpose

Readings are private by default – only you and the carers on your list see them. Admins don't, unless they're on that list. You can share a reading type with specific people or the family. A reading you logged yourself for a child without a login stays visible to you, even once you're no longer listed. If the person has a login, the reading becomes theirs as soon as you're off their list.

If you've shared an entry of your own with a profile that has no login and that profile gets a login, the sharing ends and you get a notification. The admin decides who gets that login, so share it again if you want to. If you're listed as a child, the sharing stays. You get a notification in that case too and can take it back in the entry. The same applies to entries of another person with a login, and the notification then goes to that person. For entries of people without a login, the sharing stays and there's no notification.

Good to know

Decimal numbers (e.g. 72,5 kg or 37,2 °C) are stored exactly. patchio isn't a medical product and doesn't replace medical advice.
