Health tracking in LifeWell

This is the health side of LifeWell in one list — every area the app can record, grouped so you can find the one you came for. Each entry stores what you choose to enter and charts it back to you over time. None of them interprets a result, scores your health, or infers anything you did not type in. It is a record you keep, and the value is in the shape it takes over months rather than in any single reading.

What people use it for

Finding the one thing you came for

Forty-odd areas is too many to browse, so the list is searchable and grouped. Typing "bp", "glucose" or "nappy" gets you there, because the search matches the words people actually use rather than only the formal name of the page.

Seeing what the app can hold before you commit to it

Nothing here needs to be set up in order, and most people use three or four of these and ignore the rest. The full list exists so you can tell, before signing up, whether the thing you actually track is in it.

Bringing a record to an appointment

Symptoms, readings and dates written down as they happened beat a recollection under pressure. Several of these areas exist mainly so there is something to show somebody at the other end.

Keeping a family record in one account

Vaccinations, growth, allergies and medication for more than one person sit alongside each other rather than in four apps, which is usually the difference between a record that survives and one that does not.

How it works

Search or filter by area — Mind, long-term conditions, food and drink, movement, women’s health, sleep and family, records. Both controls live in the URL.
Open the one you want — Each area is its own page with its own entry form and its own history.
Enter what happened, when it happened — Dates are the date of the event, not the date you got round to logging it. The trends are only as honest as the timestamps.
Read the trend, not the reading — Charts are built from your own entries. A single point says almost nothing; the direction over weeks is the whole point.

Questions

Does LifeWell interpret any of this?

No. It stores what you enter and shows it back to you — as a list, as a chart, as a total. It does not score your health, does not tell you whether a reading is good or bad, and does not diagnose. Anything resembling a reference range is general information, not a judgement about you.

Why is there no popularity or search-volume figure any more?

Because the previous version of this page showed some, and they were invented. Unsourced statistics presented as fact do not belong on any page, least of all a health one. Entries are grouped by area and ordered alphabetically, which is a real ordering that needs no source.

Do I need an account?

For these, yes — they save what you enter, so they need somewhere to put it. The calculators in the tools directory work signed out because they store nothing.

Can I track things for someone else?

Yes. Several areas — vaccinations, growth, medication — are designed around a family rather than one person, so entries can be attached to whoever they belong to.

What happens to it if I leave?

You can export everything, and account deletion removes your data rather than deactivating it. Both are self-service and neither requires emailing anyone.

Does it work offline?

Partly, and honestly rather than completely. Entries made offline are held on the device and sync when you reconnect; anything needing the server waits for a connection.

Tips

Pick one area and use it daily for a fortnight before adding a second. An app opened for one reason beats a fully configured one opened twice.
Log the date something happened rather than the date you remembered it.
Attach entries to a person early — almost everything becomes more useful once it belongs to somebody.
Export before any big change. It costs one tap.
