What this gives you

Give the patient and doctor the same clear view of the plan.
Ask the right questions between visits, on a schedule the doctor sets.
Send reminders that support the agreed plan instead of generic nudges.

A loop, not a dead end

The plan
The doctor sets what to track and when to check in.
The check-in
The patient records what the plan asks for, in their own time.
The response
What comes back reaches the right doctor, in context.
Back into the plan
The next action updates the plan and informs the next visit.

↺ carries into the next visit

Check-ins happen when the plan asks for them. They are scheduled steps, not a constant stream, and not a promise of instant review.

The Plan, Shared

Both sides see the same next steps

A plan is a short list of dated steps, each with an owner. The patient sees the same list the doctor set, in their own language and timezone, so “what happens next” is never a guess.

Each reminder belongs to a step. When a step is done, both sides see it. When one is missed, the plan says so clearly, without pressure.

One plan, visible to doctor and patient
Check-ins only when the plan asks for them
A carer can help through their own account
