The Health tab on the daily page captures a wide range of physical health data. Some of it is logged once a day (sleep, weight); some of it is logged each time it happens (seizures, meals).
What you can log
The Health tab includes most or all of these — the exact list depends on the profile's settings:
-
Observable Health — a 1–10 wellness rating for the day.
-
Overall Health — checkboxes for predefined statuses (e.g. Sick, Healthy, Fatigued; an Other checkbox lets you add a free-text note).
-
Sleep — hours slept (numeric).
-
Exercise — hours of physical activity (numeric).
-
Water — fluid intake (numeric, in your profile's units).
-
Weight — body weight (in profile's units).
-
Systolic / Diastolic BP — blood pressure readings.
-
Food eaten today contained — checkboxes for dietary categories (allergens, food groups, etc.).
-
Digestion — checkboxes for digestive status (e.g. Normal, Constipated, Diarrhoea).
-
Menstrual Cycle — single checkbox Currently Menstruating (when enabled).
-
Health Challenges / Seizures — log each event with time and duration (when enabled).
-
Medications — sidebar showing today's MAR (read-only here; full MAR has its own tab).
How to log
On the web
-
Open Daily → Health tab.
-
Find the section (Sleep, Vitals, Health Challenges, etc.).
-
Enter the value or check the box.
-
For events like seizures: set time and duration, then click +.
-
For daily summary fields (sleep, weight): just type the number; it saves on blur or when you click +.
On mobile
-
Open Track → Health.
-
Tap the section.
-
Enter or check.
-
Save.
Logging a seizure / health challenge
Each seizure or health event is logged as a separate entry, like a behavior:
-
Find the Health Challenges or Seizures section.
-
Pick the type (e.g. Tonic-clonic, Absence, Unknown).
-
Set the time it occurred.
-
Add duration in minutes.
-
Click + to save.
-
(Optional) Add a comment with details that don't fit the form.
Later events on the same day show in the Recorded Today sidebar.
Daily summary fields
For things logged once per day (sleep, weight, BP, water):
-
The most recent entered value is the value of record.
-
If two staff enter different sleep values for the same day, the second overwrites the first (with audit-log history).
-
Talk to your team about who logs which fields, to avoid stepping on each other.
Why this matters
The dashboard correlates health with behavior and environment:
-
Sleep dropping → behavior changes the next day?
-
Weight loss → diet or health concern emerging?
-
Blood pressure trending up → check with the GP.
Even if no single day is striking, the trends show up in the dashboard charts over weeks and months.
Tips for consistent tracking
-
Decide who logs what. For example, the morning staff logs sleep, the evening staff logs BP. Avoid duplicate or conflicting entries.
-
Pick one unit and stick with it. BEHCA uses your profile's preferred units (imperial in US, metric in AU), so if you change units mid-track the historical data may look weird in charts.
-
For seizures, log them as they happen. Time and duration are critical for clinicians reviewing the record.
Common questions
-
The Menstrual Cycle field doesn't appear. — It's hidden by default. Ask your Manager to enable it on the profile if it should be tracked.
-
Why is there a "Recorded Today" list for Health? — Because event-based items (seizures, food entries) can have multiple records per day.
-
Can I track non-listed symptoms? — Use the Other option in Overall Health (free-text), or add a note in General Notes.
-
Who can see this data? — Everyone with access to the profile, including Guests on this profile.
