1. Followers - add people you trust to see and add to your health entries. They won't see entries that you have marked private (locked)
2. Messages - Your followers are on your health team - they can send you secure Messages in the app; these are separate from your text messages and email. All your health information stays in one place.
3. Widgets - Add a health message widget to your Home screen! It's the best way to stay on top of your health!

Widgets are a great way to remind your loved ones about going to the doctor, taking their medicine, or just sending messages of encouragement. Because they are so prominent on the home screen, they will really stand out.

Health Timeline premium comes with a three month free trial and costs only $2.99/month. You can cancel in iPhone Settings: Apple ID -> Subscriptions. It's ok to cancel, and you will NOT lose existing Messages or Timeline entries from your followers, but they will no longer have access to your Timeline or your Message Board.

Then, use #rad to file it under radiology. Here's how:

First, tap the "New Entry" button.

Add any images using the camera button.

After adding the images, write down a description including the type of test. Use the tag button to categorize as Lab/Diagnostic test.

Then, tap the # button and select "#rad" to file as a radiology report.

You can find all your radiology reports by tapping "#rad" under the search bar in the Timeline view.

The app will ask for your permission to store photos if this is your first time. Then tap the camera shutter for each page - as many as you need.

Tap "Done", and then describe what you're scanning. I recommend the dictation feature - it's a microphone button to the left of the Space bar. You can just talk instead of typing.

Tap "Save". That's it!

Then, tap the Tag button and choose "Vaccination". The tag button will turn green.
You can also change the date by tapping on it.

Then type the first one or two letters of the abbreviation, such as "H" when you're looking for Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine.

And pick the one you want. Then tap "Save." The entry will appear in your timeline.

But if you have paperwork with all the vaccinations listed already, and you don't want to reenter them one by one, scan the paper as an image. First, tap the camera button and then "Scan photo".

The app will ask for your permission to store photos if this is your first time. Then tap the camera shutter for each page - as many as you need.

Tap "Done", and then describe what you're scanning. I recommend the dictation feature - it's a microphone button to the left of the Space bar. You can just talk instead of typing.

Tap "Save" and you'll be asked to categorize.

Choose "Vaccination". The entry will now be saved in your Timeline, and also in the Summary view under Vaccinations.

And you can enter Health Problems, Medicines, Allergies, and Surgeries the same way!
