This easy-to-use all-in-one App helps you to record any blood test results or health figures that you wish to monitor, and any symptoms that trouble you. The results are displayed as clear tables with succinct information, simple graphs and calendars that everyone can understand. It differs from other similar Apps in that you can record both numeric and subjective health data in a single App. It also allows you to define what you want to record (in-app purchase needed), and change it later if you so wish.

A British family doctor developed this App initially for his own patients. He found most patients come to consult with symptoms that have often lasted for weeks if not months. If the frequency, severity and associated circumstances are clearly mapped it will help with the diagnosis tremendously. A good medical history can avoid much unnecessary investigations and quickens the diagnosis. Most patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension will have the habit of charting their blood sugar and blood pressure. However, to be an effective monitoring it is also necessary to record related problems such as cholesterol and kidney functions. This App allows you to do that. There are also patients with other medical conditions that need regular blood test monitoring such as measuring uric acid level in gout, and INR in those taking blood thinning medicines. This App will help those patients too. Many well patients have turned this App into a keep-fit tool, charting body weight, BMI and waist circumference.

This App is meant to be simple. Decide what you want to record and off you go. No fancy statistics, just key information that your doctor wants to know. Clear graphs and diagrams are often more informative in clinical decision-making.

On the technical side, the App can do:
- Adding free text remarks by typing or speech
- Remarks are flagged in the graphs and can be opened
- Data entered at a later time can be shifted back to the time of the episode
- Data entered with error can be deleted
- Normal range values and units can be changed to suit different labs
- Alarm clock function (date and time)
- Alerts when you figure is outside normal range
- Hot key to call your doctor/therapist (user defined phone number) when alert appears the third time
- Abnormal values appear in red and can be easily distinguished from other entries on the List
- Values entered by error can be deleted from List
- Line graph can be scrolled or stretched along the time axis

With in-app purchase you can
- Record two numeric tests and two symptoms at the same time, as well as blood pressure.
- Can define your own tests or symptoms
