You’ve signed up for KeepTrackMed - great choice! Now it’s time to make it truly useful. Adding your health information might feel like a big task at first, but it doesn’t have to be. With a few simple habits and smart shortcuts, you can quickly build a powerful health record that keeps everything organized, easy to find, and ready when you need it most.
Here are a few tips and hints to help you get started:
🎞️ Watch the “Getting Started” Video
Before diving in, head to the Dashboard and watch the short Getting Started video. It’s a quick walkthrough that shows you how to navigate the app, add information, and get comfortable with the layout. A few minutes now will save you a lot of time later - and you’ll see just how easy KeepTrackMed is to use.
🤧 Start Small - Every Bit Counts
You don’t need to fill in every detail right away. Start with something simple, like your allergies, a symptom, or a health condition. Then, as you use the app, you can gradually add more. The goal is progress, not perfection - small steps each day will quickly build a complete and reliable record.
🕰️ You Don’t Have to Enter Your Whole Medical History
You don’t need to add every detail of your medical past to make KeepTrackMed useful. Focus on the information that really matters - the kind your doctor usually asks for. Start with your allergies, diagnosed conditions, family medical history, and any past operations or procedures.
⌨️ Try Adding One Piece of Information a Day
Building a habit makes it easier to stay organized. Aim to add one new piece of information each day - maybe today it’s an allergy, tomorrow a past vaccination, and the next day a recent test and result. In just a week or two, you’ll have a solid foundation without feeling overwhelmed.
You might have important health details on paper, like old test results, lab letters, or vaccination records. When you find something take a minute to enter the key information into KeepTrackMed. PRO users can take it a step further by snapping a photo of the document - this way you’ll always have a digital copy safely stored in your account, ready whenever you or your doctor need it.
🔔 Use Reminders to Stay on Track
Don’t rely on memory alone! Use the built-in Reminders in KeepTrackMed to help you remember medications, appointments, or follow-ups. ✅ It’s easy to set them on the bottom of many pages when you are adding information - so you can set it, and forget it; reducing your mental load. Setting these up now saves time later and helps you stay proactive about your health and your family’s wellbeing.
🗣️ A Quick Chat That Can Help Your Doctor Help You
Doctors often ask about your family’s medical history because it can reveal important clues about your health. Conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or autoimmune disorders sometimes run in families, and knowing this information helps your healthcare provider identify risks early and recommend the right screenings or lifestyle changes.
Take a few minutes to chat with your parents or siblings about any major health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Then, add those details into KeepTrackMed under Family Medical History. You don’t need to know everything - just the key conditions or long-term illnesses. Having this information handy can make a real difference at your next appointment.
💊 If You’re on the PRO Plan - Add Medications
PRO users can take advantage of extra features like detailed medication tracking. Use the built-in search to quickly find and add prescriptions, medications and vitamins. You can easily print 🖨️ the list to take with you to your next appointment. Imagine how handy this will be!
💻 Use the Web Version for Easy Data Entry
Sometimes it’s easier to enter information on a bigger screen. You can log in to KeepTrackMed from any web browser at keeptrackmed.com/login to add or update health details. PRO users can also upload important files, like lab results or scanned documents, directly from their computer - making it even faster to keep everything organized in one place.
