## Entry types

There are different entry types in the application. You might use the ones you are interested in the most. Currently you might add:


* **Pain**
* **Symptom**
* **Medication**
* **Food**
* **Bowel Movement**
* **Activity**
* **Weight**

All of the entries have different purposes and different data fields, even though there are some common concepts.


### Favourites

This feature was introduced for convenience only. For example, if “stomach pain”, or “weight lifting” happens 4-5 times per week - it is a bit frustrating to type the full name of the pain or activity each time you want to log it. Another example is food tracking - for instance, I’m drinking coffee every day, I don’t want to manually type the name “coffee” twice per day.

Instead of typing it each time, you can just type once and click on the tag, it will change color. 


![favourites](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/favourites.png "image_tooltip")


Next time, when you try to add the same name - you can just click on the field and choose the name from the select.


### Tags & Search

Tags are kind of labels for entries. If you want to somehow label your pain or symptom - you can do it with tags. The good thing about the tags - that you can later search all entries by tag.


![tags](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/tags.png "image_tooltip")


I have 1 example of tag usage: let’s say I got very strong pain, or something that I would like to not forget. I can label the pain with the tag “important”, so that it is not lost among other pains. Another convenient thing for tags is the ability to add them to favourites, so later you can just select from favourites without typing.


### Pain

Pain has 2 important fields: “pain name”, for example “stomach pain”, and  pain types: “burning, dull, sharp, etc”. Sometimes different pain types mean different diseases and problems. For instance, sharp pain type usually means something serious, whereas burning pain type means inflammation.

Besides these - there is severity field, that specify how strong the pain feels to you from 1 to 10.


![pain](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/pain.png "image_tooltip")



### Symptom

Symptoms are designed to represent all bad feelings that are not classified as pain, for example nausea or dizziness. Symptom does not have pain type, or symptom type, but does have severity the same as pain.


![symptom](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/symptom.png "image_tooltip")



### Medication

With medication entry you can track drugs and pills that you are taking during your treatment, or supplements and vitamins.

Sometimes you might forget when and which medication did you take, but with medication entry there is no such problem.


![medication](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/medication.png "image_tooltip")



### Bowel Movement

The bowel movement is used to track your toilet. It might be useful if you have some digestion problems. It has [Bristol scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale), which helps you to track it as well.


![bowel-movement](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/bowel-movement.png "image_tooltip")



### Weight

Weight is important to track, because it might signal about such severe diseases like cancer (you start loosing a lot of weight). 


![weight](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/weight.png "image_tooltip")



### Activity

Activity might be anything that you like to track, from just walking to your workplace instead of taking transport to regular sport activities like boxing or weight lifting.


![activity](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/activity.png "image_tooltip")



### Food

In the food entry there are 3 different fields: main food which stands for you main meal, drinks and sweets (dessert). You might specify grams and milliliters, or skip them.


![food](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/food.png "image_tooltip")



## Reports & Charts

There is reports tab, where you can see summarized data, with aggregated analytics and charts. Under the date range you might see summarized information about what happened during the time period: the pains with the most severity, symptoms, activities, bowel movements and all tags.

Each entry type has corresponding chart, where you might select to display specific entry.


![reports](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/reports.png "image_tooltip")



## Disease prediction & Artificial intelligence

We have integrated machine learning into our application, that was trained on symptoms/pains to diseases data.

When you have some symptoms/pains logged - you can click the button “Analyze with AI” and check the results. Currently it analyzes the data that is under the specified date range in reports tab.


![ai](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/ai.png "image_tooltip")


Not all symptoms and pains are going to be analyzed. For example, if you would like to log “custom pain” which does not exist in machine learning model - you can do it, but it will not be analyzed by AI. You will see corresponding warning sign in select. It is explained in Pain and Symptom form.



![ai](/images/2023-01-09-symptom-diary-guide/ai2.png "image_tooltip")


On top of that, it is important to not mix languages: half of the symptoms in English, half of them in another language, the model works per language.

## Introduction

In our journey to better health, it's essential to note down what we eat, drink, and the activities we do. This is where the Symptom Diary  comes in handy – it's like a personal journal for recording our pains, symptoms, meals, beverages, workouts, and how we feel afterward.

**Main Meals**: Start by writing down what you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Include details like portion sizes and ingredients to get a clear picture of your eating habits.

**Drinks**: Remember to log your beverage consumption too. Whether it's water, juice, or coffee, every drink counts. Note down the quantity and any extras like sugar or milk.

**Sweets**: Enjoyed a dessert or a sugary snack? Write it down in your diary. Being aware of your sweet treats can help you manage your sugar intake better.

Specify date and time of eating to understand  when, and how regularly you are eating with having historical data.

To make finding specific entries easy, you can add tags to your food entries. For instance, if you're tracking your sugar consumption, you can tag entries with "sweets" or "sugar."

## Tracking Physical Activities

Besides food and drinks, your symptom diary also lets you log your physical activities. Here's how:


![tracking physical activities](/images/2023-05-01-how-to-use-symptom-diary-to-track-food-drinks-and-physical-activities-en/image2.png "tracking physical activities")


Activity: Specify the type of activity you did, whether it's jogging, yoga, or weightlifting.

Note down the date and time of your activity to keep track of your exercise routine.

Add any extra notes about your workout, like how long it lasted, how intense it was, or how you felt during and after.

Just like with food entries, you can add tags to your physical activity entries too. Tags like "cardio," "strength training," or specific exercise names can help you categorize and find your workouts easily.


## How this works in real life

1. Managing Gastritis and Digestive Disorders: A person keeps track of their meals to figure out which foods trigger their stomach issues. By sharing this info with their doctor, adjustments can be made to their diet for better stomach health.

2. Monitoring Sugar Consumption: Another person logs their sweet treats to understand how these affect their energy levels. With this awareness, they make healthier choices and feel better overall.

3. Hydration Tracking: Someone records their water intake and notices the connection between hydration and energy. Armed with this insight, they stay hydrated and feel more energetic.


## How the Symptom Diary App Helps

The Symptom Diary app provides numerous advantages for monitoring medication:

**Analytics and Charts**: View medication usage trends over time through analytics and charts, aiding in the monitoring and improvement of treatment strategies.

Symptom Diary: Health Tracker App


## Why you might want to read this article

Sometimes when you have continuous chronic pain you do not get it seriously for a long time. Once it becomes more severe or lasts for a really long time, you go to the doctor. 

Since the pain disturbs you for a long time you don’t really remember when it started, how often and how severe it is per day, was it better or worse in the beginning. It becomes much harder for doctors to diagnose you, and increases the probability of wrong way for diagnosis/treatment.

All these problems can be addressed by using the right health tracker or so called symptom diary.

Today we will talk about how to track your pain during the treatment and even before. How to ensure you don't overlook the time for your doctor's appointment. How to detect improvements to your health and give feedback to your doctor about the treatment.


## How I used symptom tracker when I had gastritis

Back in the day I had chronic problems with stomach and digestion. Since the pain is not severe, I just went over it and forgot. In the end, I realized that I have had problems with my stomach for years and didn’t go to the doctor, because I thought it was something temporary.

After one of the visits I realized I didn’t mention a couple of important cases that might be useful for diagnosis just because I forgot.

Besides that, sometimes I’m lost with questions about my pain, for instance, “what exactly hurts you, where, how frequently?”. For sure as any human being I’m answering with the most recent memories, which might be not accurate because I’m telling the most recent events and forgot about past events

Another thing was to detect treatment efficiency. I might answer these questions inaccurately because I just had a bad diet or stress, that adds up to the pain and it feels worse, however the pills and medications actually help.

I started my symptoms or pains diary by taking notes in my physical notebook. I realized that it won’t work for me. There are a lot of cases when I don’t have a notebook under hand, or cannot write down things. 

Then I tried Google Docs. I was taking notes about what I ate, what pain I felt, what medication I took, etc. I even created some sort of tagging system. But I feel a lot of overhead to keep it, and to write it. Also it is hard to do statistics and discover patterns, since it is just blocks of text.


## Solution: Symptom Diary

Symptom Diary can help you with all the above problems. It allows you to add all sorts of potential factors: food, activity, mood, medication, and all outcomes that can happen because of it: pains, symptoms, bowel movements and weights.

Whenever you have pain - you can log it straight away.

![log pain](/images/2023-04-20-how-to-track-pain/image2.png "log pain")


Type the pain name straight away, or use the saved pain name that you used before. Also, you can choose one from our Machine Learning pain names that will be used for AI analysis.


Besides that, specify date and time of the pain, set severity (how strong pain feels), pain type, duration, your notes and tags (for search).
