Which app to recommend

Which app should I invite my patient to?

Each program you turn on maps to one patient app: Nutrition guidance to Heartful Sprout, Infant tracking to Heartful Baby, and Eating recovery to Eating Recovery. You can turn on more than one, though most families do best starting with a single app.

What each app feeds back

Whichever you choose, this is the part that matters clinically: which records fill in on your side.

The which-app-feeds-what matrix from a patient's Program Access panel

A filled dot means the family is on that app and the record is receiving data. A hollow dot means that app would feed the record, but it is not turned on for them. You can check this per patient from Manage access.

Changing programs later

Programs can be added or removed at any time from the patient's Program Access panel. See Manage access. The family keeps the same invite code, and data already logged is retained when a program is turned off.

Where a family is borderline, start with one. Adherence to a single app is more useful than partial use of two.
