To use Doctor Visit Notes, sign in first.
This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
Most of us leave the doctor's office and realize, halfway home, that we have already forgotten half of what was said. The name of the new medication. The number they wrote on the paper. What the follow-up is supposed to be about.
Doctor Visit Notes is the place to write it down while it is fresh, so you have a record on the drive home and at the next visit.
Where to find it
Go to My Health, then Doctor Visit Notes. The page is headed My Doctor Visits.
Adding a visit
Tap Add Visit. The form asks:
When did you go? Today is filled in. Change it if the visit was earlier.
Which doctor?
What did they tell you? Quick notes, not a transcript. A new diagnosis, a change to your medicines, a test they ordered.
What do you need to do? Anything they asked you to book, try or watch. You can leave this blank.
Then tap Save Visit Note. The note is saved as soon as you tap it.
The page then asks Did they schedule a follow-up? Tap Add Next Appointment to record the date, or No follow-up to add if there is nothing to book.
After the visit
On the drive home, or when you get home, open the note and add any detail you remember. Each card on My Doctor Visits opens the full note, where you can edit it. Review the notes with a family member later that day if helpful.
Bringing a family member, in spirit
If someone in your Circle is helping with your care, you can let them read your notes the same day. That is a switch you turn on yourself: go to Settings, then the Privacy & Sharing tab, and find the row called Doctor Visit Notes. Nothing is shared until you switch it on. Especially useful for family members who live far away and would have come with you if they could.
It is also fine to keep these notes private. This is your health. Sharing is your choice.
Your history of visits
All your past visits stay on My Doctor Visits, newest first. Before your next appointment, scroll back to see the last one. What was the follow-up for? What did they mention watching? What question did you mean to ask again?
Over years, these notes become a small, honest record of your care. You may thank yourself for having them later.
