Setup guide · for the person using it
Protocol records what happens between clinic visits and hands your clinician a report at the end of it. It takes about fifteen seconds a day. This page gets you from a link to a working log, and tells you what to do with it after that.
Three things worth knowing
Five minutes, once
Open protocolforwellness.com/app in your phone's browser. There is nothing to download and no account to make.
The address without /app is the page explaining the product. The app itself is at /app, and once it is on your home screen the icon goes straight there.
Where your data goes, your protocol, about you, reminders. All of it can be left blank and changed later.
At the end, choose Start with my own data.
The bar across the top reads Today Cycle Plan Data Report and then ⚙, pinned at the right. Tap the gear, then Setup › Your protocol.
Underneath those fields the app states what the two numbers currently produce. If it reads Each injection · 1.1 mL (220 mg), it is working. If instead it says your dose is recorded in millilitres and nothing else, the vial strength box is still empty — the grey text in it is an example, not a value.
Not for convenience. A browser is allowed to clear its own storage, and phones treat an installed app as something to keep. Your log is what is being kept.
The whole routine
| When | What | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 2–3× daily | Check in. Energy, mood, focus, libido on 1–5, plus a note if anything is worth remembering. Fifteen seconds. Logging morning and afternoon is what makes the time-of-day pattern possible. | Today |
| Daily | The day itself. Sleep hours, weight, steps, whether you trained. Sleep is the field that most often explains a flat day. | Today |
| Each injection | Log it. Date, time, dose, site. The app tracks site rotation for you and shows which have gone longest unused. | Cycle |
| Weekly | Side-effect checklist. One minute. These are the things that come up at a visit and the easiest to forget six weeks later. | Today |
| Each session | Training. Tap a day in the weekly template and it arrives pre-filled with its lifts. Sets take reps and load. | Plan › Train |
| As you like | Food. One tap logs protein on its own. The full breakdown is there if you want it, but rough and recorded beats precise and abandoned. | Plan › Nutrition |
| Each draw | Blood results. Values against your own reference ranges. | Data › Labs |
Miss a day and nothing breaks. There is no streak to lose and no red state — a gap is just a gap, and the app is built to be picked back up.
Worth doing on day one
If you have previous panels, enter them before you do anything else. Go to Data › Labs › Add Blood Draw Results and set the date back for each one — there are −6w −12w −26w −52w shortcuts, and Add and enter an older one keeps the form open so you can work through a folder in one sitting.
This matters more than it sounds. Rate of change, the hematocrit view and every trend line need at least two draws before they say anything at all. A year of history entered in ten minutes is the difference between an app that is useful today and one that stays blank for six weeks.
The reason for all of it
Report builds the visit summary: adherence, symptom averages, the time-of-day pattern, what happened across the interval, behaviour, labs, side effects, injection sites, and the questions you have collected. One or two pages a clinician can read in ninety seconds.
Any screen showing a pattern has an Add this to my visit list button. Use it the moment something occurs to you — those questions print at the bottom of the report with space to write the answer.
Read this once
The app does what it can on its own: it asks your phone to treat the log as non-disposable, keeps rolling restore points on the device, and sets a damaged save aside rather than destroying your history. None of that survives losing the phone.
Only if you are running one
Staff sign in at /staff/ — patients never see that page. From Invites, enter an email, choose a role, and create the invitation.
The token is shown once and only its hash is stored, so there is no way to read it back later. Copy it there and then.
The patient opens the link, or goes to ⚙ › Clinic › I have an invite and pastes the token. They set their own password. Nothing of theirs is visible to the clinic until they turn on sharing, and they can withdraw it at any time.
Once they are sharing, a summary they send from Report › Send it to my clinic arrives under Summaries in the console. It shows as unread until somebody opens it, and the patient can see when it was read and by whom.
To look at the console without an account, open the walk-through — every screen on fixtures, nothing real.
