Health & Lookout

How it works

The mechanics of this kit, plainly — what runs and when, where the data lands, and what you look at.

• Care sweep runs sundays · 8am and keeps the Health & Lookout dashboard fresh. Sundays — keeps the record true and the picture current. Reads nothing you haven’t named.
• Daily medication check runs every evening · 8pm. One question in the evening — did you take them?
• Monthly watch runs monthly · 1st · 9am. Once a month, Willow reads everything — and speaks only if something clears the bar.
• What is captured lands in the About you dataset, which lives at Data/Health Profile in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Health intake dataset, which lives at Data/Health Intake in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Conditions dataset, which lives at Data/Conditions in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Episodes dataset, which lives at Data/Episodes in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Medications dataset, which lives at Data/Medications in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Doses taken dataset, which lives at Data/Doses in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Care record dataset, which lives at Data/Care Record in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Health watch dataset, which lives at Data/Health Watch in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Readings dataset, which lives at Data/Health Readings in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Questions to ask dataset, which lives at Data/Questions to Ask in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Care costs dataset, which lives at Data/Care Costs in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• The Health & Lookout dashboard reads from the dataset and shows, at a glance: your history, on file · typical severity, month by month · episodes logged · doses a day · which condition, how often · due and overdue · today's medicines · questions for the appointment · typical reading, month by month · what care has cost, by kind · days you were affected · what is coming · days you took everything · what this is · what you live with · under watch, by urgency.

The wiring, in one breath: Willow runs Health consultation · Health consultation keeps its place in Health intake · Health intake grounded by About you · Health consultation fills in Conditions · Conditions logged against in Episodes · Episodes fed by Episode capture · Episode capture records Medications · Medications checked by Daily medication check · Daily medication check writes to Doses taken · Doses taken shown by Health & Lookout · Health & Lookout kept fresh by Care sweep · Care sweep writes to Care record · Care record filed by Care filing · Willow keeps watch with Risk review · Risk review writes to Health watch · Health watch kept current by Monthly watch · Willow sends you prepared with Record pack · Willow holds Readings and results · Readings and results writes to Readings · Willow holds Appointment questions · Appointment questions writes to Questions to ask · Willow holds Emergency card · Willow holds Costs and cover · Costs and cover writes to Care costs.

Getting the most from it

A kit earns its place when it changes what you look at and what you say, not when it is installed. This is the rhythm that makes it pay.

• Do the consultation in sittings — two or three areas at a time. The record keeps your place, and the kit only knows what the record holds.
• Say episodes as they happen, with how bad — "migraine, a seven, most of the afternoon" — and forward clinic letters to Willow. The timeline files itself.
• Answer the evening medication question in a word, and ignore it when it does not apply. There is never a second ask.
• Enable checks by name only when a channel surfaces — "check my email for the clinic's letters". Nothing outside is read otherwise.
• Read the Monthly watch as calibration: most months, silence is the watch working. When Willow flags something, ask for the record pack and take it to the appointment — a flag is never a diagnosis.
• Tick your medicines off with Today’s medicines on the board, one at a time — add the amount when yours varies. A tick is the same line as telling Willow, and on a day you have ticked, the evening question does not ask.
• Say readings and costs as they happen — "blood pressure 128 over 82 this morning", "the physio was 55" — and ask how a reading has gone or what care has cost this year. You get your own figures, set out plainly, never a verdict on them.
• Before an appointment, tell Willow what you want to ask. In the room, Questions for the appointment takes you through the list a question at a time; afterwards the appointment is written up on your Care record in your words. Ask for your emergency card again whenever what you take changes: it is rebuilt only when you ask.

Make it yours

Nothing here is fixed. The pieces are ordinary agents, routines, datasets and dashboards, so anything you know about shaping those applies. Retire whatever earns nothing.

Things people usually change first

Say any of these in chat, or edit them on the kit’s page in the app.

• Where the records live — some people move them into a private folder with the rest of their medical paperwork, and it remembers.
• Which checks the weekly sweep may run — each email or calendar check is enabled by name in conversation, and can be switched off the same way.
• Whether the evening medication question is asked at all, and at what time.
• How deep the consultation goes in a sitting, and which areas to leave alone entirely.
• What stays open on the Health watch — a concern your doctor has ruled out, marked so on the watch, is not raised again unless the picture materially changes.
• What goes on your emergency card — anything you would rather a stranger did not read stays off it, and Willow remembers.

Your first run

Installing starts a short setup conversation — not a form. Answer roughly, correct later.

1. It opens with a conversation, not a form and not an empty screen. Willow — the keeper who writes your record — offers the whole territory of health a few areas at a time as tap-to-answer panels: heart, breathing, digestion, sleep, mind, medications, operations, what runs in your family. Most answers cost one tap. Before it asks, Willow looks at what 1Presence already holds about you and at any results, letters or prescriptions in your vault, offers what it finds for you to confirm, and writes nothing until you say yes. It also offers, once, to look through your past conversations here for mentions of your health: a yes may bring up a card where you choose how much of them it may read, and a no ends it.
2. Where something does affect you, Willow slows down and asks properly — when it started, how it shows up, what sets it off, what you have tried, who looks after it. Everything is written down as you speak.
3. You can stop at any point. The record knows which areas are covered and which are still unasked — and while any of it remains, the kit's page, its dashboard and a fresh chat with Willow quietly offer to continue, so weeks later one tap resumes exactly where you were. Nothing nags; the offer just stays until the record is whole. An area with nothing to record counts as covered, and if you tell Willow you have finished, the offer stops.
4. Nothing reads your email or calendar out of the box. If the conversation surfaces a clinic that emails your appointments, Willow offers that specific check by name — and only what you switch on is ever read, going back a year the first time so the record gains its history.
5. From then on it is conversational: say you had a migraine and how bad it was, forward the letter from the clinic, mention the new prescription.
6. And once a month Willow reads the whole record through. Most months that ends in silence. When something genuinely clears the bar, you get one card: what was noticed, why, and who to see, with your record packed and ready to take along. Never a diagnosis, never a treatment suggestion.

Watch the first pass, then tell it what you would have done differently — that correction teaches it more than any setup could.
