Sharing Reports with Your Doctor

Your Trendwell data is valuable for medical conversations. It provides insight into your day-to-day health that occasional office visits can't capture. Here's how to share reports effectively with your doctor.

Why Share Tracking Data?

Home Data Is Different

Home tracking captures:

• Daily patterns
• Response to inputs
• Trends over time
• Real-world behavior

Office visits only see:

• Single snapshot
• Potentially elevated (white coat effect)
• No context

Better Conversations

Tracking data enables:

• More informed discussions
• Clearer trend analysis
• Data-backed questions
• Collaborative decision-making

Key Insight: Your data complements medical evaluation. It doesn't replace it, but makes it more effective.

Preparing Reports

Summary Report

The most useful format:

• Key averages
• Trend direction
• Notable patterns
• Simple charts

One page is ideal. Doctors are busy.

What to Include

Outcome data:

• Average reading (BP, weight, etc.)
• Range (lowest to highest)
• Trend direction

Input patterns:

• What you've been tracking
• Key correlations you've noticed

Your observations:

• What seems to work
• What you've tried
• Questions you have

What NOT to Include

• Every single reading (overwhelming)
• Daily analysis (too detailed)
• Your self-diagnosis (let doctor interpret)

How to Share

Print Report

• Generate PDF in Trendwell
• Print or save to device
• Bring to appointment

Digital Share

• Email before appointment
• Upload to patient portal
• Show on phone if needed

Verbal Summary

If time is limited:

• "My average BP at home is 134/86"
• "Trend has been improving over 6 weeks"
• "I notice higher readings after poor sleep"

Having the Conversation

Start with Summary

"I've been tracking my [outcome]. My average is [X], and the trend is [direction]. Here's the report."

Share Your Observations

"I've noticed that [input] seems to correlate with [outcome change]."

Ask Questions

• "Does this pattern make sense?"
• "Should I focus on any particular input?"
• "Is this trend moving in the right direction?"

Be Open to Interpretation

Your doctor may:

• See patterns you missed
• Interpret data differently
• Suggest changes to what you track

Doctor-Specific Considerations

For Blood Pressure

Share BP data showing:

• Home averages vs. office readings
• Morning vs. evening patterns
• Response to any medications

For Weight

Share:

• Trend over time
• Weekly averages
• What inputs you've changed

For Energy/Sleep

Share:

• Quality ratings over time
• Sleep patterns
• Correlation with other inputs

If Your Doctor Doesn't Know Trendwell

Explain Simply

"I use an app to track inputs that affect my [outcome]. It shows me patterns over time. Here's a summary."

Focus on Data, Not App

The data matters more than the tool:

• Share the insights
• Don't demo the app
• Keep focus on health

Offer to Explain Method

If interested:

• Brief overview of input-based tracking
• How you track
• Why it helps you

Regular Sharing

At Each Visit

Bring updated data:

• Since last visit
• Show trend continuation
• Discuss changes

Between Visits

Some practices accept:

• Portal messages with updates
• Emailed summaries
• Alerts for concerning patterns

Ask what your doctor prefers.

Next Steps

• Read: Exporting Your Data from Trendwell
• Read: Sharing BP Data with Your Doctor
• Prepare: A one-page summary for your next appointment
• Ask: How your doctor prefers to receive tracking data

Your tracking data bridges the gap between appointments. Share it to make the most of medical care.
