A monitoring checklist for symptoms, blood pressure, CBC markers, labs, side effects, appointments, and clinician questions. Styled XLSX opens in Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets. CSV is still available.
Use the same checklist before every visit
The best monitoring checklist is boring in a useful way. Use the same categories every time so trends are easier to compare.
Bring organized information to appointments, but leave diagnosis, lab interpretation, and treatment decisions with your clinician.
Prioritize patterns over one-off notes
One symptom entry can be noisy. Patterns across symptoms, labs, blood pressure, side effects, and prescription notes are more useful to review.
