A visible monthly summary (activity analytic dashboard) can help users motivate and keep a long-term activity routine.
Organize/Make Appointments
Creating a calendar with all the doctors’ and health-related contact info can help users quickly make appointments with reminders and make it easy to see their overall medical and health schedule.
