Keep check-in dates accurate during exam weeks

Record when the visit happened. A packed assessment schedule can make a week difficult to reconstruct afterward.

What makes this useful

The time you enter a check-in may differ from the time the visit happened.

Use a neutral exam-week label and record observations separately from how you explain them. A consistent label such as “exam week” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Open the optional context and adjust the visit time when you remember it.
  2. Check the calendar date as well as the hour, especially around midnight.
  3. Use a neutral exam-week label and record observations separately from how you explain them. If the “exam week” entry was added later, check that its saved time describes the visit rather than the moment you opened the app.

An example of useful context

“Exam week; visit before the morning session.”

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.

Where this fits in LooPoo

How to keep a bowel diary you can actually use explains the full workflow and its limits.

Use Optional context in the iPhone app for this part of your record. When you are uncertain, preserve that uncertainty in your note instead of suggesting exact recall.

LooPoo keeps check-ins and preferences encrypted on your phone. It describes your observations without diagnosing, treating, or predicting a medical outcome.
