Record stool shape during interrupted check-ins

Remember the closest illustrated shape. A call or another task can interrupt a check-in before you know whether it was saved.

What makes this useful

A plain description of shape is easier to revisit than a vague memory that something was different.

Reopen the app and check the saved record before starting the visit again. A consistent label such as “interrupted entry” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Choose the closest of the seven illustrated options. Exact visual matching is not required.
  2. Keep shape separate from comfort and other observations; they answer different questions.
  3. If several visits during interrupted check-ins looked different, give each visit its own shape choice. A shared “interrupted entry” note can group them without flattening the differences.

An example of useful context

“Morning visit; interrupted while adding the note.”

Is there already a saved visit with the date and details you intended?

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

Using a Bristol stool chart app to record shape explains the full workflow and its limits.

Use Check-in in the iPhone app for this part of your record. The shape selection describes what you recorded and does not diagnose a condition.

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