Care Companion

Version of 25 September 2026. If your printout carries an earlier date, check what changed before relying on it.

A demonstration, made for no one real. Not medical advice.

A demonstration of the kit with an invented person: the records and the words on these pages were made up. It is not medical advice and it decides nothing. Nothing typed into these pages leaves this browser, and on this copy Send goes nowhere.

Who does what

The person who made these pages is a care systems liaison: they work on the records and the questions, and the clinicians named in these pages do the medicine. Nothing here is medical advice: no diagnosis, no treatment advice, no medicine changes. They help you gather your own records, put your own history in one place, write down the questions you want answered, and prepare one page to hand to each clinician. They do not call your clinicians or sit in your appointments; the kit is built so that you do. They work for you, not for any hospital, insurer or doctor (the scope the field certifies as independent patient advocacy). Where AI tools were used to organise or review material, your names were removed first, the pages say what came from where, and those tools are not medical advice either. Everything here is yours: you decide what goes to whom, and you can have all of it back or deleted at any time.

This kit is for visits, not emergencies. A fall with a knock to the head, new confusion, chest pain, trouble breathing, or a reading past the number your clinician gave you (the sitting number the practice wrote on her card): call the clinic today, or the emergency number.

Written with AI, and read against the records. In a real kit these pages are drafted and drawn with AI from the records they cite and the family's own words, and every page is then read against those records by the person who made it. On this demonstration there are no records: every name, date, medicine and reading was made up. The records a real kit cites can themselves be wrong or out of date, and only that person's clinicians can tell them so. Nothing here is medical advice, and nothing here decides anything.

This is a demonstration of the kit with an invented person, Marguerite. Every name, date, medicine, reading and letter on these pages was made up; nothing here is about anyone real, and nothing here is a record a clinician has seen. The kit is made by a care systems liaison, who works on the records and the questions while the clinicians do the medicine: no diagnosis, no treatment advice, no medicine changes. A kit for a real person carries no names.

The living half of the kit: upcoming appointments, the questions to bring (pre-filled from the plan for whichever kind of doctor you are seeing, then yours to edit), and space for thoughts, questions, and change requests. When you want anything in the printed documents updated, press the copy button and paste it all into a message.

Private by design: everything you type here is saved only inside this browser on this device, automatically, as you type. Nothing is sent anywhere. It will still be here when you come back on this device; it will not follow you to another device.

Sending goes to a private form, you see what is being sent before it goes, and nothing leaves this device until you press the button.

Appointments

Pain diary

One entry a day. Not just how high, but where, with a number for every place that hurts. A month of these is a pattern nobody can wave away: bring the summary to every visit.

Weekly measures: spiralling or plateau

One row a week, same day, same way, so that in three months the question "declining, stable, or improving" has an answer instead of a feeling. The columns are the ones most reviews ask a family to keep; change the headings to what matters for this person (the title on each heading says how to take the measure).

Week of The hurries, a dayDays with nothing, and the leakBlood pressure, with pulseThe burningWhat she heardMedicine changes this week

What a change means: a pressure that falls when sitting up with little or no rise in pulse is a finding, not a bad day; a level lost in moving about, or two extra near misses in a month, is a finding; weight moving a kilo a week either way is a finding. Bring the table to every visit.

What keeps her herself

The things that are her are findings too. A garden, a game, a kitchen, a Sunday table, a chair by a window: the family knows which ones matter and which are under threat. Write them here, and when a plan threatens one of them, say so at the visit in one sentence. A clinician can weigh it only if it is on the page.

Movement is part of the plan. For anyone who sits most of the day, every move between rooms is pressure relief, circulation and exercise at once; the aim is help offered for the moves that are hard, not help imposed on the ones that go fine.

Everything that touches her care

Most of what a person does for their health never reaches a chart: the pharmacy vitamins, the chiropractor, the walk after lunch, the three coffees, the flu shot at the supermarket. Four lanes, one line each. The column that matters most is the last one: which clinician actually knows about it. A supplement nobody has told the pharmacist about, or a screening nobody has ordered in six years, is a finding.

What is actually in the chart: a search checklist

A portal search only shows what flowed into that health system. An empty result means "not here", not "never done". Search these words, by specialty; a hit tells you the test exists and its date; an empty result tells you which office to request records from directly, with one question: "do you have records for her from before the date this portal starts?"

Write the empty specialties down as a records-request list. The map of gaps is itself a document: it shows which offices feed the shared chart and which keep their own.

General notes, and changes you want made to the documents

A demonstration kit. The method and the tools are real; the person is invented.
