How do I track temperatures and symptoms during care?

When you start care, leave Temperature & symptoms turned on (the default). During the session:

  1. Open the member’s active care session on Care.
  2. Tap Log temperature (or use Next up when a reading is due).
  3. Enter the value, adjust the time if needed, and tick symptoms on the checklist—the same options as in the standalone Temperatures section (now integrated into Care sessions during illness).
  4. Save.

Readings and symptoms appear in the session Activity timeline and in temperature views scoped to this care period, so older unrelated readings do not mix in.

When you start care, you choose how often to be prompted for the next reading (30 minutes to 4 hours). Next up will remind you when a check is overdue. These prompts are part of the care session—not the same as mobile push notifications for long-term routines.

If you do not need fever tracking for an episode, turn Temperature & symptoms off when starting care.
