Smart fever & symptom tracking
When the whole house gets sick, managing care shouldn't feel like guesswork. Go beyond "are they still warm?" with an intuitive family health tracker that visualizes fever patterns and logs symptoms in real time.
Smart fever symptom tracking

A temperature alone rarely tells the whole story. Medication Timer links body temperature readings with symptom checklists so each log captures how someone felt — cough, sore throat, rash, vomiting, not drinking, difficulty breathing, and more — alongside the number on the thermometer.

Log fever and symptoms together

When you record a temperature, tick the symptoms that apply on the same entry. Over a rough week you can scroll back and see what changed — often exactly what a GP asks at an appointment.

Use °C or °F per your preference. Optional reminders prompt the next check on a schedule you choose.

Charts and trends

Review recent readings in a list or chart to see whether a fever is climbing, holding, or coming down after medication. During an active Care session, fever data stays scoped to that illness so last month’s well-child reading does not mix into this week’s flu chart.

Long-range trends and richer chart history are part of Family Care.

Elevated temperature settings

Configure elevated temperature thresholds per household so the app highlights readings that need attention against your clinician’s guidance — not a generic one-size-fits-all line.

Custom symptoms (Family Care)

Beyond built-in symptom chips, Family Care lets you add custom temperature symptoms for your household (for example, a symptom your care team asked you to monitor). Manage these from temperature logging or household settings.

Care vs everyday Temperatures

During illness, start Care and log fever inside the session for a unified timeline with PRN timers and notes. Outside Care, the Temperatures area (or Today) handles routine checks when no one is in an acute episode.

Availability

Free: Temperature logging, built-in symptom checklists, Care-scoped fever logs, basic history within Today’s three-day full-detail window.

Family Care: Custom symptoms, unlimited Today history, health trends, family reports.

Start logging

Open Care during a sick day or Temperatures for a standalone reading. Log the value, tick symptoms, and set a reminder for the next check if you need one.

Medical summary and reports

Family Care
When you're at the doctor's office, "I think they had a fever on Tuesday" isn't as helpful as a precise data log. This feature transforms your daily tracking into comprehensive health reports that map out everything from routine medication adherence, showing exactly what was taken versus what was missed, to as-needed doses and symptom flares. By consolidating vitals like temperature and blood pressure into clear summaries, you provide clinicians with a complete, accurate picture of your family's health history.
