The care loop

OpenCareLoop pays off when you come back. Every time something changes — a new symptom, a symptom getting better or worse, a medication change, a test result, a doctor visit, a new record — that's a reason to loop.

Start with a resync

When you return, ask the agent to catch up first:

This is for Karan. Please resync from his current dossier, then ask what changed.

It gives you a quick status:

  • Active concerns.
  • Current medicines.
  • Latest dated events.
  • Open questions.
  • Anything missing or out of date.

Then it asks a small batch of follow-up questions.

What's worth reporting

Focus on what changed since the last entry:

  • Symptoms that are new, worsening, improving, recurring, or resolved.
  • Medicine starts, stops, dose or timing changes, and side effects.
  • New doctor advice.
  • New lab, imaging, prescription, discharge, or visit records.
  • Home measurements — blood pressure, pulse, temperature, glucose, weight, oxygen.
  • Big shifts in sleep, stress, travel, infection, injury, diet, or activity.

Prepare for an appointment

Before a visit, turn the dossier into something you can hand over:

Please prepare a concise appointment note from Karan's dossier. Include the main concern, a brief timeline, current medicines and recent changes, relevant test results, what's been tried, and the top questions for the doctor.

A good note helps the clinician see the reason for the visit, what's already been tried, what helped or made things worse, and the questions that matter most. Right after the appointment, do a quick brain-dump while it's fresh — the agent folds it back into the timeline.

End each session cleanly

Before you stop, ask for a wrap-up:

Summarize what changed, what's still uncertain, what records or answers are needed next, and which questions should go to the doctor.

That makes the next loop easy to pick up.
