Start your first dossier

Start with one person and one clear reason for opening the dossier. The first session doesn't need to capture everything — it just needs enough structure for future sessions to build on.

Your first message​

Tell the agent who this is for:

This is for Karan. Let's start a new OpenCareLoop dossier for him.

If that person already has a folder, resume instead of starting over:

This is for Karan. Please resume his existing dossier before asking new questions.

What to have ready​

The agent asks in small batches, so you can answer as you go. Helpful first answers:

  • Age or date of birth.
  • Height and current weight, if known.
  • City and country.
  • Preferred language for notes.
  • The main concern, in the person's own words.
  • When it started.
  • Current medicines, doses, and timing.
  • Allergies or bad reactions.
  • Known diagnoses, surgeries, hospitalizations, or major illnesses.
"Unknown" is a real answer

It's fine to say "unknown" or "I need to check." The agent marks missing information as missing — it won't guess, and it won't fill gaps with assumptions.

What you'll have after​

By the end of the first session, the dossier holds:

  • A short profile.
  • Current concerns.
  • A dated timeline.
  • Current medicines, plus important past ones.
  • Questions to ask the doctor.

Keep this first version short. It gets more valuable every time you come back with better dates, records, and answers — that's the loop.
