Please note that this article is intended for Healthcare Professionals and is not meant for patients.

This guide explains how to schedule a monitoring session in the Care Portal after a patient has already been created.

Prerequisites

Before scheduling a monitoring session, make sure that:

1. You have access to the Care Portal
2. The patient has already been added to the system

Step 1: Open the Patient Profile

Log in to the Care Portal and navigate to the patients list.

Step 2: Start a New Monitoring Session

Select or hover over the three dots located at the far right of the patient’s row, then tap Request monitoring session.

Step 3: Configure the Monitoring Details

1. Choose the Session type.
2. Choose whether you want to receive an email notification when the report is ready to be previewed and generated:
   
   - Yes: You will receive an email when the report is ready.
   - No: No email notification will be sent.
3. Click Next.

Step 4: Add Medication Reminders

You can optionally add a medication plan before starting the session.

1. Enter the medication plan in the available field, if applicable.
2. Choose one of the following options:
   
   - Add reminders manually
   - Generate medication schedule

The AI-generated medication schedule feature is currently in Beta. The generated information may not be accurate. Review all medications, times, and settings carefully before saving.

For each medication:

1. Enter the medication name.
2. Optionally enter the strength.
3. Set the reminder time using the Hours and Minutes fields.
4. To add additional reminder times, click Add another time and repeat the process.
5. Optionally add a comment, such as dosage instructions or other notes.
6. Select whether the medication is the principal medication.
   
   - The principal medication is the medication whose intake times are displayed in the report.
   - Only one medication can be designated as the principal medication.
    
7. Select whether to enable in-app reminders.
   
   - In-app reminders are always enabled for the principal medication and cannot be disabled.
   - When enabled, the patient receives push notifications at each scheduled intake time.
   - When disabled, notifications are not sent, but medication intake windows remain available for manual logging.
    
8. Repeat these steps for any additional medications.
9. Click Next.

Step 5: Review and Submit

1. Review all session and medication information.
2. Confirm that the details are correct.
