When did the night waking start?

Assistant

The first time was on 3 May, after the move to the new room; it passed in about a week. It came back on 21 October, the day of a noisy party at kindergarten. Whether the two are connected, the records don’t say.

History

A fictional family. Entries are written the way parents write them.

How a day becomes an answer

An open notebook, a phone and a cup of tea on a table
  1. Write it down

    Text, voice, a photo or a document. Say when it happened: the day of the event is kept apart from the day you saved it.

  2. Ask in your own words

    The answer is short and gives dates. It says plainly what comes from the records and what is only a guess.

  3. Find it in History

    Every entry stays in the shared History by date. Look it up, correct it, or show it to a doctor.

What it looks like in the app

Two parents, one history

You both add to the same diary and see everything in it. Each of you also has a private conversation with the assistant that the other parent does not see.

A grandparent, nanny, teacher or specialist can be invited too. They add what they noticed in their own language, and you read it in yours. For relatives and specialists

What it will not do

The assistant gives general information in the context of your history. It does not diagnose and does not prescribe treatment or doses.

Your records are for your family and the people you invite.

The app is in a closed pilot
