Healow Tracker Tutorial
During the course of your care with Southwest Orlando Family Medicine, your Clinical Team may ask you to input your health information into Healow on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Tracking your health information with the Healow App helps your Clinical Team better understand your lifestyle so they can provide individualized care based on your health needs. Whether you are tracking your daily steps, heart rate, blood pressure or more, you can do it through the Healow App.
Healow Trackers give you the ability to track your health information on a regular basis. Your Clinical Team will be able to review the data you add during your appointments or when needed. You can track your information manually or through a smart watch or fitness device. We’ll review step-by-step instructions on each method below as well as how to view your information and what fitness devices are compatible with the Healow App.
