Tasks
Tasks are at the core of Proxwell and the best way to manage recurring health and wellness activities, events, and medications for yourself or a Care Recipient. All tasks are logged and tracked so you know exactly when tasks are scheduled and completed.
Adding Tasks
Tasks can be added in a couple of ways:
Directly from the Tasks view
Just tap the ‘+ Add’ button near the top of the screen
From the Care Recipient details view (accessed by tapping on the Proxwell Care Recipient ‘card’ at the top of the screen
Navigate to ‘Activities’ and tap the ‘+ Add’ button at the top of the list
The activities list shows all of the recurring activity types for a Care Recipient while tasks are the unique scheduled instances of those activities
When you are adding a new task you have a number of options available to customize the details of the task.
Category and Subcategory - allow you to define the type of activity or task
Requires Measurement? - add a measurement such as blood pressure, steps, or weight
Frequency - this lets you set how often the task or activity should be performed; in other words how often the task repeats
Times - lets you set the time(s) of day for a given task or activity
Start and End Dates - this lets you schedule tasks to start in the future and end at a particular date. This could be handy for something like a medication regimen that starts next week and lasts for 30 days.
If an end date is not set, tasks will repeat forever until you change or delete them
Grace Minutes - This is an optional, flexible time window during which a completed task is still considered ‘on-time.’
This is perfect for tasks that need a bit of flexibility such as meal times
Reminders - are optional nudges to remind you of an upcoming task
Reminders are handy for those ‘once in a while’ types of activities like an upcoming doctor visit
