Before you start
- You need an invite from your care team (QR code or email link).
- Demo screens use example data only - use your real invite in the live app.
- Most first-time setup takes around 5-7 minutes; later check-ins are usually 2-3 minutes.
Step 1
What Patient Watch is
Treatments affect everyone differently. Patient Watch helps your clinician see how you are recovering between visits. You answer short questionnaires on your phone - they turn into a chart like the one in the demo.
Your recovery over time
Short questionnaires become a chart you and your care team can both see.
Example VAS pain score (0-10). Lower is better.
- •Care tailored to you based on how you are actually recovering
- •A record of your progress you can look back on with your team
- •Gentle SMS or email reminders when an entry is due
- •Works in your browser - nothing to install
- You are not being tested - there are no right or wrong answers, just an honest snapshot at each time point.
- Tap How to get started on the demo screen to preview the invite flow.
- When you have a real invite, use Get started for real to open the live app.
Step 2
Confirm your account
You should have an invite from your care team. Confirm the email or phone they used for you - that is how we know it is really you before opening your diary.

Step 6
Set your date
Tell us when your procedure or treatment happened. We use that date to work out when to send reminders, and so you and your care team can see how things change from that day.
Demo only - example data. Do not enter your real details here.
When was your treatment?
We schedule reminders from this date and track change from the day of treatment. Example only here.
- Pick an example date in the demo, tap Save, then Next.
- In the live app, use your real treatment date.
Step 7
Complete your questionnaires
These are standard clinical questionnaires, developed and validated by researchers to measure pain and function. Your care team uses the same kind of tools in research and practice.
Demo only - example data. Do not enter your real details here.
