Rou­tine pre­ven­tive care ser­vices to main­tain your health and pre­vent dis­ease for you, your fam­ily, and your pets is one of the most impor­tant things you can do to stay healthy. And as you may know, mobile apps for health are hot these days. There’s an abun­dance of apps that pro­vide an aware­ness of the health of our fam­i­lies and pets. Tech savvy peo­ple are now using apps to track med­ica­tions, pre­na­tal care, alco­hol intake, pain, fit­ness, nutri­tion, and more. How­ever, you’re stuck installing sev­eral apps to track every­thing. This is why Life­Topix is dif­fer­ent. You’re able to track ALL of these items (and more) — in one place, which helps you to under­stand the rela­tion­ships between them. For exam­ple, you’re able to see the cause and effect rela­tion­ships, such as nutri­tion and feel­ings of well being.

Take Con­trol of Your Own Healthcare

Many doc­tors track and prompt you to sched­ule pre­ven­tive care; how­ever, it’s impor­tant to keep a per­sonal record to alert you of pre­ven­tive ser­vices for many rea­sons. For exam­ple, you might change doc­tors, a doc­tor might leave the prac­tice, you might see a vari­ety of doc­tors (both holis­tic and tra­di­tional) to track dif­fer­ent dis­or­ders, or your doc­tor may not rec­om­mend care and tests that are impor­tant for you. Types of ser­vices and items to track include pre­na­tal care, children’s and pets’ immu­niza­tions, pedi­atric pre­ven­tive health, den­tal care, med­ica­tions taken, test results for blood pres­sure, and screen­ing tests such as mammograms.

Watch Your Budget

Keep­ing track of the cost of pre­ven­ta­tive care is also impor­tant for bud­get­ing — and is espe­cially impor­tant if you elect to use an FSA (flex­i­ble spend­ing account). An FSA is a tax-advantaged finan­cial account set up from your employer in the United States, which enables you to use those funds for health care with­out result­ing in pay­roll taxes. If all funds aren’t used by the end of the year, you lose those funds — so keep­ing track helps to remind you if you’re spend­ing the right amount and the right times.

Track­ing — the Life­Topix Way

We’ve included a brief intro­duc­tion about using Life­Topix to track pet pre­ven­tive care below. This guide is meant to pro­vide you with an under­stand­ing of how you can use Life­Topix to track your own needs — your own way. As a reminder, always con­sult a doc­tor about your family’s or pets’ health­care so he or she can rec­om­mend the right care.

In this exam­ple, a fam­ily adopted a new puppy, Lucky. As you know, pup­pies require immu­niza­tions, well checks, and med­ica­tions to pre­vent dis­eases such as rabies, heart­worm, fleas, and ticks. View our slides below to learn how sim­ple it is to track pre­ven­tive care with LifeTopix.
