Entering Personal Health History

  1. Enter Biological Sex
  2. Enter conditions you’ve been diagnosed with and the age of diagnosis for each.  If you can’t find your disease or can’t remember something, you can click ‘Next’ and enter it later.
  3. Genetic Testing – if yes, and you’ve tested positive for genes, keep scrolling and choose which genes.  If you’re not sure or have tested negative for all, you can continue without choosing which genes.
  4. Race/Ethnicity – Your race/ethnicity can effect your risk for hereditary diseases.  Pick what best describes you.  You can put more detail on ancestry in the next screen.
  5. Ancestry – you can select more than one, or skip entirely.

Entering Family Health History

  1. Adding Family Members – You don’t have to enter all family members or health details now.  If you get stuck, you can enter any person or data later.  Include as many blood relatives as you can.  You can invite people to fill out their own information at any time.
  2. Profile – all data is optional.  Enter as much as you desire.  Health history data is important!  Click ‘Done’ in the top right corner to save.
  3. Relationship (under Profile) – you can change how someone is related to you (such as changing a sibling to a half-sibling) by changing one of the parents.
  4. When finished, your onboarding is complete!  You can make changes to your family or data by accessing the Family screen or Home screen.
