BodyTab is divided into four sections:- Body File, Body Track, Body Diet, Body Fit

Each of these provide essential information in keeping your family's health records up to date and accessible.

Body file

A thorough medical folder and files (PC-based and paper folder) for storing medical information and the health history for every member of the family to use.

You can, for example, use your medical file:

• when you visit the doctor
• see a consultant
• change doctors
• change address
• when travelling abroad

Body track

A tool for recording information to learn about, test and monitor family members at home for conditions such as asthma, abnormal cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.

You can read about the six home tests, decide whether to do them and add the results to your file.

Body diet

You need to eat the right amounts and right balance of food to keep to a healthy weight and reduce your risk of health conditions including high blood pressure. Remember that no single item supplies all the nutrients you need for good health.

Body fit

A regular exercise regime is very important for your health and wellbeing.  A simple log can help you maintain a regime and also give your caregiver useful information about this important part of your health.

 Why take health measurements at home?

Home monitoring devices are becoming increasingly popular among many patients and primary-care providers because they allow people to actively take part in their health care. They also provide more health information and measurements to make better decisions. Devices such as peak-flow meters, blood-glucose tests, blood-pressure kits, cholesterol tests and body-mass index calculations have made it easier for patients to accurately monitor and effectively treat long-term conditions such as asthma, diabetes and hypertension.

The devices and kits are available to help with:

• first-time testing
• monitoring and managing asthma, body-mass index, high blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol.

They are convenient and confidential because you use them at home

Using Bodytab

We have developed Bodytab to help you know and understand many of the important things that your body is telling you. This gives you more of an active role in managing your health care and wellbeing.

Over your lifetime and that of your family, Bodytab is about listening to your own body and putting that information into one place – on a PC computer or in a paper folder. If you would like to get updated information on medical conditions or about new tests as they become available, please register at www.Bodytab.ie. This procedure is totally private.

While Bodytab will help you to take more control of your health, do not use it instead of seeing your doctor.
