My Health Dashboard

My Health is your daily body dashboard. It shows you at a glance all your colors for Weight, Body Mass Index, Body Fat, Waist Size, Blood Pressure, Resting Pulse, Cholesterol and Fasting Glucose.

It also has the top part which has the highly popular profile photo which can be set to Default, to the BMI Colored one, of any other photo that may help you focus on the target. Target the new you, target an event, target a vacation, target anything you aim to feel better in your body for.

Beside the profile photo you will find everything you need about your target weight and date. Set them as you like or use the predefine weight loss plans built into it and auto scaled to your body metrics, gender and age.

Underneath the dashboard colored indicators, two buttons are there for you and keep changing as the day go by. They are the "Lifestyle" buttons. They provide information and tips about nutrition and physical activity. How much you should eat to reach your target weight by your target date. How many daily steps should you read on your pedometer at any time during the day. That helps a lot to know if you are living an active day or a rather lazy one. It helps to know how much food you body probably needs that day. Pressing on these lifestyle buttons gives much more. Touch the Nutrition button to see your nutrition plan. To add food notes to your journal. Touch the Activity button to log your steps, your workouts and your minutes of physical activity.

At the very bottom are the three health risks associated with weight problems. Obviously, some of the risks are associated with the aging process and that there is nothing we can do about it. But other than age, there are lots we can do to improve our lifestyle to decrease these risks by eating better, by losing weight, by not smoking, by being more active, etc... The risks buttons will not show any coloring until they have completed data to compute themselves. For that you need to fill almost every measurement including the cholesterol and fasting glucose for which a blood test is necessary and recommended yearly if you are above 40.



Body Weight

The Body Weight page helps you keep track of your Height, Weight, Waist Size, Body Fat and BMI.

Each button shows the last data that you either entered manually or electronically if you are using TactioReady eHealth devices.

Your height and weight are first entered when you complete the Lifestyle Profile Wizard at launch. But then all you need to do to track your weight is to touch the Weight button to enter a new one, hopefully going the way you target your weight to become and save it! It takes a few seconds daily if you do it manually.

Seeing the chart evolve at the bottom with each dot colored according to your BMI is a very motivating asset of the TargetWeight experience. Touching it makes it go full screen where you will find ways to zoom it, see more data and have stats computed for you such as what date you will reach your target!

Touching the colored tabs for Waist and Body Fat will bring you to the Life Saver chart of these measurements where you be able to glance at where you stand, and understand how far you are from another category. The current category is the one that selects the Tab color and the label underneath the value, such as "normal", "overweight", "athlete", etc... If you never entered any body fat data, the system computes it for you with the latest published formula to estimate it. Do not panic on its value. We tried it several times, and it was sometimes close to the measured value but often when it was a few percent off, it was always above the measured one. Take the estimate as an indicator only, or get a scale with Body Fat, it's a great motivator to see your body fat go down as you lose weight!

Last but not least, under the height and weight is a percentile. These numbers are based on the latest published CDC data for American Adults, Teenagers and Children. So depending on your age the percentile is gender and age dependent. It provides a means to see where you stand in a population of people same age and gender. The important thing is not to be a high or low percentile, it is to be in the same percentile range for height and weight so your body is well balanced and you can feel good about yourself.



Active Lifestyle

The Active Lifestyle page helps you keep track of your Daily Steps, your Workouts and your Active Minutes.

The top part shows you your personalized Steps/ Workout Plan. It provides your maximum heart rate and computes your fat burning heart rate range. It also distributes a weekly plan for you of daily steps and workout calories that you should perform to reach your target weight at your desired target date.

In the Activity Tracking chart at the bottom, you can log your steps, workouts and active minutes using the green log button. The chart will display all of them and add some medals that you can earn depending on the step levels you achieve daily.

A bronze medal is earned when you log more then 5,000 steps that day. A silver is earned for over 7,500 steps. Win the gold for making more than 10,000 steps that day! That is the ultimate goal of the Active Lifestyle. You log more then 12,500? Get a golden cup for that day where you were super active! Touching the chart will make it go full screen and you shall then see more details about your activity level.

If you log some active minutes... played tennis, walked the dog, played outside with your loved ones, went for a swim, etc... Simply enter the approximate amount of minutes and set the intensity level to how you felt it. It will be logged, show up on the chart in a bar and will get color coded based on the intensity level you selected.

The key to a well balance wellness is to eat natural, healthy food, to be active and count your steps daily, to weight yourself and once in a while take a blood pressure reading and a yearly blood test. That will get you focused on the right things and you will see your dashboard get greener as you move along this addictive Active Lifestyle plan.



Blood Pressure

The Blood Pressure page helps you keep track of your Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure, computes your Mean Arterial Pressure and also keeps track of your Resting Heart Rate (Pulse).

Each button shows the last data that you either entered manually or electronically if you are using TactioReady eHealth devices.

If you have a reading from your last doctor's visit, simply touch the Blood Pressure button and set it to the values you got from your doctor. By default it will save the data entry as of today, but you can always go back in the history editor to change the date of the entry or to add older ones you may have logged already on a paper or notepad.

If you have a TactioReady Blood Pressure measurement device then there are several ways to have the data enter automatically from the device into the app so you do not need to enter any numbers manually. Go to the eHealth page for that or visit us on the web at www.tactiosoft.com.

At the bottom of the page you shall see a charted history of your blood pressure measurements. Each dot is colored coded according to the American Heart Association Blood Pressure categories. Touching the chart will make it go full screen and you shall be able to see more details as well as change the zoom level.

Touching the colored tabs for Pressure and Pulse will bring you to the Life Saver chart of these measurements where you be able to glance at where you stand, and understand how far you are from another category.

The large button in the center is your Mean Arterial Pressure. That is a computed value from your systolic and diastolic measurements. It is used by health professionals and computer systems to asses your blood pressure category with a single number. The according category is written under the value and if you press that button again another Life Saver chart will help you see where you stand and what are the other surrounding categories from yours.



Nutrition Guidelines

The Nutrition page provides you with your Resting Metabolic Rate, your total number of Daily Calories to maintain your current weight and the total number of Daily Calories to reach your Target Weight by your Target Date, that is only if you are trying something that is considered within the boundaries of a healthy weight loss plan. If you are set to an unhealthy rate, being way too aggressive, then you can try it on your own but TargetWeight PRO will not compute any nutrition plan for you since it is simply unhealthy for you to do so.

If your weight loss plan is reasonable, then the number of daily calories to reach your target will actually get distributed on a weekly nutrition model that allows for 3 meals and a snack daily, and also sets a weekly pace so you are more aggressive on the Monday to Thursday, you let go some to allow some good times on the Friday and Saturday and then on the Sunday you prepare yourself to get back into the Monday to Thursday more aggressive zone.

On the Nutrition page, you will also find a green button at the bottom labeled "Add Note". You can add text, photo or audio notes. These will complement your journal and help you over time remember some of the nutrition moments that made you achieve of set back from your target weight and date. The notes help document your measurements. In fact, you can enter notes anywhere in the app by tapping on the top right menu button and touching Notes from the pull down menu bar that appears.

The Calorie Search button brings you to a web search of nutrition facts so you can find the information you are looking for at the time you are thinking about it.

Setting yourself to weekly paced healthy habits is key to living a better, healthier and more active lifestyle.



Cholesterol & Glucose

The Cholesterol page helps you keep track of your Low Density Lipids (LDL, the bad ones), High Density Lipids (HDL, the good ones), Triglycerides and your Fasting Glucose level.

Each button shows the last data that you either entered manually. As of this writing, data on this page must be entered manually since there are no labs or clinics that electronically connect to these measurements as per TactioReady eHealth.

If you are above 40, you probably want to have a yearly blood test to gether some historical data for these parameters and get your health profile completed in the dashboard with all your health risks. It is motivating to see the dots on the chart below getting towards the green zone or even that dark green "optimal" zone.

Touching the colored tabs for LDL or HDL will bring you to the Life Saver chart of these measurements where you be able to glance at where you stand, and understand how far you are from another category. Same applies to the other measurements.

The large button in the center is your Total Cholesterol which is a computed value from your LDL, HDL and Triglycerides. Just like BMI for Weight and Mean Arterial Pressure for Blood Pressure, it is a single number indicator of the overall Cholesterol and makes it easy and fast for health professionals and software systems to assign a category. But to clearly understand your Cholesterol level and how your daily lifestyle nutrition and activity decisions can affect or improve.



Electronic Health System




The Electronic Health page is where all the "TactioReady" devices that you can use with TargetWeight PRO can be setup to sync with the app.

As of this writing, the eHealth page has 3 sections: Activity Monitors, Body Scales and Blood Pressure. With time and from the combination of user request and manufacturer interfacing ability, we will add more devices to the list from which you will be able to scroll.

You can obviously enter any information in the app manually and you can also edit past records and current records to change their values and dates. But when you use eHealth TactioReady devices, you no longer need to enter much data into the app as it logs it in automatically upon syncing with these devices.

For example, if you make yourself an A&D Medical home health system with TargetWeight PRO, then you need a Wahoo Fitness ANT+ Key, and with it in your iPhone, you can sync data from any of the 3 A&D Medical home health products, the Activity Monitor, the Body Scale and the Blood Pressure Device.

If you want to use WiFi as the mechanism to sync, then you can make a home health system for your family with the Withings products, that is their scale and blood pressure device.

Touching these products launch a wizard or a setup page to guide you towards eHealth sync with ease. This page brings you into the future of eHealth today with products that you can buy from Tactio's website or at most retail locations such as the Apple Stores and your local CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid Pharmacy.

Electronic Health, brought to you Tactio style: simple, easy and cool.
