Health Check-In
A single-user, phone-first app for logging how someone is feeling through the day and seeing trends over time. Tracks fatigue, fevers and medication on/off cycles.
What it does
- Check in (10 seconds): fatigue 1–5, fever yes/no (+ optional temperature), optional heart rate typed in from the watch, medication on/off toggle, optional note.
- Trends: fatigue line over shaded medication-on periods, a fever-day strip, current fever streak, days on/off meds. 7/14/30/90-day views.
- History with delete, CSV export/import.
- Random reminders: N check-ins/day at random times inside a chosen window.
- All data is stored on the device (IndexedDB). No account, no server.
Run it
It is static files, no build. python3 -m http.server 8123 then open http://localhost:8123.
To install on a Pixel, host it over HTTPS (GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify) and in Chrome choose Install app.
Google Sheets sync (optional)
Settings → Connect Google Sheets creates a sheet called "Health Check-Ins" in the user's own Drive and rewrites it with all check-ins on each sync (so deletes carry over). It uses only the drive.file scope, so the app can see only that sheet. Family can be given access with Drive's normal Share button and read it in Sheets, no extra app needed. Without a client ID the button is hidden; "Share CSV" and "Export CSV" always work.
One-time setup (needs a Google account, ~5 min):
- In Google Cloud Console create a project, enable Google Sheets API.
- Create an OAuth client ID of type Web application; add the hosted site's URL (and
http://localhost:8123 for testing) under Authorized JavaScript origins.
- Put the client ID in
config.js. While the consent screen is in "Testing", add the user's Google account as a test user.
Hosting (GitHub Pages)
.github/workflows/pages.yml runs the tests and deploys to GitHub Pages on every push to main. One-time: repo Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions. The site will be at https://<user>.github.io/HealthTracker/; on the Pixel open it in Chrome and choose Install app. Use that URL as the OAuth authorized origin (https://<user>.github.io, no path).

Known limits / next steps
- Reminders in a PWA are best-effort. Android Chrome cannot reliably fire local notifications while the app is closed. They fire while the app is open or recently active. Reliable background reminders need either web push from a small server, or a native app.
- Pixel Watch heart rate and temperature are exposed to apps through Android Health Connect, which web apps cannot read. Doing this needs a small native Android wrapper (e.g. Kotlin or Capacitor with a Health Connect plugin) that syncs readings into the same data. Planned as a later step.
- Fever threshold alert is simple (3+ consecutive fever days). Not medical advice; the care team decides when to pause medication.
Tests
node --test runs the stats helpers.
