Mobile Apps – The Body

Use this App to keep track of all your lab results. Whether it’s your CD4 count, your viral load, your cholesterol, or any number of other lab reports, this is the place where you can keep a record of the tests that you may feel are most important.

There is also a journal page to keep a record of anything and everything that happens in your life that you feel is worth noting. Are you experiencing a health issue you want to discuss with your doctor? Recording it here will help you remember things that you may want to talk about at your next visit.

You may also use this page to write down personal things, such as your thoughts throughout the day or an inspirational expression that is meaningful to you.
