Your prescriber does not need a Loopa account. You mint a single link with a passcode, give it to them, and they fill in a web form once. Nothing they send changes anything until you have looked at it and accepted it.
Protocols are a Loopa Premium feature.
Making the link
Health › Protocols, pick the protocol, then Your prescriber and Send a link.
Choose a passcode of at least 6 characters. Loopa will not invent one for you, because you have to be able to tell them what it is.
Choose how long it lasts. 7 days by default, 30 at most.
You get a link.
In the app you can send a link for a GLP-1, testosterone, hormone therapy or peptide protocol. A link for a bariatric care team is made in a browser, under Your prescriber links.
Each link can be used once. Their first submission with something in it spends the link. Opening it, a wrong passcode or an empty form does not use it up.
The link is shown once and cannot be recovered. Nothing in the app can show it to you again. If you lose it, revoke that share and mint another.
Give the passcode by a different route from the link. A link and its passcode in the same message is one message away from being useful to anybody who reads it.
You can have 3 open links at a time. Revoke one to make room.
What they see
A plain web page. They enter the passcode, fill in the form, and submit. They do not see your food log, your weight, your check-ins or anything else in your record.
Reviewing what came back
A submission waits under Waiting for you on the Your prescriber screen. Loopa does not send a notification, so look there after your prescriber says they have filled it in. Tap Review, not Accept: the screen shows what accepting would change before it changes it.
For GLP-1, testosterone, hormone therapy and peptide protocols the review lists the areas their protocol covers: what you take and when, cautions for you, monitoring, and a missed dose. Once you accept, Loopa stops showing published guidance for those areas and tells you your prescriber has covered them.
For a bariatric protocol you get a per-section summary: each section marked as theirs or published, how many lines are in each, and every stage, supplement line and blood test they sent. It is deliberately not a field-by-field comparison, because the decision is whether to take your care team's version of a section, and a field-level list invites answering it field by field.
Then Accept or Decline.
When Accept refuses
- "Recorded for a different procedure." Their protocol names a procedure other than the one on your profile. Check your procedure, or ask them for a link for the one you had. The button is disabled rather than hidden, so you can see why.
- "Set up your bariatric track first." There is nothing for their protocol to attach to yet.
Both say what is wrong rather than failing generically, because a button that refuses without explaining is a button people press again.
Taking it back
Stop using their plan, or delete the record in the app. Either withdraws what they sent, and the published reference guidance comes back, labeled as published. Both need your Premium to be active.
Changing the procedure on your profile also withdraws it. Rows keyed to a procedure you no longer claim are not wrong so much as unreachable, and leaving them would have the app claiming a clinician protocol while showing you a different one.
What your care team cannot do
- See anything in your record. The form is one-way.
- Change anything without your acceptance.
- Remove your history. A bariatric care team can mark a published supplement line Stop this one, and the app then shows it as stopped by your care team, but nothing they send deletes anything you logged.
