The '''Vitals screen''' is where you log and review readings like blood pressure, resting heart rate, blood glucose, INR, and sleep. You reach it from [[Today's Page]] — scroll down to '''The Log''' and tap '''Vitals''' — or straight from [[The Quick-Log button]] by choosing '''Vitals'''. See [[Using the iOS app]] for the wider tour, and [[Vitals tracking]] for the background on why these numbers matter.
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== Logging a reading ==
The top of the screen is a '''New Reading''' card with a stepper field for each measurement. Type a value or use the −/+ steppers:
- '''Systolic''' — mmHg (steps of 1)
- '''Diastolic''' — mmHg (steps of 1)
- '''Resting HR''' — bpm (steps of 1)
- '''Glucose''' — mg/dL (steps of 1)
- '''INR''' — no unit (steps of 0.1)
- '''Sleep''' — hours (steps of 0.5)
You only fill in what you have — one field is enough. The '''Log Reading''' button stays dimmed until at least one field holds a number, then turns on. Filing saves the reading, clears the fields, drops a '''LOGGED''' confirmation, and adds the entry to your history. A keyboard '''Done''' button dismisses the number pad.
Blood pressure and glucose are grounded here in [[Blood glucose]] and [[Vitals tracking]]; if you're tracking INR because of a blood thinner, [[INR and blood thinners]] explains the ranges.
== The status badge ==
When a reading includes both systolic and diastolic, a heart-icon badge classifies the blood pressure using AHA-style categories, and it always pairs the color with a word so it never depends on color alone:
- '''Normal''' — systolic under 120
- '''Elevated''' — systolic 120–129
- '''High-1''' — 130+ systolic or 80+ diastolic
- '''High-2''' — 140+ systolic or 90+ diastolic
- '''Crisis''' — 180+ systolic or 120+ diastolic
The badge is a quick read, not a diagnosis.
== The record ==
Below the entry card, '''The Record''' lists your past readings grouped by day, newest first. Each entry shows the time it was logged and the stats it carries — '''BP''' (systolic/diastolic), '''HR''', '''Glucose''', '''INR''', and '''Sleep''' — with the blood-pressure badge on the right. A day can hold several readings, each shown on its own line.
If you've never logged anything, you'll see the empty state '''"Nothing logged yet — Log a reading to start your vitals record."'' Pull down on the list to refresh it, and if a load fails you'll get a retry prompt.
== Deleting a reading ==
Press and hold any reading to bring up its context menu, then choose '''Strike from the record'''. A confirmation dialog asks '''"Strike this reading from the record?"''' with a '''Strike reading''' button; confirm and the entry is removed, with a '''STRUCK FROM THE RECORD''' toast. Older single-reading days can be struck the same way.
== Where these numbers go ==
Your latest sleep, blood pressure, and INR feed the glance shown on [[Today's Page]], and the full history flows into the charts on [[Trends on iOS]]. Sleep hours logged here are the same figure you can save from the Sleep check-in — see [[Daily check-ins]].
