Introducing the Exercise Tracker

[Med Help]

Hi,

Ever since the launch of the first MedHelp tracker, members have flooded us with requests for an Exercise Tracker. We're pleased to announce the much-anticipated Exercise Tracker, the nineteenth tracker in a series of Personal Health Applications (PHAs) that helps our members keep track of health metrics, symptoms, treatments, test results and events.

You can use the Exercise Tracker to track total distance covered during an exercise regimen, the total steps from your pedometer, and the total time at your target heart rate. You can also track what types of exercise you did, for how long, and the intensity of exercise. This information is used to automatically calculate your calories burned if you entered a date of birth and weight during the tracker setup.

As with other trackers, you'll be able to track your symptoms, treatments and medications, and write journals. As always, you choose who you want to share the tracker with - nobody, everybody, or just your MedHelp friends. We'll even send you email reminders to update your tracker based on a frequency of your choosing.

You can access the Exercise Tracker by clicking on the "Trackers" link at the top of the community, from My MedHelp or by going directly to http://www.medhelp.org/trackers/list/129.

We plan on adding more functionality to the Exercise Tracker over the next few weeks and would love to get your suggestions and feedback. If you want to track a specific symptom, medication or event, let us know. Please post your comments in the MedHelp Suggestions community, accessible via My Shortcuts.
