Records and history
Use this collection to keep records in order: gather what you already have, request what is missing, and maintain a short summary for forms or visits.
Start with How to organize medical records, then move to How to request medical records or the medical history summary template as needed.
Doctor visits and questions
Start with Questions to ask your doctor when the next task is a visit.
A question list can include:
- the main reason for the visit
- the top questions you want to ask
- terms, abbreviations, or test names you want explained
- records or recent changes you want to mention
- space to write down follow-up items during the visit
If it helps, keep the medical history summary template nearby as a short reference.
Results and connected data
Choose this collection based on where the information lives now:
- For report layout, use How to understand lab results. Use this guide to read the sections and labels on a report and prepare questions, not to interpret an individual result.
- For records in more than one place, use Connect medical records to a health app.
- For wearable information you want to keep organized, use Organize wearable health data.
Compare AI tools with a simple checklist
Start with AI health tools for patients. When you compare tools, ask:
- what task is this tool meant to support?
- can you review the output yourself?
- does it clearly explain its limits?
- does it keep medical decisions with your licensed clinician?
- if it connects records or wearable data, does it explain what sources are supported?
Keep family history in one place
Use the family medical history organizer when you want one place to note and update the details you know.
It can help you keep track of:
- which relative had which condition
- which side of the family it came from
- whether the information is exact, approximate, secondhand, disputed, or unknown
- dates, ages, or life stage details if known
- questions to ask relatives later
Pair it with the medical history summary template if you want your own history and family history side by side.
See where Glass for Patients fits
Across these guides, Glass for Patients is most useful for three jobs: organizing health information you provide or connect, reviewing it in one place, and preparing questions for your clinician.
On paid patient plans, medical record connection and supported wearable connection may be available when a source is supported.
