The vitals tab is essential for tracking your clients' progress and well-being. This tab is used to store important information including height, weight, measurements, blood pressure and more!
Height
Input the client's height in feet and inches.
Weight and Goal Weight
Include the client's current weight and their total goal weight in lbs.

+/- Start and +/- L. Visit
Change in start and change in last visit monitors their weight differential since the start of the client's program and their change in weight since their last visit. The + sign resembles weight gain, the - sign signifies weight loss.
Prev Weight
Previous Weight keeps track of the client's weight as initially recorded in the Pre-Treatment screen, accessed from your Client's Profile in the Client List.
If the client does not have any previous pre-treatment records, you will not see any information on the Pre-Treatment popup.
If the client has previous pre-treatment records, you will see that information in the fields on the Pre-Treatment popup. If you replace the information with the newest data from the active appointment, you can click Save and it will add the new data to the client's record.
Calculate and BMI
Clicking the Calculate button will automatically calculate the client's BMI (body mass index) using the height and weight you saved to their profile. Once calculated, the program will also automatically categorize the client as Underweight, Normal, Overweight, Obese I, Obese II, or Obese III next to their BMI calculation.
