Why track reminders separately from doses?
Because they fail differently. A reminder that fired and was ignored is a different problem from one that never fired, and the fix is different too. Recording both tells you which one you actually have.
Tracking framework
GLP-1 Reminder Tracker
Reminder tracking is about protecting consistency when life gets busy. Velto helps you keep next dates and routine context visible.
Best for
GLP-1 users whose main difficulty is remembering the dose on schedule, particularly on non-weekly intervals.
Primary signal
Reminder reliability and next-date accuracy.
Velto fit
Reminders follow custom intervals rather than assuming a weekly cycle.
What to track
| Signal | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Main pattern | The planned date and the date the dose was actually taken. |
| Context 1 | Whether the reminder fired and whether you acted on it. |
| Context 2 | What got in the way on the weeks it slipped. |
| Context 3 | How far the schedule has drifted from the original cadence over time. |
Weekly tracking framework
- Step 1Set the next reminder as part of logging the current dose, never as a separate task.
- Step 2Record misses honestly; a log that hides them cannot show you the pattern.
- Step 3Look for the circumstances behind slips: travel, weekends, supply gaps.
- Step 4Check cumulative drift monthly, since small slips compound quietly.
Questions for your clinician
- How much day-to-day variation is acceptable on my schedule?
- If I realise late that I have missed one, what should I do?
- Does my adherence pattern change what you would recommend?
How Velto helps
- Reminders follow custom intervals rather than assuming a weekly cycle.
- Planned and actual dates are stored separately, so drift is measurable.
- Missed doses stay in the record with their context instead of vanishing.
FAQ
What is schedule drift and why does it matter?
Small slips compound. A dose taken a day late most weeks moves your schedule steadily without any single week looking wrong. Recording planned and actual dates separately makes the cumulative drift visible.
Should I record missed doses even though it is uncomfortable?
Yes — a log that quietly omits them cannot show you the pattern, and the circumstances behind slips are usually the actionable part. What to do about a missed dose is a question for your clinician.
