We tend to think of our health as a series of isolated events—a doctor’s visit here, a blood test there—but your physiology is actually a continuous narrative. By the time you feel a symptom, the underlying data has likely been shifting for months.

The Philosophy: Data-Driven Wellness

The BloodValue template is built for the individual who understands that a single blood pressure reading is just a snapshot, but a year of readings is a diagnostic tool. It moves health management from "feeling okay" to "knowing your metrics." By integrating anthropometric measurements with vital signs, it provides a holistic view of your cardiovascular and metabolic risk that is often more accurate than a once-a-year physical.

The Blueprint: Clinical Metric Integration

The structure of this library is divided into two logical zones: current vitals and longitudinal risk factors.

  • Zone 1: The Vital Pulse: Tracking systolic and diastolic pressure, Pulse, and Temperature provides the immediate baseline of your health. The Glucose field, paired with the Food timing multichoice (before/after meals), is essential for monitoring insulin sensitivity and diabetic risk.
  • Zone 2: Morphometric Risk Analysis: This is where the template moves into professional territory. By logging cm_Waist, cm_Hip, and height (cm), the system automatically calculates the WHR (Waist-Hip Ratio) and WHtR (Waist-to-Height Ratio). Medical research consistently shows these ratios are better predictors of heart disease and diabetes than BMI alone.
  • Automated Risk Calculation: The cm_WaistRisk calculation script provides an instant, objective measure of visceral fat risk, adjusted for gender via the female boolean. It’s a quiet but persistent reminder of where your health stands.

Usage Scenarios: The Clinical Hand-off

You are visiting a new specialist. Instead of trying to remember your average blood pressure or your last fasting glucose level, you show them your Memento history. They can see the Position in which your readings were taken (sitting, laying, or standing) and the exact YearOfEntry. They see a pattern of data, not a collection of guesses. This immediate access to high-quality history allows them to spend more time on treatment and less on discovery.

Power Feature: Calculated Age and BMI

Memento’s calculation engine does the heavy lifting, ensuring that your Age, BMI, and kg_MaxBMI ranges are always current. By tracking your kg weight against your calculated Min/Max BMI, you can visualize your progress toward a healthy weight range without needing to perform manual math or consult charts. It turns a spreadsheet into a personal health dashboard.
