Start with one honest source
A useful first week does not require perfect coverage. One wearable sync, export, or recording is enough to make the workspace real.
Tutorial
Your first week with OfRoot.
A calm way to make the workspace useful quickly: bring in one signal, add symptom context, read the short summary first, and carry a clearer story forward when care gets rushed.
Before you start
Make the first week small, honest, and useful.
The goal is not perfect tracking. The goal is a record you can trust when you need to remember what changed.
Context matters as much as the number
Stress, travel, dehydration, poor sleep, illness, and symptoms give the signal meaning. Capture lived context early so the story stays grounded.
The goal is a calmer visit
OfRoot is most useful when it reduces memory burden before care. Build a clearer account of what changed instead of trying to remember everything later.
First-week guide
Five steps are enough to get real value.
Follow these in order and the workspace will start behaving like a health memory instead of an empty shell.
Bring in your first useful signal
Open Activity and start with one source: a wearable export, a recent recording, or the first stream that reflects what has been happening lately.
Log how you actually felt
Use Symptoms to capture palpitations, dizziness, discomfort, fatigue, poor sleep, or anything else that makes the timeline easier to interpret later.
Read Summary before you chase detail
Your Summary page is the quickest orientation point. It tells you whether data is ready, what changed against your own baseline, and whether anything needs closer follow-up.
Use quick check-ins when they help
If your workspace includes camera PPG, use it for short before-and-after check-ins around symptoms, workouts, travel, dehydration, or poor sleep. Retry when signal quality is poor.
Carry the story into the next visit
When something still feels off, use your timeline, alerts, and reports to prepare better questions and arrive with a cleaner record of what changed.
Inside the workspace
Know where to look when you log in.
The names inside OfRoot are simple on purpose. Each area has a clear job in the story you are building.
Summary
Your orientation layer. Start here when you want the short version of what changed, what is steady, and what deserves attention.
Activity
The place for device data, uploads, recordings, and a more detailed view of what reached OfRoot.
Symptoms
The lived side of the record. Use this to anchor numbers to how you felt, what you were doing, and what might explain the shift.
Alerts and reports
Use alerts for follow-up cues, not panic. When needed, turn the timeline into something easier to review or bring into care.
One important expectation.
OfRoot is most useful when it helps you slow down the moment before a visit. It is there to make trends, symptoms, and recent changes easier to recall and explain. It is not there to diagnose you.
If you want the philosophy behind that approach, read the approach page. If you are already a member, go to Member Login and start with Summary, then Activity, then Symptoms.
FAQ
Questions people ask in the first week.
Do I need to connect everything on day one?
No. The best start is one useful source plus a little context. You can expand the record over time without losing the thread.
Should I log every symptom?
No. Log the moments that clarify the story: when something felt different, stronger, more frequent, or worth remembering later.
When should I use camera PPG?
Use it as a quick check-in when you want more context around a moment, not as a replacement for ECG review, diagnosis, or urgent care. Availability may vary by workspace.
Is OfRoot giving me medical advice?
No. OfRoot supports preparation, awareness, and clearer conversations with qualified clinicians. It is not a medical provider or diagnostic service.
