With the Emento app, you as a citizen can access your care guide on your mobile phone. What is a care guide? A care guide navigates you through your specific course of treatment at the hospital or in the municipality. Continuously, the care guide provides you with the information relevant to your treatment, and it informs you about your appointments at the hospital or with the municipality, as well as how to prepare for them. Finally, you can communicate directly with the department you are affiliated with via your care guide. Note: You can only access your personal care guide once you have been informed by the hospital or municipality that your care guide is ready for you and that you should download the Emento app. If you have multiple courses of treatment at the same time, you can switch between them in the app. You create a profile with MitID and can log in with either Face ID, Touch ID, or username and PIN code. A care guide consists of 4 functions: Appointments: This is an overview of your appointments with the hospital or municipality. Here, you can see the date, time, and address, such as for an operation or a consultation. Tasks: To ensure you are prepared for your appointments, there are a series of tasks throughout the course of treatment - before, during, and after your appointment. A task might be to read about the precautions for anesthesia before an operation (appointment). All content in your care guide is developed by the hospital or municipality. Info: This is general information, such as addresses, parking info, and phone numbers. Messages: Through the message function, you can communicate directly with the department at the hospital or with the municipality.

ParentLog Journal is a private journal for documenting time with your child. Open any date and write what happened. Each day has a summary plus notes in hourly time slots, so your record shows not just what occurred but when. Everything saves as you type. DAILY RECORD Open today with one tap, or pick any date from the calendar. Write a summary of the day and add notes to individual time slots from morning through night. HIGHLIGHT WHAT MATTERS Flag important days and individual moments. Highlighted days appear in orange on the calendar and stand out clearly on the printed record, so the entries that matter are easy to find. EXCHANGE TRACKING Record the scheduled pickup and drop-off times alongside what actually happened. ParentLog Journal calculates how late each exchange ran and totals it for you. Missed or denied visits can be marked in one tap. PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS Attach photos, screenshots, and documents to the day they belong to, each with a caption and the date it was added. They print alongside that day's entries. EXPENSES Log child related costs with receipt photos, categories, and running totals. CATEGORIES AND SEARCH Tag entries as exchange, medical, school, behavior, and more. Search every entry instantly, and filter your printed report to a single category when you only need part of the picture. PRINT AND EXPORT Produce a clean PDF covering everything or any date range. It opens with a summary page showing days recorded, exchanges on time versus late, total minutes late, missed visits, and expense totals, followed by every entry in date order. Print it directly or save and share the PDF. WORKS EVERYWHERE iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Mac. Turn on iCloud and your journal appears on all of your devices automatically. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account and no sign in. Your journal is stored on your device and in your own private iCloud account. Nothing you write is sent to us, and we cannot read it. No analytics, no ads, no third party trackers. You can lock the app behind Face ID or your passcode. TIMESTAMPS ParentLog Journal quietly records when each entry was first written and shows it on the report. ParentLog Journal is a personal record keeping tool. It does not provide legal advice. How your records may be used is a question for your attorney.
