FichaMed is a private health journal that lives on your phone. Take care of yourself every day, log visits, symptoms and medications in one place, and see patterns over time. No account. No required cloud. Your health story stays with you. DAILY CARE A simple checklist on your home screen: exercise, water and rest, each with its own daily target. Complete most of it and your streak grows. Log exercise sessions, see your weekly stats and read a new health tip every day. ACHIEVEMENTS 15 badges in bronze, silver and gold celebrate your consistency, from your first care day to a 30-day streak. YOUR HEALTH JOURNAL Build a continuous record: upcoming and past appointments, how you felt, what was prescribed and what to remember next time. The calendar shows your month at a glance. CARE TEAM AND PREP Keep the professionals you see organized by specialty. Before a visit, open the specialty summary so you arrive with context, not scattered notes. MEDICATIONS Keep a list of what you take: dose, how often, since when and who prescribed it. Finished courses stay in your history, and your current list travels into the specialty summary. It is a record, not an alarm clock: FichaMed does not send medication reminders. HEALTH TAB (PRO) Log symptoms with severity and notes, and track weight, blood pressure and blood sugar with charts and full history. Add your height to see your BMI. Choose kg or lb, mg/dL or mmol/L. PRIVACY BY DESIGN FichaMed is local-first and works offline. Health data is not uploaded as a condition of use: it stays on your device unless you export or share something yourself. FICHAMED PRO An optional subscription unlocks the Health tab, your own checklist tasks and targets, insights, the specialty summary with PDF export, multiple profiles, app lock, iCloud backup and more. IMPORTANT FichaMed is a personal organization tool, not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult qualified health professionals for medical decisions. LANGUAGES Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian and French.
