What is “The Mental Load”?
The Mental Load is a term commonly used to describe the labour associated with overseeing and remembering tasks, rather than performing them physically. It involves the responsibility of keeping an exhaustive to-do list in one's mind, managing deadlines, delegating tasks to family members, and ensuring they get done. The mental load is also referred to as "worry work." And this type of work most commonly falls on the shoulders of mothers and carers. Being responsible for all of these tasks has been shown to be stressful, exhausting and can be overwhelming.
What was that medication I had a reaction to?
When is which child due at the optometrist and when did they last go?
Did I remember to record the test results from the last blood test?
What are my child’s vaccination details for yet another school form?
With each passing year, it becomes increasingly challenging to keep track of every detail for the entire family. From monitoring symptoms to scheduling appointments and tests, it can be overwhelming. Our app streamlines the process, ensuring that all important information is readily available and organized.
How KeepTrackMed Can Help Reduce Your Mental Load!
Central to KeepTrackMed is a mission to empower users. Our app strives to be an essential assistant, helping alleviate the complexities and stresses of remembering countless details. Not only can you store numerous medical and health details, but we have also integrated multiple reminders and notifications throughout the app.
For example, when you are adding an appointment and you need to return in 6 months for a follow-up, you can easily select to get a reminder to book the next appointment in 5 months. The reminder will appear on your Reminders list, and you will even get a notification when it’s time to make the appointment. This is especially helpful when managing multiple family member’s appointments, follow-ups and calendars. You won’t have to remember, the Reminders list will do it for you.
Another good example is with our new Skin Tracker. With any skin condition, it’s vital to track how it is progressing. When you add a photo of an issue, you can easily add a reminder on the same page to take the next photo. No more trying to remember if you have done it. And when you are visiting a health care provider, you will be able to show the progression of the item with the side-by-side photo view.
