Understanding activities in Eggmed

Eggmed activities are tools designed to help you and your clients stay engaged and track important aspects of their care. Whether it’s logging moods, tracking sleep, journaling thoughts, or completing forms, these activities provide a well-rounded way to gather insights and personalize treatment. Here's a breakdown of the different types of activities in Eggmed and how to use them effectively.

Types of activities in Eggmed

Eggmed offers four activity types to support your practice:

Mood logs

Mood logs enable clients to record their overall mood for the day by selecting from five options, ranging from "terrible" to "awesome". They can enhance their entry by:

• Attaching specific emotions to their mood.
• Writing a note to explain why they feel that way.
• Uploading an image for additional context.

Clients can log their moods on both the web and mobile app, with the app offering a faster and more intuitive design for seamless logging.

Sleep check-ins

Sleep check-ins allow clients to track their sleep patterns and quality. Clients can log:

• Sleep duration.
• Sleep quality (e.g., poor, average, great).
• Factors affecting their sleep (e.g., stress, physical discomfort).
  They can also add a note or attach an image to their log for further details.

As with Mood logs, Sleep check-ins can be logged on the web or through the mobile app, where the design ensures a smoother, more efficient user experience.

Journaling

Eggmed supports two types of journaling:

• Free journaling: Clients can write freely about their thoughts, feelings, or experiences.
• Guided journaling: You can assign a specific prompt or question to guide their writing.

Both types of journaling allow clients to attach an image to their entry for added context. Journaling is accessible on both the web and mobile app, where the app’s superior interface makes the process more user-friendly.

Forms

Forms are customizable templates you assign to clients for various purposes, including:

• Assessment tools (e.g., GAD-7, PHQ-9).
• Intake forms.
• Treatment planning or gathering additional information.

For more information about creating and managing forms, check out these articles. Forms can only be assigned through the web, but clients can complete them on both web and mobile.

Assigning activities

You can assign activities exclusively through the web platform. Eggmed allows you to set a frequency for each activity, ensuring that it’s assigned automatically over time without requiring repetitive manual assignments. For detailed steps on assigning activities, refer to this article.

Reviewing client activities

You can review activities logged by clients on both web and mobile platforms, giving you the flexibility to stay updated wherever you are. Client-initiated logs for Mood, Sleep, and Journaling are labeled as “shared,” so you can easily identify and review them. For more on monitoring client activities, visit this article.

Eggmed activities bridge the gap between you and your clients by promoting regular engagement and tracking meaningful data. They help clients take an active role in their care while providing you with valuable insights for tailored treatment. By leveraging these tools, you can enhance client outcomes, improve communication, and streamline your practice's workflow.
