EverlyCare 快速上手指南

EverlyCare 是一款专为面临阿尔茨海默症、脑中风等身体局限的家庭打造的节律照护应用。它会学习被照护者每天的生活节律——包括下一次可能需要如厕的时间——帮助家人在意外发生之前提前应对，而不是事后弥补。App 功能源自真实的照护经验，现已在 App Store 上线。EverlyCare 旨在用科技拂去日常护理中的焦虑，在减轻家人负担的同时，守护那份难得的体面与从容。

5 分钟即可掌握核心用法。只需记住一句话：坚持记录三天，规律自会浮现。

1. 注册与登录

打开 App → 点击注册 → 填写邮箱、密码与称呼 → 阅读并勾选隐私政策 → 完成。
忘记密码时：在登录页点击「忘记密码」→ 查看邮箱 → 点击最新邮件中的链接 → 直接在 App 内设置新密码。

2. 添加被照护者

首次进入时，App 会引导创建被照护者档案，填写姓名、出生年份、与照护者的关系等信息。创建过程中需确认：记录者有权代这位家人记录照护信息（代理同意）。

💡 档案信息可随时在「档案」页补充或修改，先填最基本的内容即可开始使用。

3. 日常记录（核心功能）

主页底部的大按钮是所有记录的入口：如厕、排便、餐食、饮水、用药、情绪……选择对应类型，几秒即可记完。
· 如厕 / 排便：仅记录时间就已很有价值；如能判断，可一并选择量与形态（Bristol 分型）；
· 饮水：主页设有快捷水量按钮，轻点一下即可记录（长按可自定义常用量）；
· 意外（失禁）：请如实记录，无需自责——它恰恰是发现规律最关键的线索。

💡 记录贵在坚持，而非完美。每天记录 4 次以上、坚持一周，「分析」页便会开始呈现出老人专属的作息规律。

4. 提醒与通知快捷记录

在「提醒」页可为饮水、用药等设置提醒。当提醒通知弹出时：
· 直接点击通知上的「记录」按钮——无需解锁进入 App 即可完成记录；
· 或点击通知本体，打开已预填好的记录面板确认即可。

5. 睡眠时段

在被照护者档案中设置其日常睡眠时段后，夜间主页会自动切换为静谧的夜间界面，预测与常规提醒都会主动避开休息时间——不会在深夜打扰到休息。如仍需夜间照护，可另行开启紧急提醒。

6. 读懂如厕预测

主页的预测卡片会显示下一次可能的如厕时间窗，其依据包括近期记录、餐食、饮水、用药、睡眠，以及本地天气（部分利尿或影响膀胱的药物会改变节律，一并纳入考量；天气功能需要定位权限，拒绝授权也完全不影响正常使用）。
卡片颜色代表紧迫程度：绿色从容 → 黄色临近 → 红色超时。在预期时间之前主动引导如厕，是减少意外最有效的方式。

⚠️ 预测仅为照护辅助，并非医疗建议。它能帮您安排日常照护，但不能替代医生的专业判断。

7. 桌面小组件

长按手机桌面空白处 → 点击左上角 ➕ → 搜索 EverlyCare → 添加小号或中号组件。
· 一眼掌握：今日记录次数、下一个预测时段、当前照护对象（名字显示在左上角）；
· 中号组件支持直接记录：轻点按钮即可原地记录，出现「✓ 已记录」即表示成功；
· 「坐够计时」可帮助老人在马桶上坐满建议时间：点击开始 → 倒计时 → 完成后自动记录。对控制能力减弱的老人，适当多坐一会儿有助于更彻底地排空，减少之后的意外。

8. 邀请家人共同照护

邀请家人加入后，全家可共同记录、同步查看：
① 家人先注册自己的账号 → 在「设置」中复制自己的 User ID → 发送给邀请人；
② 在「照护团队」页点击右下角 ➕ → 粘贴对方的 ID → 发出邀请；
③ 家人在「照护团队」页接受邀请。此后所有记录会汇聚在同一份档案中，成员之间实时可见。

9. 历史与报告

「历史」页提供月历视图：有记录的日期会以标记显示，点击任意一天即可回看当天记录（长按某条记录可修改）。「分析」页可查看趋势变化。需要就诊时，还可导出 PDF 报告提供给医生。

EverlyCare Quick Start Guide

EverlyCare is a rhythm-based care app made for families facing Alzheimer's, stroke, and other physical limitations. It learns your person's daily rhythms — including their likely next toileting window — so you can prevent accidents before they happen instead of reacting after. Its features are shaped by real caregiving experience, and it's now live on the App Store. EverlyCare uses technology to lift the anxiety out of everyday care — easing the burden on family while protecting a hard-won sense of dignity and calm.

Learn the essentials in 5 minutes. One thing to remember: log for three days, and the patterns show up faster than you'd think.

1. Sign up & sign in

Open the app → tap Register → enter your email, password, and display name → read and accept the privacy policy.
Forgot your password? Tap "Forgot password" on the login screen → check your email → tap the link in the newest email → set a new password right in the app.

2. Add the person you care for

On first launch, you'll be guided to create a care-recipient profile: name, birth year, and your relationship. You'll be asked to confirm that you're entitled to record care information on this family member's behalf (proxy consent).

3. Daily logging (the heart of the app)

The large button at the bottom of Home is your entry point for everything: toileting, bowel, meals, fluids, medication, mood — each takes just seconds.
· Toileting / bowel: the time alone is valuable; add the amount and Bristol type when you can;
· Fluids: use the quick water presets on Home — one tap logs it (long-press to customize your usual amount);
· Accidents: log them honestly, with no guilt — they're the single most important clue to the pattern.

💡 Consistency beats perfection. Log 4+ times a day for a week, and Insights will start revealing your person's own rhythm.

4. Reminders + logging from the notification

Set water and medication reminders in the Reminders tab. When one fires:
· tap the Log button on the notification — done, without even unlocking;
· or tap the notification itself to open a pre-filled log sheet and confirm.

5. Sleep window

Set your person's usual sleep hours in their profile. At night, Home shifts to a quiet night scene, and predictions and routine reminders respect their rest — no notifications waking anyone at 3 a.m. If you still need to provide overnight care, you can enable urgent reminders separately.

6. Reading the toileting prediction

The Home card shows the next likely toileting window, based on recent logs, meals, fluids, medication, and sleep — and local weather if you grant optional location access (diuretics and bladder-affecting medications shift the rhythm and are factored in; declining location changes nothing else).
The color signals urgency: green (relaxed) → yellow (approaching) → red (overdue). Guiding your person to the bathroom before the window is the single most effective way to reduce accidents.

⚠️ Predictions are a caregiving aid, not medical advice. They help you plan the day, but never replace a doctor's judgment.

7. Home-screen widget

Long-press an empty area of your home screen → tap ➕ → search EverlyCare → add the Small or Medium widget.
· At a glance: today's log count, the next predicted window, and who you're caring for (name in the top-left);
· The Medium widget logs directly — tap a button and watch for "✓ Logged";
· The seated timer helps your person sit for the full recommended time: tap start → live countdown → Done logs it automatically. For someone with reduced continence, a little extra time on the toilet helps empty more completely and prevents later accidents.

8. Invite family to the care team

So family members can log and view together:
① They register their own account → Settings → copy their User ID → send it to you;
② You go to the Care Team tab → tap ➕ → paste their ID → send the invitation;
③ They accept in their own Care Team tab. From then on, everyone's logs flow into one shared record.

9. History & reports

History includes a month calendar: logged days are marked, and tapping any day lets you review its records (long-press a log to edit it). Insights shows trends over time. When you need to, export a PDF report to share with your doctor.
