We have a lot of health records in the family, often just for monitoring health as we grow older. Is there a good system that allow storing and organising this info. Maybe also allowing notes, reminders?

I haven’t tried it yet, but had a similar question recently and found this: https://github.com/ikarakas/HealthStash

If you try it out, please leave some comment here on how it worked out. I’m just too busy (okay, procrastinating) to set it up at the moment…

I too am interested in an automated system taking data from things like smart rings/watches, ideally with home assistant integration. Do you mean like basic note taking? something like Joplin could be used for that. I use it extensively. It has a to do checkbox function, which you could use as a reminder, though it doesn't pop up. You'd have to look at it. I think for reminders etc. you'd perhaps be looking at calendar software, perhaps next cloud, which also includes notes.

I use Track & Graph from F-Droid for a similar purpose. I noticed pretty quickly that the data I want to track just isn't generic enough to find a tailored app for it. So I setup several reminders through the app to enter the various measurements at set points in time each day and get a nice graph to dislay it.

I have no experience with it, but this promises local storage of health records: https://github.com/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem

Components of GNU Health, perhaps?

There's this, even

Paper notebook for each person, really the simplest, unless you have continuous monitoring or something uploading data automatically. Otherwise, for stuff like weight and BP, the actual measurements are the main hassle and computers won't save you any time compared to that.

Added: for pills, timercap.com bottle caps are brilliant. They have an LCD display saying how it has been since the cap was last taken off the bottle. It eliminates the problem of forgetting whether you have already taken your pill.

Otherwise, generally, as always: https://biggaybunny.tumblr.com/post/166787080920/tech-enthusiasts-everything-in-my-house-is-wired
