Patterns, behavior, and trajectory

The analytics cards that read a patient's data for you: Logging patterns on the Food Log, and Behavior signals plus Trajectory on the Overview. Descriptive signals to scan, never diagnoses.

The dashboard does some of the reading for you. Three cards turn the raw logs, check-ins, weigh-ins, and measures into a handful of "does this look right?" signals so a pattern worth your attention jumps out without scrolling every meal. They are clinician-only and hide in patient view.

Signals, not diagnoses

Everything here is descriptive: it summarizes what the patient logged. It never scores or judges the patient, and it is not a clinical assessment. Use it to decide where to look, then open the meals, measures, or conversation for the detail.

Logging patterns (Food Log tab)

At the top of the Food Log tab, the Logging patterns card summarizes how the patient logs over the recent window. Its header shows how many things are worth noting from collapsed.

  • Days logged / span and average logs per logged day — overall consistency.
  • Most / least active day and weekday vs weekend — structure often breaks down on weekends.
  • Typical eating window and longest gap between meals — a long intra-day gap can flag a restriction stretch.
  • Time of day — how logs spread across morning, midday, evening, and late night. Little morning logging can point at morning restriction; heavy late-evening logging is its own signal.
  • Logged in real time vs backfilled — whether meals are logged as they happen or filled in after the fact. A shift toward backfilling can mean disengagement or retrospective logging.
  • Food variety and most-repeated foods — low variety can reflect rigidity or safety foods.
  • Skipped meals and the most-skipped slot.

The card also raises short flags (e.g. "often logged after the fact", "rarely logs before midday", "low food variety") when a signal crosses a threshold.

Behavior signals (Overview)

On the Overview tab, the Behavior signals card pulls from the post-meal check-ins the patient filled in. It renders nothing when there is no such data, so it never adds noise.

  • Meals with urges and a 7-day-vs-prior trend arrow.
  • Top urge types logged (restrict, purge, binge, body-check, and so on).
  • Purge follow-up — how often the patient answered "yes" (only when you have enabled that question).
  • Coping-skill use, including the key ratio: of the meals with urges, how many the patient also logged a coping skill for. That tells you whether skills are being reached for in the moment.

Trajectory (Overview)

The Trajectory card gives direction of travel at a glance, with small inline sparklines:

  • Weight — the latest weight and the rate of change in lb/week (it turns red on rapid loss).
  • Each standardized measure — the latest score, its severity band, the change since baseline, and a sparkline. Every instrument here is higher = worse, so a downward line is improvement.
Where to go next

If a card surfaces something, jump to the source: open the meals in the Food Log, the scores in Measures, or the chat in Conversations. The cards point; the tabs explain.
