The symptom diary

Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

The symptom diary can be accessed from the SIGN Patient information long COVID toolkit in the Right Decisions mobile app to support self-management. It allows you to record information about your symptoms, wellbeing and how you feel your recovery is going. A “share” feature is available which generates a PDF report of your data to share with healthcare professionals and others. The data collected in your symptom diary can help to inform discussions between you and your healthcare professionals about your care and recovery.

The Right Decisions mobile app incorporating the symptom diary can be downloaded to both android and apple devices from the links below. Once you have installed the Right Decisions app, search for "long Covid" , click on the SIGN patient information link to open this toolkit and download it to the "My toolkits" area.
