claude-ally-health skill

Overview

This skill is a health assistant designed for medical information analysis, symptom tracking, and personalized wellness guidance. It helps interpret user-reported symptoms, summarize relevant medical literature, and keep longitudinal records of health metrics. The goal is to support informed decisions and better communication with healthcare providers, not to replace professional medical advice.

How this skill works

The skill ingests user inputs such as symptoms, vitals, medication lists, and lifestyle data, then analyzes patterns and generates concise summaries and care suggestions. It cross-references medical knowledge to highlight possible causes, risk flags, and recommended next steps, while formatting outputs for easy sharing with clinicians. It can also maintain symptom timelines and generate reminders for tracking and follow-up.

When to use it

• When you need a structured summary of symptoms for a telehealth visit or in-person appointment.
• When tracking daily or weekly changes in symptoms, mood, sleep, or vitals over time.
• When you want evidence-informed explanations of common conditions and differential possibilities.
• When preparing medication lists, allergy histories, or lifestyle summaries for a clinician.
• When setting up tracking and reminders for chronic condition management or recovery.

Best practices

• Collect clear, time-stamped inputs: dates, onset, severity, and context for each symptom.
• Include current medications, allergies, and medical history to improve analysis accuracy.
• Treat outputs as informational: validate recommendations with a licensed healthcare professional.
• Use consistent measurement units and scales (e.g., pain 0–10, temperature in °C/°F).
• Limit personally identifiable information when sharing summaries outside secure channels.

Example use cases

• Generate a concise symptom timeline and differential summary ahead of a primary care visit.
• Track migraine frequency, triggers, and response to medications over 3 months.
• Summarize potential causes and red flags for new chest pain and suggest urgent next steps.
• Create a shareable medication list and recent lab summary for a specialist referral.
• Set up daily reminders and log entries for blood glucose or blood pressure monitoring.
