Questions
The short ones are here. For anything else, ask underneath, or read the full FAQ.
Can I keep records for someone who doesn't use the app?
Yes — a parent, a child, someone you care for. You manage a profile for them from your own account, and in doing so you confirm you are legally authorised to hold and make decisions about that person’s health information. That representation matters: if you do not have that authority, you should not be filing their records. The rules, and the channel for someone to have a profile about them removed, are in the Family Sharing Terms.
What can my family actually see?
Only what you have chosen to share with them. When you join a family, the app asks you to choose — per category — what your family can see:
- Daily signals: sleep, activity, heart
- Health records and documents
- Medications, conditions, symptoms and appointments
- Journal entries and notes
Nothing of yours is visible to anyone until you have made that choice and confirmed it. We recommend sharing everything, because a family that can see the whole picture is the point of the product — but it is a recommendation, not a default that happens to you. You can narrow, widen or revoke at any time, per category and per person, and revocation takes effect immediately.
Does whoever created the family get to see everything?
No. The family owner can manage the family’s name and settings, invite and remove members, and end the family. The owner cannot see another member’s health information unless that member has shared it with them. Owning the family is an administrative role, not a privileged view. The same is true of whoever is paying, and of whoever uploaded a document: the person the data is about controls it.
Do I need permission to record my appointment?
Usually, yes — and getting it is your responsibility, not ours. In many places the law requires the permission of everyone being recorded. So ask first: “Do you mind if I record this so I can remember it properly?” Most clinicians say yes. If anyone says no, don’t record. Before your first recording the app shows you the Recording Consent Notice and asks you to acknowledge it.
Is Lifelong medical care?
No. Lifelong is a health information tool, not a medical device and not a substitute for a clinician. It does not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and nothing in it is a medical opinion.
It is also not a monitoring service. Nobody at Lifelong is watching your family’s data, and the app will not summon help. An alert is a prompt to look at something — it is not a clinical finding and its absence is not reassurance. In an emergency, call emergency services. The full detail is in the Medical Disclaimer.
