Recovery Record and the Family App are designed for different users. Recovery Record is used by the individual receiving treatment to track their own meals, behaviors, thoughts, and recovery experiences, while the Family App is designed specifically for parents and caregivers to monitor meals, document what they are observing at home, and access caregiver-focused tools and support.
As a clinician, you continue to use the same clinician portal you are already familiar with. If both the individual and caregiver are using the apps, you can view information from each separately, giving you both the patient and caregiver perspectives. This can provide a more complete picture of what is happening between sessions and help you offer more focused, individualized guidance to the family.
