Today’s Plan is your single view of everything your discharge paperwork asks of you on the current day. It shows timed medications, as-needed medications, and any recovery timeline steps that are relevant right now. Every item on the screen comes from your document — AfterCare never adds tasks or instructions that weren’t there.

The day counter

At the top of Today’s Plan you’ll see a Day X of your recovery label, calculated from the date your document was processed. This counter acts as your anchor: timeline steps and medication schedules are tied to specific recovery days, so AfterCare can surface only what’s relevant today rather than showing your entire guide at once.

Medications due today

AfterCare groups your scheduled medications by whether they apply today, based on the frequency instructions in your document.

Morning, afternoon, and evening slots

Each scheduled medication appears under the slot it belongs to — Morning, Afternoon, or Evening — with an active chip highlighting which slot is relevant. Tap any card to mark the dose taken. The counter beneath each card (for example, 1 of 2 today) updates as you log doses throughout the day.

As-needed medications

Medications without a fixed schedule appear under Only if you need it, separate from timed doses. These won’t generate reminders and aren’t tracked the same way — they’re listed so you remember they exist and can find their instructions quickly.

Recovery timeline steps

Below the medication list, Today’s Plan surfaces any timeline steps from your document that fall near the current recovery day — for example, “Week 1: Keep the wound dry” or “Day 7: Begin light walking”. Each step shows the label from your paperwork and the instruction that goes with it.
Timeline steps are shown for a window around today, not just a single day. This accounts for steps that span several days and instructions you may have missed or not yet acted on.

Your check-in status

Today’s Plan includes a summary card showing whether you’ve already completed today’s symptom check-in. If you have, it displays your overall traffic-light level and the time you recorded it. If you haven’t, it shows a prompt to start the check-in.

Symptom check against your document’s warning signs

Below the check-in summary, Today’s Plan shows a list of warning signs extracted from your paperwork. Tick any symptoms you are currently experiencing and tap Check my symptoms — AfterCare will tell you what your own document recommends you do. See Daily Check-In for full details.
