Capture close to the moment
Use the person’s own language first. Preserve chronology, context, function, interventions, and uncertainty before memory compresses them.
The method
Preserve meaning from capture through decision.
Patient-Side is an accountable longitudinal loop: capture experience, preserve context, interpret cautiously, measure change, hand off for human judgment, and return that judgment to the record.
- 01
Capture
Record close to the moment.
- 02
Structure
Organize without rewriting.
- 03
Longitudinalize
Place events across time.
- 04
Interpret
Develop bounded candidates.
- 05
Measure
Test recurrence and change.
- 06
Hand off
Present purpose-specific context.
- 07
Human decision
Keep judgment accountable.
- 08
Update
Return interpretation to the record.
Add structure without rewriting experience
Organize observations into consistent fields while keeping the source record available and distinguishable from later interpretation.
Longitudinalize before interpreting
Place events across time, preserve baselines and deltas, and distinguish recurrence from a vivid isolated event.
Interpret and measure cautiously
Develop bounded candidates, then look for contradictions, negative evidence, competing explanations, measurement problems, and confidence limits.
Hand off, decide, and update
Present purpose-specific questions traceable to the record. Human judgment remains authoritative and returns to update the longitudinal context.
