Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open the patient’s record and find the Hair progress card. Press Record hair vitals, enter the readings you have, such as grade, density or pull test, and press Save hair vitals. The first reading is the baseline. From the next one, the card shows what changed.

Before you start

  • Check that the Hair progress card shows on the record. It is hidden if your clinic does not use hair vitals.
  • Have your readings ready. Every field is optional, but you need at least one.

Steps

  1. Open the patient’s record and find the Hair progress card.

    The Hair progress card with the latest grade, density, pull test, shaft diameter and hair fall, two trend charts, and the Record hair vitals button.

If something goes wrong

Which numbers does the form accept?

Density must be 0 to 400 hairs/cm² and shaft diameter 20 to 150 µm. Hairs pulled is 1 to 200, and hairs that came out cannot be more than that. Duration is whole months, 0 to 720.

Do I have to fill every field?

No. Every field is optional, but you must enter at least one reading before you can save.

Who can record hair vitals?

Roles that can record vitals or write prescriptions, such as admins, doctors, nurses and technicians, see Record hair vitals. Other roles can read the card but cannot add readings.

Can I record hair vitals from the OPD queue?

Yes. In OPD Queue, press Record hair vitals on the patient’s card. It opens the Vitals form at Hair vitals. The button gets a tick once the reading is saved, and the card’s progress shows Hair vitals as an optional step.
