Routine support
How to see what is due today in Helen
One of Helen's most practical jobs is answering a simple question: what needs attention today? Helen uses the regimen rules you entered, your local time zone, and what has already been logged to show whether a hormone is due, already logged, scheduled later, or coming next.
Key takeaways: How Helen shows what HRT is due today in app
- Helen calculates due-today status from your regimen rules and local calendar day.
- A dose can move from due today to logged today after you record it.
- Reminders use the same schedule logic so alerts line up with the routine Helen shows in the app.
Helen starts with your active regimen
The due-today view comes from your active HRT regimens. Helen checks the schedule pattern for each routine, including daily, selected-day, interval, fixed-cycle, and period-anchored schedules.
That keeps the daily view connected to your actual setup instead of making you manage a separate reminder list.
Your time zone matters
Helen evaluates schedule status by your profile time zone. That helps today mean your today, not a server clock or a fixed number of elapsed hours.
This is especially important for interval schedules and reminder windows, where a calendar-day shift can otherwise make a routine feel off.
Logged today changes the picture
When you log a dose for today, Helen can show that it has been logged instead of continuing to treat it as due. The goal is to reduce the mental loop of wondering whether you already handled it.
Future days remain preview-only. Past days can be logged as past entries, but Helen treats them carefully so they do not accidentally rewrite your current regimen defaults.
Reminders follow the same logic
Helen's HRT reminders use the same due-today engine. The reminder dispatcher checks active regimens, recent logs, period anchors, preferred timing, and whether notifications are paused before sending.
That means reminders are meant to reinforce the routine shown in Helen, not create a separate source of truth.
