Getting started

Pre-consultation

Sign up to Healthy Habits

Create a Healthy Habits account to access a practice dashboard. If you are signing up your practice, follow the additional step to create a practice.

Before adding patients to a practice dashboard, you will need to verify the practice. This ensures all patient information is only being accessed by verified health professionals.
