Patient Linking
Connecting a patient to your physician profile is a two-step consent process — you initiate the invitation, the patient accepts.
How Linking Works
In the Physician Portal, click Add Patient and enter the patient's email address — the same one they used to register with PancreaTrack.
The patient is notified in the PancreaTrack app. They review your name, NPI, and specialty before deciding to accept.
Once accepted, you can access their data immediately from your Patient List.
What You Can See After Linking
Once linked, you have full read access to the patient's logged data through the 7-tab patient view. You can also:
- Write private physician notes (not visible to the patient)
- Mark abnormal lab values as reviewed
- View the AI-generated clinical brief on the Overview tab
- See a steatorrhea alert if bowel data triggers the threshold
Physicians can only read patient data. You cannot edit, delete, or add entries to a patient's log on their behalf. The physician notes field is the only physician-writable content.
Unlinking a Patient
Either party can unlink at any time:
- Physician side: Select the patient → click Remove Patient
- Patient side: Go to Profile → Connected Providers → Unlink
Unlinking immediately revokes your access to that patient's data. Historical data and physician notes are retained in PancreaTrack's system but are no longer accessible to you.
Patient Account Requirements
The patient must have an active PancreaTrack account with a verified email address before you can link them. If a patient hasn't registered yet, they can create a free account at pancreatrack.com.
