Activities Overview

Introduction

Activities are the behavioral building blocks of a plan. Any desired user action — checking blood pressure, completing a survey, or viewing some content — is defined as a plan activity.

In the app, these activities appear in a user-friendly format that resembles a to-do list. For more information on how activities appear in the app, please refer to the Pattern Mobile App articles.

Reviewing Activities in the App:

Activities may be scheduled, unscheduled (“ad-hoc”), or both. You may also configure activities to be optional or required. Scheduled activities appear at specified times in the user’s to-do list.
