Written by Jana Hindiyeh

🖥️ For clients using the Oasys portal on the web. Using the iPhone app? See Health, mood and diary cards.

This article explains the optional wellness tools in your portal: connecting wearables in Health Stats, logging your mood, filling in diary cards, and choosing what your provider can see.

In this article

1. Which tools you'll see

Each wellness tool is optional and depends on your practice's setup.

  • If a tool isn't in your menu, your practice hasn't turned it on for you, or the account you're using doesn't have access to clinical information.

  • Diary cards also need your provider to turn them on for you.

  • If you manage more than one account, use Switch account to pick the right person first.

💡 Tip: These tools support your conversations with your provider. They aren't medical advice and don't replace professional care or emergency services.

2. Health Stats

Health Stats shows data from your connected wearables and apps. The page is titled Health Dashboard: "Track your wellbeing data and trends from your connected devices."

  • On a computer, click Health Stats in the menu. On a phone, it isn't in the bottom bar: use Search... at the top and choose Health Stats.

  • Overview is always shown. Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Vitals and Menstruation appear only when you have that kind of data.

  • If nothing is connected yet, you'll see Connect your health data. Click Add Integrations to connect a source.

  • Once a source is connected, a health assistant chat panel appears beside your dashboard to help you explore your data.

The Settings menu

Once a source is connected, the Settings button on this page offers:

  • Manage data sources: connect or disconnect apps. See Connecting wearables and apps.

  • Fetch missing data: opens Fill Health Data Gaps. Pick Data Types (leave empty to check all), a Provider (or All Providers), a Start Date and End Date (past dates only), then click Fetch Data. Use this only if data seems to be missing. It can take several minutes.

  • Reset all health data: asks "Are you sure you want to reset your data?" Click Refresh Data to re-fetch all your data from your connected sources. Use it only if you're having problems with your data. It can take several minutes.

3. Connecting wearables and apps

Connect sources from Settings → Data Integration: "Connect wearables and apps to sync your health data." You'll see this when Health Stats is turned on for you.

  1. Go to Settings → Data Integration. Your health providers lists each source with its status. Use Search providers... to find one.

  2. Click Connect next to the provider.

  3. Sign in to that app and approve sharing.

If you have a care team, Sharing when connecting {device} opens first: "Connecting a device does not grant anyone access." Turn on sharing for anyone you choose (each switch saves right away), then click Continue to connect. Not now closes it without connecting.

  • The Status column shows Connected, Not connected, Reauthorization needed, Being retired or Coming Soon. Reauthorization needed means the app's permission lapsed: click Reconnect.

  • Connecting the same app again, for example from another device, doesn't cut off your existing link.

  • Apple Health can't be connected from the web. Its row says Connect via Mobile Device: install the Oasys iPhone app and connect Apple Health there.

  • Providers marked Coming Soon can't be connected yet.

⚠️ Important: To disconnect, click Disconnect next to a connected provider, then Disconnect again to confirm. Syncing stops, and the health data Oasys has already collected from that provider is removed.

Fitbit and Google Fit

  • To share Fitbit sleep and activity data, connect Google Health (Fitbit).

  • If you have an older Fitbit connection, you'll see Your Fitbit connection is being retired. Click Connect Google Health (also on the Fitbit row in Data Integration), then sign in and approve sharing again. You don't need to disconnect Fitbit first.

  • Fitbit and Google Fit can't be chosen for a new connection. An existing Fitbit or Google Fit tile shows when it stops syncing.

4. Mood Journal

Mood Journal (on a phone, Mood) helps you "Check in on how you're feeling and see your mood patterns over time."

  1. Click How are you feeling? (or Log Mood on smaller screens) to open New Mood Entry.

  2. Pick how you're feeling and at least one activity.

  3. Add notes if you like, and change the date and time if needed.

  4. Click Save How You Feel.

  • You can log a past date but not a future one.

  • Your Mood Pattern shows your typical mood, entries this week and your most common activities.

  • Your Mood Journey charts your mood month by month once you have at least 3 entries in that month.

  • Edit or delete an entry from Your Recent Check-ins. Deleting can't be undone.

  • If you haven't logged anything yet, you'll see Start your mood journal. Click Log your first entry.

  • Home shows a Daily Check-in card that reads Start today or Logged today.

5. Diary cards

Diary Cards (on a phone, Diary) are used in DBT-informed care to "Track your emotions, urges, and coping skills between sessions."

  • You'll see them only if your practice allows diary cards, your provider has turned them on for you, and your account has access to clinical information. Otherwise the page says Diary Cards aren't available for this account.

  • Your provider chooses which questions appear and can add their own.

  • How do diary cards work? explains the five steps: Emotions, Urges, Behaviors, Skills and Notes.

Filling in a diary card

  1. Pick a day in the week view. Use the arrows to move between weeks. You can fill in or edit any past day, but not future days.

  2. Click Start Diary Card.

  3. Work through the steps with Next and Back.

  4. Click Save Draft at any point to keep your progress, or Complete & Submit on the last step to finish the entry.

  • Next doesn't save. If you close the page or switch days before clicking Save Draft or Complete & Submit, your answers for that entry aren't kept.

  • A saved entry shows as Draft or Completed. Click the pencil icon to change it later.

  • If an entry you saved seems to be missing, check you're on the right day and account, then contact your practice.

⚠️ Important: If you rate any suicide urge, or a high self-harm urge, a banner shows crisis lines: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) and Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741). A diary card isn't a way to get urgent help, and your provider may not see it right away. If you're in crisis or need urgent help, call or text 988 or 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

6. Sharing data with your provider

Choose what your provider can see in Settings → Data Sharing: "Choose which health, mood, and diary data your therapist can see."

Switch

What it shares

Mood Data

Your mood entries and emotional well-being data

Diary Cards

Your diary card entries

Sleep Data

Your sleep patterns and quality metrics

Activity Data

Your exercise and movement data

Nutrition Data

Your dietary and nutrition information

Menstruation Data

Body Metrics

Daily Activities

Your daily routine and activities

  • Mood Data shows only if Mood Journal is on, Diary Cards only if diary cards are on, and the other switches only if Health Stats is on.

  • Each switch saves on its own. Changing one doesn't change the others. If a change can't be saved, you'll see Update Failed and the switch shows what's actually saved.

  • Turning a switch off hides that data from your provider, including past entries. It doesn't delete anything from your portal.

  • If you aren't connected to a provider yet, you'll see "You need to be connected with a therapist to manage data sharing settings."

  • A guardian can change a child's sharing choices while switched into the child's account, if their login has access to the child's clinical information.

If you have a care team

  • Data Sharing shows one card for each person on your care team, with your primary provider first (marked Primary). You choose separately what each person can see.

  • Each card shows a summary (Everything shared, Nothing shared or how many are shared) and a Share all switch.

  • "Turning a switch off also ends that person's access to past entries in that category."

  • If a switch shows Couldn't verify, click Retry.

  • On some minor accounts you'll see Managed by the primary guardian: "Only your primary guardian can change sharing for this account." If you see Data sharing isn't set up yet, contact your practice.

Diary card sharing

  • The diary page reminds you: "Anything you save here, including drafts, is shared with your therapist to support your treatment."

  • Diary card sharing is turned on when your provider turns on diary cards for you.

  • You can turn it off with the Diary Cards switch. Saving a new diary card entry turns sharing back on.

  • If you have a care team, the diary page says instead: "Entries and drafts are shared only with providers you grant diary access to in Data Sharing. Saving an entry does not grant access." Turn on Diary Cards for each provider you want to share with.

If your provider changes

  • Your sharing choices apply to your current provider only.

  • If your practice moves you to a new provider, your choices don't carry over. The new provider sees nothing until you turn sharing on again in Data Sharing.


Frequently asked questions

  • Why don't I have Mood Journal when a friend at another practice does?

    Practices turn these tools on independently.

  • I don't see Health Stats, Mood Journal or Diary Cards. Why?

    Each is turned on by your practice and needs access to clinical information on your account. Diary cards must also be turned on for you by your provider. On a phone, Health Stats isn't in the bottom bar: use Search....

  • Do I have to connect a wearable?

    No. Health Stats is optional even when it's in your menu.

  • Does turning off sharing delete my entries?

    No. The switches only control what your provider can see. Your entries stay in your portal.

  • Can my provider see my diary card drafts?

    Yes, while diary card sharing is on. Anything you save, including drafts, is shared. Saving a new entry turns sharing back on if you'd turned it off.

  • I use a Fitbit. What do I need to do?

    Click Connect Google Health on the notice (or on the Fitbit row in Settings → Data Integration) and approve sharing. You don't need to disconnect Fitbit first.

  • How do I connect Apple Health?

    From the Oasys iPhone app. Apple Health can't be connected from a web browser.

  • Does disconnecting a device delete my data?

    Yes. Disconnecting stops syncing and removes the health data Oasys has already collected from that provider.
