Field kit
The field kit
Four free tools that turn the SCOTT Protocol into things you can do this week. They run in your browser, and nothing you type leaves it.
Four questions worth answering before anything goes wrong.
In 1935 a brand-new Boeing bomber, the Model 299, stalled and crashed on takeoff at Wright Field because its crew had left the gust locks on the elevators and rudder. The answer wasn't better pilots. Boeing wrote a checklist, because the airplane had more steps than anyone could reliably hold in their head.
Your health has the same problem: years of numbers, clinicians who may never compare notes, and decisions that arrive when you're least able to think. These tools are the written part. Each one puts at least one step of the SCOTT Protocol on paper; the filled letters show which.
Where are my defenses thinnest? The reliability check
Builds all five steps
Could a stranger treat me safely tonight? Your one-page health brief
Builds Self-awareness, Tenacity and Taking action
Did I ask, bring and book what I should? Four checklists
Builds Oversight, Tenacity and Taking action
What am I due for at my age? Your screening timeline
Builds Consistent monitoring and Taking action
The reliability check
Twenty-five plain statements, five for each step, rated from "not yet" to "completely." You get a profile of all five defenses, the thinnest one flagged, and two or three specific things to do about it this week. It takes about five minutes. Nobody passes or fails; the only comparison is with yourself six months from now.
Builds all five steps
Your one-page health brief
Allergies, medicines with doses and reasons, conditions with the year they started, devices, usual numbers, family history, who to call and who decides for you. The page builds a printable sheet as you type, tells you whether it still fits on one page, and can save a file you keep yourself.
Hand it to a new doctor instead of the clipboard, or keep it with your ID for the day you can't answer questions yourself.
Builds Self-awareness, Tenacity and Taking action
Checklists for the moments that go wrong
Four short lists for four moments when details slip. They borrow from sources that have earned the right: the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Ask Me 3 questions, Medicare's own discharge planning checklist and the FDA's questions about drug interactions. Tick them on screen, or print one per page and take a pen.
Builds Oversight, Tenacity and Taking action
Your screening timeline
Set your age and a few facts about your body to see which screenings the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends now, which are coming, and which were left off your list and why. It also shows where the American Cancer Society differs, including prostate cancer conversations from 45 for African American men and the option of mammograms from 40.

Nothing leaves your browser. The tools have no accounts and nowhere to send your answers. Three of them can remember things on this device: the checklists keep your ticks, and the health brief and the reliability check save only when you tick a box that says so. Anything saved sits in this browser's local storage, and the button below wipes all of it.
