Mywell Health Inc. does not store your information or data online. We have created downloadable and fillable PDFs that you can save to your electronic device. To edit the PDFs you will need to download and save them on to your preferred electronic device (computer, tablet, smart phone).

Work in the downloaded PDF and start by inserting your name and the date so it appears on each page. Complete the activities by filling in the information suggested. Save your data to your computer after every use. We recommend that you save your folders to a cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, ect). This will ensure your files are backed up and easily accessible from any device (Computer, Table, Phone).
