So I'm the person that's disabled but spend all of my time coordinating caregivers to the point that I am basically my own caregiver. I'm in this subreddit for support with dealing with my own care. But I don't have that kind of connection to this post, so please let me know if you feel my reply is out of place. I'm happy to delete.
There's a really lovely book called The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability. It has sections where it talks about how to work around energy in terms of sex and to work with moods and different physical needs. I'm disabled with a disability that affects my energy - I'm often too tired to sit up or drink water. And for several years had no sex drive. My partner and I have managed to work around my disability and find adaptive ways to have sex. For us that often means planning out days and times that we might have sex so I can rest up, putting lots of rests into both the foreplay and the sex itself, using pillows to make things easier and finding positions that work for both of us. And if we can't have sex (sometimes I have prolonged infections that interfere), we work on lots of other ways to be sexy together.
Woah. This is the first I've heard of the "drop in" feature...super neat.
As for Google Sheets, auto-formatting is a wonderful idea. And in case you were curious, you can set a shortcut on iOS :)
For now, we've been using Apple's Notes app for sodium and fluid tracking. It's worked well in so far as he's comfortable with the app and it does collaboration relatively well. IMO, there are obvious shortcomings, but as I'm coming to learn, whatever helps keep up his habit works for me.
We did however order a wifi scale , so we'll see how that works. Thank you for your thought :)
How about using a bed pull-up strap? You'd still do the heavy lifting, but if you strap that across the bed (instead of up and down), she can pull herself "up the hill" as it were while you do the actual heavy lifting to slide up her the board. You're still doing most of the work, but it could give her a greater feeling of control.
I bought my mom shoes with extra depth in the toes and a wider toe box. I have bought her a few pairs but these are one of her favorites.

They make metal versions of those kiddie doorknob covers. Basically a metal "clamshell" design on a hinge. They usually have a lock and come with included keys. We bought a couple - they're about $25.00 on Amazon.
Edit - They're about $30-$35.00 now.

I got this and it hooks into the phone line. It's kind of more for home situations but it works - no monthly fee either.
