TachyMon was created by the developer for his niece Alex, who was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in the fall of 2021. POTS seems to be an increasingly common diagnosis, especially for young women. People with POTS often experience fatigue, brain fog, rapid heart rate increases and other symptoms. Alex was experiencing frequent fainting (syncope) and we noticed the fainting occurred when her heart rate increased rapidly, or when her heart rate reached a certain absolute threshold (150 BPM in her case). Alex finds that the TachyMon alerts help her to sit or crouch down when her heart rate is elevated, and this helps her to avoid fainting, and to feel a bit more in control of her POTS.
It is a simple, but specialized app, and we hope it may help others with POTS, or people in other situations when it may be useful to monitor heart rate changes.

disappointed
I fully agree with another reviewer of this app, the idea is there and absolutely brilliant! But it IS slimy and skeezy to make us pay to watch our heart rate live, and to view recent alerts and heart rate summaries.
I understand money needs to come in somehow for an app to work nice and smooth, but by god get it from donations. It is so wrong on so many levels to intentionally benefit off of peoples health issues, especially if this was initially made for people like your niece. She is insanely lucky that you made this app for her, and even more lucky that she probably doesn't have to pay to see whats happening to her in real time- let alone pay to even just see summaries of her health.
Im sorry but if you “have” to make disabled people pay to keep your app running just so they can see a summary of their health overtime and possibly export the chart to use to better understand their bodies, you arent doing good for anybody but you and your family.
Disappointed - features removed
I loved this app but then all the features were removed and put behind a subscription paywall. This is what we call the disability tax.
The creators claims to have made this for a sick daughter/niece so you would think that they would understand that how slimy it is to take advantage of the chronic illness & disability community.
Great idea but won’t work
I would really like to use it and think it’s a great idea but I’ve tried everything and it just keeps saying I need to allow the health app permissions. But I have them all on and tried to delete and reinstall it to see if it would do something but it still says it cannot activate..
Doesn’t work anymore
I lost my previous Apple Watch so I had to get a new one. The app switched over to my new one it refuses to work. Would keep giving me check the health app for permissions and my permissions are on for it.
Doesn’t work
Downloaded to my watch, it gave some blurb about needing to connect to my health info on my iPhone and asked for my screen time passcode. I entered it wrong and my screen timed out and when I woke up the watch to try again the screen was gone and it said “start monitoring” with a green button. I pressed this but it says unable to start monitoring. I’ve deleted the app entirely and reinstalled it but it’s still giving the same error message. Disappointing because I’ve had POTS for 14 years now and was hoping to try out this new feature on my watch.
Brilliant
After finding out that we had a family history of POTS, I downloaded this app to see if I had some of the signs. Using using Tachymon readings I was able to figure out that what I have always thought to be low blood pressure is most likely POTS. I was able to adjust the alarm thresholds so they are triggered for more severe changes, which was really useful. I find it most helpful for alerting me to implement strategies when flare ups are confirmed, and to take ECG readings from my watch during flare ups so that I have them for my doctor to look over to rule out any other contributing factors as we go about the diagnostic process. Overall a really great app and the first of its kind, so kudos to the developer for creating it to fill the need of others with POTS.
Life changing
With in minutes of downloading it to my Apple Watch I caught my heart rate go above 150 just by standing up. I got to sit down before I collapsed or passed out. 100% got to download this app to your Apple Watch
LITERALLY LIFE CHANGING
I have looked for apps to help with my POTS, EDS, and MCAS before. Life threatening allergic reactions start with a heart rate of 90-95 bpm - not enough for the Apple Watch to “notice” (the built in tachycardia wanting is 100 and up). These low slow tachycardias used to be impossible for me to catch before I started having palpations. Now this app catches them in mere moments! It ignores the regular life of workout and walking or enjoying myself cooking or talking, but if I’m sitting and driving or something unexpected and my heart goes to that zone, ding! It knows. I’ve been “wishing for” this app for years. Now it’s here! Thank you from another “daughter with POTS” who is thankful beyond reason for this app!
