Visible: Pacing for illness

Love this app! Helps me a lot with tracking my symptoms.

Fijne app. Maar jammer dat deze niet in Nederlands is.

Ik heb Long Covid en deze app helpt me op een hele makkelijke manier mijn symptomen in de gaten te houden. Recent heb ik bij de sportarts 5 dagen een HRV test gedaan met professionele plakkers etc. Die meting kwam goed overeen met de metingen die je ‘s morgens met de camera van je telefoon doet en de dagscore die daarop volgt.

Really great app for tracking your symptoms and meds. Also gives you a sense of community and gives you updates on research. Any feedback they respond to quickly and kindly. I’m very glad with visible. Can’t wait for the devise to also come to the Netherlands!

Easy to use, keeping track of my symptoms and pacing. Feels good to contribute to research as well!

Easy to use and data driven feedbacks help you to oversee and manage/pace your activities and recovery. The morning and evening inputs you provide are then used to determine if your recovery/ health is stable. Insights into your resting heart rate and heart rate variability every morning through sensitive photo analysis of fingertip and algorithms reflect advanced feedback loops. Have been using it since December (6 months) and recommend it to anyone who wants to keep track of symptom developments and comparison between symptoms. The app is constantly being tweaked and improvements have improved performance and use. Also, useful resources and community links available.

Goede app om je long covid klachten te tracken en je pacing erop aan te passen. Ik heb wel één vraag: kan, gezien de koppeling met gezondheid van Apple, de hartslag en -variabiliteit van de Apple watch gekoppeld worden aan Visible, zodat je niet alleen de ochtend-meetresultaten van de camera hebt?

I reviewed this App at the beginning of May when I’d been using the wearable for a couple of weeks. It’s now been six weeks and I can honestly say it is brilliant. I really am pacing effectively now and I’m feeling better than I have in years. Once I’d got my head around the HRV data and realised that Stability is paramount, as opposed to thinking the idea was to raise my HRV, it all started to make sense. If you need more information, my advice is to go to Anna Marsh’s Podcast and listen to Episodes 85 and 86 to learn more and hear her talking with Harry about Visible. Last week saw the addition of Coherent Breathing to the App and that’s proving to be an eye-opener too. I’ve been practicing yoga for over forty years and have always enjoyed Pranayama but the App is taking my breathing practice to a whole new level. Brilliant!

I’ve been using the morning and evening check in for a month now. Initially confusing getting my head around variable heart rate, and quirks in the way data is presented. Also very frustrating in having an app suggesting I pace better (& backing its stance with objective data!!!) But it’s definitely helping me: - I’ve been able to identify a few activities that were more energy draining that I thought. - I realise it’s not just that activities drain me, but its that my body reaction to an activity also exasperates that energy drain. - Better Understand my condition / limitations.

The latest app update caused it to crash. When the help team told me how to get the app working again on my phone I discovered more than 2 months of my daily health data had been erased. I now have no health records of my symptoms to show at my Long Covid Climic appointment. Do not trust this unstable & unreliable app!
