Chronic Insights

What is pain? It seems that there are some, actually many, who remain unable to understand pain. To understand what pain it is or how it originates. There is research and innovation hope that this will change soon. Social problems caused a new legislative approach to medicine and pain. For the legitimately ill, its effect was dramatic. The process of discussing pain changed to evidence based. That is the patient needs to approach their care giver with data that more adeptly characterized pain in all its complexity and misdirection. It might be fairly called evidence. Future health will change the role of the patient in their own care. A greater more active role in assembling, unifying and telling their health story. When done very well, as in this app, it tells that story in a manner best understood by care givers. Complete. Accurate. Contextual. These traits of the app also create new opportunity to discover unknown correlations in the condition that could lead to a new treatment approach.

Amazing app. Nothing else like it, and the developer, James, loves questions and feedback to make it even better.

I currently struggle with back pain along with joint pain in different parts of my body. This has made it a lot easier for me to show my doctors where the pain is and to track my symptoms over time

the whole advertisement is that you can track your pain on a physical dummy, but you have to pay for that aspect.

I loved what I saw, but I own a fitbit. Can link it to this?

This is a fantastic app for keeping record of pain that others can’t see. It has many options for logging pain and you can add in any or all conditions you have to track pain. It also gives you highlighted areas that show the pain visibly to those who may be in doubt. It would be a great tool to use for SSD court as it shows visibly all the pain people just do not see with many chronic conditions.

[Edit] After response from developer, I've revised from 2 stars to 4, taking one star away for minor issues. This is still an awesome app deserving of 4 stars. The lack of device sharing is a considered trade-off for privacy that I can support. Thanks! - I really wanted to like this app, it is such an awesome concept. Unfortunately after spending hours setting it up I discovered several issues. Random crashes 3d modeling not functional during 14day trial, forcing one to sign up for the subscription just to test the functionality. This is not documented. Unable to edit colors after use in the 3d modeling. Minor convenience issue. Lack of documentation... this app is not as intuitive as it could be, making it frustrating to use. Fatal issue - Installed this app on an iPad Pro (ios16.x) and signed up for the subscription to be able to test the 3d aspect; expecting it to replicate to all other devices as is now usual practice for apps. It installed on my iPad mini but not my iPhone. After several hours of setup, discovered that this app and the subscription are only functional on the first device. So now the app has to be deleted and the subscription cancelled, then re-installed on a single device. This is a fatal problem. Need this on an iPhone for the Watch functions, but use the iPad mini for data entry, which seems to be impossible. Further, the subscription cannot be edited or cancelled until after the trial period. Love the concept of the 3d modeling... and would willingly pay the subscription fee if the last issue can be resolved.

Is there a guide or user manual. All I see are things telling me what it will do. Nothing about HOW to use the features. Looks wonderful if I could use it.

This has been such a game changer for several reasons. Great for showing care team or anyone we struggle to explain the ever changing nature of AS. So easy and helpful to log symptoms. To see them over the timeline shows what I cannot communicate adequately. Thanks for creating this!

I like it so far! My only suggestion is that menstruation/ovulation isn’t included under factors, and that’s a major one for a lot of us.
