Guava: Health Tracker

I’ve recently had a big health change, requiring new medications and routines that were tricky to parse out on a daily basis. This wondered app collated all my data, care providers, Apple Watch, and medications into ONE EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE!!🤯 This app has made my life so much better in just a week. You will have to input your specifics, but that’s what makes it work so well. If you have a chronic complex health situation, do not hesitate to get this app! And no, I have not been paid for this endorsement! Go get it!

I admit I’m someone who hates paying for apps if I don’t need to, so I did the free version of this one for several months before upgrading. While the free version was great and helpful, having the auto correlations was a game changer! It gives you information about symptoms, patterns etc that is actually actionable. For example, seeing how my HRV went down when I slacked on cardio for awhile, air pressure changes really affect my fatigue, and I should plan for more/less energy on certain days of my cycle. It’s great to have so much connected as well (watch, BP cuff, 02, smart scale). A big factor for me though is the people behind the app. As I’ve used it over the past year I’ve run into questions or areas for suggestion and they’ve been fantastic. They respond quickly, kindly, and are always receptive to new ideas if you feel there’s an area for improvement. Plus they’ll give you tips for how to modify in the meantime.

I have been waiting for an app like this for years (specifically the correlation feature) and this app is so impressive and beyond anything I expected. This is one of the most comprehensive, well-thought out apps in any app category AND so reasonably priced for what it offers. Bravo!!!!

Guava has significantly helped me remember to take my meds, understand my symptoms, and improve my health! I love the AI feature that auto generates really useful questions to ask my various medical providers! Overall, it has a ton of bang for your buck, and comparable apps are several times more expensive!

Being a chronically ill person with multiple illnesses and additional diagnoses, before Guava trying to track everything was near impossible. No more missing appointments or being unprepared. No more oops did I take that med or not. The insights are amazing for correlations. I highly recommend this not just for those in the spoonie community but it’s so useful for everyone!

I am able to download my medical records, log mood, it reminds me to take my meds and I can even log my symptoms!!! It’s my favorite part it’s super easy to use and I have it linked to all my health apps (if your specific health app doesn’t connect to guava directly, you can usually just use apple health as the middle man, it’s what I do for my caloric intake app :)

Super easy and frictionless to track things, and free tier is actually very useful though I'm considering the upgrade to get the automatic insights. I love this app and it's made managing my physical and mental illnesses so much easier. Also, extremely responsive support/feedback team.

this app is amazing! for context, i am chronically ill and i have a variety of symptoms. i use data from my fitbit primarily Guava does a lot of what many other apps do, like help me track when i take my meds and remind me to take them. but it goes above and beyond with things like the insights. it’s told me correlations between things like weather changes and my heart rate, which has helped me look into a few symptoms and better manage them. i had no idea that certain things affected me so much, and Guava helped me focus on what to prioritize for better health. it shares correlations that it finds, but also lets you look at any correlation you want to investigate and change the settings of how it categorizes a significant change. also, when my doctors upload my blood work i can see it right away. it shows me my results in a way that’s really easy to understand, because they show what average good / bad results are and where my results fall on that color coded spectrum. a few times in the ER, it’s helped me process my results before the doctor even returns to tell me. a lot of the time my doctors had said “all labs look good” but with Guava, i was able to see that i was consistently low in one area which lets me follow up with the specialist for that issue. having the context right there with my labs makes them way easier to understand, before i used to have to look everything up. another thing i like is their preparation feature. it helps me prepare for an upcoming appointment and mark down what i want to discuss. sometimes it’s months between certain specialist visits, so having an ongoing log of what symptoms i want to discuss AND the data is really helpful to have in one place. they also have these tabs that make it way easy to log regular things, like my group of morning meds. you just tap your phone to the tab and it adds them in for you. i am not very good at manually logging in stuff so, the extra help is great! it means i have better data to understand my health and health changes. when i next need to start a new medicine, i would love to tab it in so i can see all the data and how it really affects my health. they also have a great team. guava is made by chronically ill women who care about their product, and have personal experience dealing with health issues. it shows in the thoughtfulness of the app, and the new features they’ve integrated since i’ve had it. Also, when i first got it i was flaring really bad and very brain foggy. i messag

I’ve been chronically ill since I was tiny, with my life turning upside down at 10. By my teen years, I had the giant three-ring binder most of us who’ve had to advocate for our health have lugged around to doctor’s appointments to carry all of our lab results, x-rays, chart notes, you name it. But we’re in the digital age now and though I’ve tried other apps and services that have kept track of a couple different things, none have covered them all— that is, until Guava came along. This app is truly all-encompassing and the seamless integration with a whole host of patient portals makes compiling all your information in one place a breeze. Within three minutes of installing Guava, I had records SINCE THE DATE OF MY BIRTH in the app, right up to my vitals at my last doctor’s appointment a couple weeks before. There are a lot of features I haven’t had a chance to try yet but I’m stoked just to see that they’re options— insights, planning for doctor’s appointments ahead of time to maximise your visit, logging your medications… this app is amazing and may just be the resource I’ve been looking for to finally retire that old binder. Thank you, Guava!

I’ve loved everything about this app, it has really eased the burden of managing illness. The only critique I have is that the body map to map where your symptoms are is WAY too imprecise. It’s extremely difficult to even get a dot on the map, let alone marking a precise area. This is the case for both the iPhone and iPad apps. The body map is extremely important data to me, but it’s virtually useless at the moment. It would be super helpful if there was a line option or color options on the map, rather than just the singular sized dot currently available.
