Visible: Pacing for illness 25.5.2

For individuals living with energy-limiting health conditions, the Visible app emerges as a resource aimed at fostering improved pacing among users experiencing Long Covid, ME/CFS, POTS, Fibromyalgia, and similar ailments. The concept of pacing involves the strategic balancing of activities and rest to prevent exacerbations of symptoms, allowing users to optimize their limited energy reserves. Implementing effective pacing strategies can pose challenges in everyday life, an area where the Visible app seeks to provide assistance.

One notable feature of Visible is its ability to measure physical metrics through the phone’s camera. Users can obtain daily readings of their biometrics, such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Resting Heart Rate, which may enhance understanding of their daily stability and assist in activity management.

The app also enables users to meticulously track symptoms, medication intake, and daily exertion levels. This comprehensive tracking fosters the identification of patterns related to their health conditions and illuminates how lifestyle modifications may influence their well-being.

Visible includes functionality for generating health reports that can be downloaded monthly or over extended periods. These reports offer insightful trend analyses that can be shared with healthcare providers to inform treatment plans.

Furthermore, users have the option to participate in research initiatives led by prominent researchers in the field. By volunteering their data, users contribute to advancing knowledge surrounding invisible illnesses.

Integration with wearable technology is also supported, allowing users to connect devices that provide real-time pacing notifications and energy budgeting insights throughout the day.

User testimonials reflect a generally positive reception of the app's impact on managing health conditions:

• “Visible has been LIFE-CHANGING. I had fibromyalgia before COVID and thought I did well at pacing, but this has helped me on a whole new level.” – Roma
• “This is the first app in the 33 years since I have been diagnosed with this condition that shows me the data my doctor and I need. Fitness apps don’t work well because they are not geared for people with POTS and PEM. This is the very first app that warns me when I have to SLOW DOWN.” – Lesli
• “I’ve been using Visible for nearly a year now, and I’ve finally managed to pace effectively. I feel more stable and more in control of my condition. Visible has also helped me figure out I have POTS.” – Rachel

It is crucial to note that while the Visible app serves as a tool for managing health-related data, it does not offer medical services such as diagnosis or treatment for any medical condition. Users are advised to seek professional medical guidance tailored to their individual circumstances.
