C19 vs Pacing

Download and get started with the NHS-approved C19-YRS app, as featured on BBC News. The C19-YRS app can be configured by clinical teams as part of a clinical service, by Universities for research, or used independently through our public-facing applications. Our clinical version of the app is intended for patients registered at a clinical service which has invited them to download the app to manage their condition remotely, complete assessments, and access support resources to improve their health and wellbeing, according to the individual service’s purpose. The app may also be used for research studies who register participants onto the app to take part in projects. If you are using the app as part of a service or project, a member of staff will provide users with their login details or instructions on how to sign up for the app. Please contact a member of staff at your service or project team for support if you get stuck. We have two public facing apps as of 2025: 1 Autonom-e+ in collaboration with University of Leeds. This is free to register and comes with an optional subscription service. 2 The ME Clinical Assessment Toolkit in collaboration with ME Association. This is free to register and comes with an optional subscription service. Auto-renewable subscription options for our public apps: 1 month (£2.99) duration 1 year (£19.99) duration Your subscription will be charged to your Apple App Store account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period Current subscriptions may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your App Store Account Settings after purchase.

Pacing is an activity management strategy to help ME/CFS patients limit the number and severity of relapses while remaining as active as possible. For ME/CFS patient-pacing purposes the heart rate threshold is set at a percentage of the peak heart rate. The app uses the formula (220 - age) * 0.55. The app also considers the average resting heartbeat of the last 14 days. A heartbeat above 15 beats of the average resting heartbeat is also considered as too much. This app can give you clues, but it does not replace taking care of yourself and taking it easy if needed. The app is for the Apple Watch only and will not be displayed on the iPhone. Press the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch to go to the Home screen. There you will find the app. We use the following rules: Heart rate is greater than the average resting pulse + 15 in the last 14 days: red circle 100% filled and a soft click. Heart rate is smaller (220 - age) * 0.36: light, green circle 16% full Heart rate is smaller (220 - age) * 0.38: medium, green circle 32% full Heart rate is smaller (220 - age) * 0.40: hard, yellow circle 48% full Heart rate is smaller (220 - age) * 0.45: very hard, yellow circle filled to 64%, soft clicking Heart rate is smaller (220 - age) * 0. 55: cautious, yellow circle filled to 80%, soft clicking Heart rate is larger: red circle filled to 100% and a short warning tone Pacing integrates with the Apple Health app. Disclaimer: The app was developed in consultation with physicians who treat ME/CFS patients.
