About

Lycana

Read full description

Lycana is your intelligent lupus companion — designed specifically for people living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and related autoimmune conditions. Luna, your on-device AI health analyst, learns your patterns, warns before flares, and prepares you for doctor visits. SMART MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Never miss a dose. Lycana helps organize medication timing around absorption windows, reminders, and your daily routine. Get drug-drug and drug-supplement interaction awareness. Photosensitivity alerts combine your medications with real-time UV data to keep you safe outdoors. SYMPTOM & FLARE TRACKING Log symptoms in seconds with an adaptive check-in that learns from your history. "Yesterday you had pain (7/10) — same today?" One tap. Use the interactive body map to pin symptoms across 16 zones on a clean anatomical silhouette. Attach photos to track rash progression and compare side by side for doctor visits. FLARE RISK PREDICTION A flare risk score (0–100) combines symptom logs, wearable data, lab trends, and weather patterns to spot flares before they happen. Discover personal weather-symptom correlations — see how UV, pressure, and humidity affect your symptoms over time. READ-ONLY INSIGHTS Understand symptom, medication, lab, wearable, and UV/weather patterns over time. Insights help you review what has changed without giving meal advice, nutrition recommendations, recipes, grocery lists, or nutrient targets. LAB INSIGHTS Log and visualize complement levels (C3, C4), anti-dsDNA, CBC, CRP, ESR, and more. See trends and understand what your numbers mean for lupus management. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Generate a professional visit summary your rheumatologist can scan in 30 seconds. SLEDAI-2K disease activity timeline, lab trajectory sparklines for CRP, ESR, complement, and anti-dsDNA, medication adherence, and suggested discussion topics — all in one shareable PDF. LUNA — YOUR AI HEALTH ANALYST Luna spots patterns you'd miss — "Your joint pain pattern looks like your March flare." She prepares visit briefings that summarize symptoms, labs, and flare events so your rheumatologist gets the full picture. Daily check-ins adapt to your history. All on-device, always private. WEARABLE INTEGRATION Connect Apple Health for heart rate, HRV, sleep, steps, blood oxygen, skin temperature, blood pressure, respiratory rate, blood glucose, and menstrual cycle tracking. These signals power more accurate flare predictions. CARE TEAM SHARING Invite family or caregivers to see selected health updates — medication adherence, flare risk, labs, or symptoms. You control what they see. Diary and mental health data are never shared. Generate encrypted health summaries and visit prep checklists for your doctor. SMART REMINDERS Adaptive notifications learn from your patterns — worst-day warnings, HRV drop alerts, adaptive medication timing, and sleep-adjusted quiet hours. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Flare risk score, Luna's daily observation, and quick symptom logging — right on your home screen without opening the app. SIRI & SPOTLIGHT Start check-ins, check medications, and get insights by voice. Search your medications and doctors from Spotlight. MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING Track emotional wellbeing with validated tools (PHQ-2, PHQ-9, GAD-7) alongside your physical symptoms. RESEARCH PARTICIPATION Enroll in lupus studies, complete validated surveys (FACIT-Fatigue, LupusPRO), and donate anonymized data to advance lupus research. PRIVACY FIRST Health data stays encrypted on your device using the iOS Keychain. We never sell your data or store health records on our servers. No email needed to get started.
