My Steps Walking vs BackTable

My Steps Walking supports a structured walking program for people living with peripheral artery disease (PAD), from the Global PAD Association. Walking is central to living well with PAD, and this app is built to make each session easy to record and easy to share with your care team. RECORD EVERY WALK Start a session and the app keeps time while you walk. Mark when discomfort begins, rest when you need to, then continue — the app tracks each part of the cycle so you can see the full picture of your session. SEE YOUR PROGRESS After each walk, review your steps, session time, time spent walking, time at rest, and how long you walked through discomfort. Over weeks, your history builds into a record you and your clinician can look at together. THE 6-MINUTE WALKING TEST Take the standard 6-minute walk on your own schedule, whenever you and your care team want a checkpoint. Stop any time — your walk still counts. NOTE HOW YOU FELT Tap to record symptoms after a session — calf cramping, thigh pain, foot numbness, heaviness, and more — or add a note in your own words. TRACK SMOKING Log each cigarette and, if you like, what triggered it. Set your own daily limit and see your patterns over time. Your log is shared with your care team so they can support you. THE GREAT CIRCULATION CHALLENGE Every September, walkers around the world combine their steps into a single 60,000-mile journey through the circulatory system. Between Challenges, walk toward your own milestones, from your first 5 miles to 1,000. Other walkers see you by your first name and last initial. CONNECT YOUR STEPS Link the Health app and steps you take outside a session count toward the Challenge automatically. We read step counts only — no other health data — and you can disconnect at any time. PRIVACY Your walking history and smoking log are visible to you and your own care team. We never sell your information, we show no ads, and the app does not collect your location. ABOUT My Steps Walking is provided by the Global PAD Association, a patient advocacy organization. This app records and displays your own activity. It is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a substitute for care from your clinician. Always follow the guidance of your own care team, and seek medical attention for any concerning symptoms.
