Facial Dynamics encourages you to comply with your existing facial movement routines set to you by your specialists. You can use augmented reality to change your facial appearance if this is something that you find upsetting. While you are performing your routines, you will see clear instructions on screen to ensure you are performing them correctly. Your specialists will be able to see your compliance with your facial routines, and videos (without sound) and objective data of your facial movements. Never forget another routine again with clear instructions of when the next routine is due, an overview of when all routines are due, and notifications to remind you. You can send messages directly to your specialists, and they can reply to you to clear up any concerns.

Track Bell's palsy and facial palsy recovery with real numbers — not guesswork. Record standard facial movements on your front camera and see a symmetry score for each side of your face. A gentle daily exercise plan for smile coordination, blink and eye-care habits, synkinesis control, and relaxation — with voice guidance so you can practise without staring at a mirror. See trends over time, compare any two check-ins, and (Pro) share a PDF report with your neurologist, ENT, or physiotherapist. Photos and videos stay on your iPhone — no account, no upload. Face Recovery Journal is a self-tracking and home-exercise companion. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and the symmetry score is not a clinical grading. New facial weakness can be a sign of stroke — seek medical help immediately. Always follow your clinician's advice.
