Pro-Act reads your Apple Watch and iPhone biometrics and surfaces migraine patterns up to 48 hours ahead. Raw health data stays on your phone. No account required. WHAT PRO-ACT DOES EARLY SIGNALS Continuous analysis of HRV, sleep quality, resting heart rate, and barometric pressure, grounded in published migraine research. When the patterns match your migraine history, you get an early heads-up -- often 24-48 hours ahead. TRACKING WHEN IT HITS Fast logging during an active attack. Record intensity, duration, symptoms, and triggers. The more you log, the sharper your pattern picture gets. PATTERN DISCOVERY After enough data, Pro-Act surfaces what's actually behind your attacks. Weather. Sleep. Specific HRV signatures. The patterns that have been hiding in your data the whole time. 5-4-3-2-1 GROUNDING ROUTINE When risk spikes, Pro-Act guides you through a five-step grounding routine. Specific, named, behavioral. Something to do, not something to feel. PRIVACY-FOCUSED BY DESIGN Raw biometric data stays on your device. On supported iPhones, risk analysis runs fully on-device with Apple Intelligence; otherwise an aggregated summary -- never raw health samples -- is sent securely for analysis. No account required. WORKS WITHOUT BIOMETRICS TOO Prefer not to share HealthKit data? Pro-Act provides insights through manual tracking alone. Log your attacks and discover patterns in your migraine history.

When you live with IBD, CFS, POTS, fibromyalgia, or endometriosis, patterns matter. This flare diary helps you catch them without wearing you out. - Log a flare in seconds: a time, a severity, and whatever details you have energy for - Note the factors that might play a role, like sleep, meds, food, and mood - See gentle pattern cards with honest sample sizes, computed right on your phone - Pull sleep and activity from Apple Health instead of typing them twice - Bring a clean, date-ranged summary to your next appointment Your entries stay on your device. Emberlog is a personal journal, not medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition; discuss patterns with your clinician.
