You have been the one keeping track. The symptoms, the appointments, what one doctor said that the next one needs to know. Forela holds it in one place. Where most health apps were built for general wellness and adapted afterward, Forela was built for endometriosis: a condition that unfolds across years and across body systems. What Forela does Log what you feel: pain, fatigue, mood, sleep, menstrual patterns, flares. Connect your wearables so sleep, cycle, and activity log themselves. See your pattern over time, measured against your own baseline rather than an average. Follow a daily plan across four main pillars: Meal, Move, Mental, and Sleep. Adjust it to what is manageable this week. Swap it, edit it, scale it back. Bring a fuller picture to whoever sees you next. What it runs on Forela reads what you log against clinical protocols built with Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch, endometriosis specialist and excision surgeon, and Forela co-founder. The protocols draw on a team of clinical advisors who treat this condition for a living. Forela learns your baseline and stays with you as things change. More about how Forela works, and who built it at forela.health Forela supports you alongside your care. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
