Pacing warnings arrive during the day, not after the crash. ANSWERS FROM YOUR OWN DATA Tap a question, get an answer computed from your logs on your device. How was my pain this week. What sets off my bad days. Do my meds seem to help. No typing, no chatbot, and never an invented number.

One AI Visit Brief a month turns 30 days of logs into a page your clinician can read in under a minute.
