About

Upright

Features
Read full description

Upright is a symptom and standing-test tracker built for people with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). LOG SYMPTOMS IN TWO TAPS โ€” Track dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, brain fog, and more, even on your worst days. GUIDED STANDING TESTS โ€” A step-by-step flow: lie down five minutes, stand, and record heart rate at 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes. Leave the app during timers โ€” notifications bring you back at the right moment. With an Apple Watch, heart-rate fields fill automatically during a workout. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR WILL READ โ€” Your tests, averaged, on one page. Made for the appointment desk. Upright is a documentation tool, not a diagnostic device. It never interprets your results โ€” that conversation belongs to you and your doctor. Health data stays private; heart rate is read-only from HealthKit.

About

POTS

Read full description

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is frequently missed. Not because it is rare, but because the one thing that confirms it, a heart rate that jumps when you stand, almost never shows up during a single doctor's visit. By the time you're sitting in the exam room, your heart rate has usually settled back down. This app was built by a practicing preventive cardiologist to close that gap. It walks you through the same structured stand test used in clinical guidelines: lie down, rest, stand, and track your heart rate at fixed intervals, either by tapping it in manually or continuously through Apple Watch. Every test builds a record you actually own. What you get: - The full guided stand test, on iPhone alone or paired with Apple Watch - Your complete test history, not just the last few - Your full trend over time, not a single reading - A doctor-ready PDF report you can share or print before any appointment - Plain-language guides to the diagnostic criteria, so you know what your doctor is looking for Lifetime adds: - Gentle reminders to retest every few weeks, so your trend stays current - Observational pattern insights across your tests and symptoms This app does not diagnose POTS or any other condition. It measures and organizes your heart rate response to standing so you can bring an objective, structured record to the person who can: your doctor. Nothing here replaces a medical evaluation.
