‘Visible’
The app designed to track the different symptoms of ME and the effects of Long Covid, with the Beta version now being open to the general public.
Created by Harry Lemming, the app is aimed for those with chronic illnesses as a way of keeping track of their symptoms and providing free medical advice being provided within the app. Using the app, you can track fatigue, various types of pain, and many other aspects of invisible illness, with the simple use of their smartphone camera! All you need to do is create your own account and fill out which symptoms you would like to track to get started.
There is also a monthly paid prescription within the app – it is not required to join the prescription – called ‘Visible Plus’, that gives users a wearable device to track their symptoms for them, making it easier to keep track day-to-day.
Harry Lemming saw an opportunity for more advancement into the discussion of chronic illnesses after being diagnosed with Long Covid, stating that
“Patients like myself have little option but to build the disease management tools that are badly needed – for people living with long Covid, but also those with similarly dismissed chronic conditions”.
The free app is a new development into understanding invisible illnesses but is not restricted to just ME/CFS and Long Covid, as it is accessible for people with other hidden illnesses. There is also an option to anonymously share your tracking data with different researchers in different universities, developing the medical understanding of ME/CFS and Long Covid to provide more insight into life with invisible illnesses for diagnosis.
