Visible: Long Covid & ME/CFS

VisibleHealth

About this app

Visible is designed to help you understand your energy-limiting illness including Long Covid, ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Unlike fitness trackers, Visible is designed for rest and pacing, not workouts and exercise. Track your activity levels, symptoms, fatigue, medication, crashes, heart rate, HRV, and more.

The free Visible health app helps you to:

- Measure your heart rate variability (HRV) with your camera in 60 seconds
- Get a stability score to understand your energy and plan your day
- Track your symptoms so you can spot patterns in your illness and see what lifestyle changes are impacting your health
- Download your monthly health report to get a view of your trends

COMING SOON - VISIBLE PLUS

Our wearable subscription, Visible Plus, includes a wearable device that helps manage and track your pacing with continuous heart rate tracking and real-time alerts to avoid over-exerting.

Ratings and reviews

The app is insightful & the pacing is helpful. It is a TASK to get this setup initially. Takes some effort to keep armband charged. Fall asleep with it on, it dies overnight; charge again before your day starts, miss some data. Armband is synced with the Polar app, phone recognizes the armband, but Visible app suddenly isn't synced w/ armband. Without asking permission, app wants to manually check my pulse w/ my phone, turns on my flashlight. This is poor UX + a risk for photosensitive users.

It is sooo nice to have an exercise and pacing app that is designed for those of us with post-exertion fatigue/crash. I rely on it, both for real-time pacing, and for tracking and understanding patterns (really brought home how important a regular bedtime is for my health (sigh.)) if you use your phone for other Bluetooth connections, it's good to have a phone that can handle multiple connections. Not all cell phones can.

Long covid aside, this is one of the best apps I've ever used. Every single edge case I've come up against is covered, the UI is so intuitive that it feels like it's almost not even there. Also, it works extremely well to help with your long COVID PEM symptom management. The true experience is definitely the pro mode using the wearable, but you get an idea of just how well things work in the free version and it is worth it. It is worth it free or paid. Just excellent.

What's new

This update contains some big improvements including an all new Profile tab, and an updated "getting to know you" experience for generating heart rate zones and setting a pacing budget.

PS. If you're enjoying Visible please leave us a nice review, as this helps others to find us and brings more visibility to these conditions. :)
