Visible: Pacing for illness

VisibleHealth

About this app

Do you live with an energy-limiting health condition? Join over 90,000 people with Long Covid, ME/CFS, POTS, Fibro and more who are improving their pacing with Visible.

Pacing means balancing activities and rest to avoid crashes and live better with your condition. It helps you get the most from the energy you have, but it can be challenging to implement in real life. That's where Visible comes in. Unlike fitness tracking apps, Visible uses data and technology to help with rest and pacing, not workouts and exercise.

MEASURE YOUR PACE
Use your phone’s camera to measure your biometrics, including HRV and Resting Heart Rate each morning, so you can better understand your stability and pace your day.

TRACK AND SPOT PATTERNS
Keep track of your symptoms, medication, and exertion daily to spot patterns in your illness and see what lifestyle changes are impacting your health.

HEALTH REPORT AND EXPORT
Download your monthly and long-term health reports to get an overview of your trends and share them with your doctor.

TAKE PART IN RESEARCH
Opt-in to studies with world-leading researchers to volunteer your data and help advance the science of invisible illness.

GET ALL DAY DATA
If you have a wearable armband, connect it to the Visible app to get real-time pacing notifications, PacePoints, all-day energy budgeting, and more.

THOUSANDS OF 5-STAR REVIEWS
“Visible has been LIFE-CHANGING. I had fibromyalgia before COVID and thought I did well at pacing, but this has helped me on a whole new level.” – Roma

“This is the first app in the 33 years since I have been diagnosed with this condition that shows me the data my doctor and I need. Fitness apps don't work well because they are not geared for people with POTS and PEM. This is the very first app that warns me when I have to SLOW DOWN and the monthly reports help my doctors get a better picture of how I'm doing.” – Lesli

“I've been using Visible for nearly a year now, and I've finally managed to pace effectively. I used to be in a constant boom & bust cycle with an ever-deteriorating baseline. Since using the armband, I've managed to avoid major crashes. I feel more stable and more in control of my condition. Visible has also helped me to figure out I have POTS, and medication for that has also helped.” – Rachel

Ratings and reviews

This app and the accompanying armband is a huge help in pacing. It gives a visual representation of how much physical energy you're using. Mental and emotional energy use generally shows up as reduced capacity the next day. Activities take up more energy on bad days, letting you know to do less. After 48 years, I'm finally becoming more stable. I highly recommend this app and the armband for those with ME'/CFS or Long Covid.

Update: With the arm band this is amazing. I'm able to exercise in the evenings when I have points left and it doesn't throw off my next day as much. I feel like I have more control. I still wish the medication tracking was not stuck behind evening check-in, and that there was a place for morning symptoms. I can wake up with pain from my disabilities that feel better in the evening depending on my day. A meal tracker would also be nice for the days when I can't remember if I have eaten anything.

Loving it so far. Purchased the yearly and I'm waiting on the armband to get the full benefits of it. Update: Received the armband, and after the 4 day learning period, it has been amazingly accurate regarding my pacing needs and flares. If you have chronic illnesses and flares, get this app! You won't regret it!

What's new

This update contains a new Calendar view on the Today tab, which makes it easier to go back to previous days and spot patterns in your data.
