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

The app is a nice idea, but I'm giving up on it. 1. I would not recommend this app for people with high anxiety or high resting HR. Unless overexerting myself, my HR while lying down and moving are too similar and build up pacepoints even when genuinely resting 2. In the first few weeks, I've already had multiple issues with it suddenly being unable to find the band while it's still charged. The only way to fix is a full reset. App is too expensive to use my limited energy fighting with tech.

I'm very impressed how closely my heart rate variability and morning score correlate with my energy and symptom levels for the day. It's a great tool to start the day more mindful of what is doable and what might not be. I have also found rating my symptoms at the end of each day to be much more doable than an every-occurance symptom tracker (which is still useful! I love Chronic Insights), and it's a cleaner way to see trends. Thanks for a great app!

10/10 I can't believe the free version is so good!!! It is such an amazing tool, and I can't wait until I can afford the paid version, partly so I can support the amazing work they're doing. The symptom tracker is the best one I've ever used, the only one that makes sense to my brain, I love the graphs, and absolutely in love with the stability score!

What’s new

This version fixes an issue that might have prevented some users from launching the app when updating from older version.
