Arthritis Tracker

Arthritis UK

About this app

Keep track of your symptoms, so you can understand your arthritis more and feel prepared for your next health appointment. (Get access to free information and support from Arthritis UK too)

⭐Track your symptoms and wellbeing
Arthritis tracker lets you quickly and easily rate your how you're feeling and use a body map to pinpoint where your pain is and how bad it has been.

It gives you a simple summary of your recent pain, sore joints, medication side effects, energy levels, activity, sleep and emotions, which you can use to talk through your symptoms with healthcare professionals at medical appointments or simply to see how you’ve been doing recently.

⭐ Get tips and advice
Browse the info and tips section to get answers to questions you might have about living with arthritis:

● find out more about Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
● learn how to handle your symptoms and flare-ups, manage your stress and reduce the impact that arthritis has on your daily life
● get tips on talking to other people about your arthritis
● Access information on how you can manage your condition

⭐Find events and get support
You can use Arthritis Tracker to find out about Arthritis UK events and connect online with others who understand what it’s like to live with arthritis.

⭐Designed for young people, but adults welcome!
This app has been designed for teens and young adults age 13-25 with arthritis or a similar condition (e.g. lupus or other inflammatory conditions).

Thank you to all the adults who have got in touch to tell us that this app has been useful for you, we're delighted it's helped you! If you are over age 25 and you are looking for information, remember to also check out www.versusarthritis.org for information that is most relevant to your age group.

⭐ Help us by sharing your feedback and telling others
Thank you to all the young people who have helped us design the app. We are always working to incorporate your ideas to make the app better. Keep your ideas coming! Email us at [e-mail] with your thoughts.

⭐ Information for health professionals
Whether you are a rheumatologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, GP, or another type of health professional, Arthritis Tracker can help you make the most of the time you have with a patient. It can help you quickly get an understanding of some the key issues that a young person is facing, leaving more time to discuss treatment options.

“The app is great – I am actively encouraging young people in my clinic to use it. It has huge potential to enhance communication between young people and health professionals, allowing us to better understand the impact arthritis is having on the young person's life and then to treat them more effectively.” (Dr Janet McDonagh, Paediatric and Adolescent Rheumatologist, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital)

Ratings and reviews

Must have been a great app, but I was discouraged to use the app and uninstalled immediately, when it says it is made for 13 to 25 years old, I think older people get to experience arthritis more than young people who are aged 13 to 25. So I think it's a bad introduction.

Got no further than reading the data agreement. Any programme that requires that much of a data agreement is not an application I want to use. Also as soon as it said my data would be stored somewhere other than my phone I knew I could live quite happily without this programme installed.

The inclusion of adding a note is a good feature to have. The app is easy to use and even though the target group is the younger folks, I find it very helpful to help me keep track of my condition.
