Personal health tracking

Health Tracker

A tool for recording smoking, sleep, pain, diet and medication in one place and showing patterns that otherwise slip past you in everyday life.

Health data usually lives scattered or not at all

Anyone who wants to understand connections in their own daily life asks themselves: Is the pain in my knee linked to the weather? What exactly triggered the last cigarette? How much sleep deficit has built up this week? Before long you end up with note apps that were not built for this. Health Tracker is an attempt to make recording so quick that it actually happens: a dashboard with big buttons for the things you want to log several times a day, instead of a form you give up on after the third use.

It records cigarettes and e-cigarette pods (including the trigger), sleep times with a live timer, pain via a clickable body diagram with an intensity level, meals and sweets, drinks, and morning and evening medication. Diabetes medication has its own logic, so that the evening dose can only be logged once the morning dose has been taken. Every entry is also enriched automatically with weather and location data (temperature, air pressure, humidity), so that you can look for correlations later, such as whether a drop in air pressure really coincides with more days of pain.

If you want to do similarly granular self-tracking, as a chronic pain patient, on the way to quitting smoking or as a diabetic who needs to keep to a regimen, you can see here what such recording can look like without every entry costing three clicks.
