Rheumera

This app helps me keep on top of my disease and reporting for my doctor how I’m doing. However I wish that if I have to go back and report my symptoms on a previous day it would stay on that day instead of advancing back to the present day. Also something that needs to be added is urinary pain and UTI’s as part of autoimmune disease specific to Sjorgrens syndrome. Also it would be nice if all the info would translate over to the medical record the clinic has, I always have to give then data on intake about my condition which is kinda silly

I would definitely recommend this App. Yes in the sign up agreement it says you could be charged for the services just like you would an office visit kinda like a copay as it has been FDA APPROVED as a medical device. I guess the cost would depend on several factors. I researched everything before signing up. It makes keeping up with my symptoms and flares easier between visits, I no longer have to remember when I had a flare cause my Dr gets this information before my next visit. All I have to do is send a message through the App and my Dr gets it if I’m in a bad flare I can schedule an appointment as well with someone in the office. The MA who oversees it from my clinic is always available to answer questions and forward pictures and things to my Dr and always checks in, which I love.

I’ve never been charged, & find it helps me to keep my doctor informed of what’s going on with me, In between the times I KNOW I have to call. I’VE discovered some symptoms are more of an issue than I was reporting, & have gotten much better about documenting WHERE my pain is. I find the 1 question per day, which rotates through different aspects of my health problem, allows my doctor to have a full picture, without my bringing tons of paper documentation, or rambling on during the appointment. The key is, does your doctor review the snapshot of how you’ve been doing, or is it a waste? I see it as a great tool, if used properly by both patient & doctor. I wish there were something similar, for all my comorbidities; it’s difficult to know which specialists should be told about certain things. This app makes it clear what my rheumatologist should know. (If one exists for neurology, &/or gastroenterology, I hope my doctors use it to help keep track of their patients!
