Founded by someone with chronic migraines, we always involve our community in deciding which features get implemented next.
Many patients struggle to know what to prioritise during a short medical appointment. Our app makes it easier for them to pinpoint their …

“I knew I was struggling with mental health issues but I was unable to keep track of how I was feeling. If I booked an appointment with a doctor, by the time the appointment came I was unable to recall the symptoms (even only hours later).
[After logging symptoms in Bearable] I had no idea my mood shifted so rapidly, and that I was experiencing so much memory loss. I was shocked. I took it to my psychiatrist and shortly after received a BPD, PTSD and surprisingly an ADHD diagnosis!
Since getting a diagnosis I’ve been able to access resources that give me real help that I didn’t have before.”
Having suffered with a chronic illness since 2018, I know all too well the frustration of coming out of an appointment with my doctor or therapist knowing that I hadn’t been able to give them a complete picture of my migraine symptoms.
Often these interactions lead to no diagnosis, a very tentative diagnosis, or at worst, a misdiagnosis. From personal experience, this sets you off a wild goose chase. You go from consultant to consultant in search of answers and spend hours on Dr. Google.
In the end, I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I started tracking my mood, symptoms and habits, in the hope that it would help me to understand, and feel more in control of, my health. This is how the idea for the Bearable app was born.
Since 2020, Bearable has helped me to better understand and manage my symptoms as well has help me to improve how I communicate with my medical team.
Today, my mission is to give all patients the power to take control of their health and feel like themselves again. That’s why we continue to work with hundreds of online communities to seek the advice and feedback of people with chronic health conditions.
When a patient walks into the room and says, “I’ve been having bad flare-ups lately,” that’s vague. But if they open an app and say, “I’ve logged 12 days of joint pain in the past three weeks, most of them during humid weather,” we’ve suddenly got something useful to work with.
Tracking helps patients remember what’s been happening. It replaces fuzzy recall with dates, trends, and context. That kind of detail can save you several minutes of back-and-forth during the history-taking portion of the visit—and it often reveals patterns that we might otherwise miss.
A tracker keeps a log for you—so instead of saying “I think it’s getting worse,” you can say “Over the past six weeks, I’ve had 18 pain flare-ups, mostly after high-stress days or poor sleep.”
That kind of data is hard to ignore.
We’ve all seen it: the patient whose symptoms are very real, but whose test results don’t give us much to work with. This is common with conditions like fibromyalgia, POTS, endometriosis, ME/CFS, autoimmune disorders, or early-stage neurological diseases.
When a patient brings in a record of their symptoms over time, we can sometimes spot clues that support a particular direction—timing, triggers, medication responses, or symptom clusters. That’s particularly helpful for complex cases where you’re trying to narrow down a wide differential or confirm what your clinical instincts are already suggesting.
When you’re recommending a new medication or a lifestyle change, it helps to have a baseline. How was the patient doing before? How have things changed?
If a patient tracks their response to a new treatment—like fewer pain days or improved sleep quality—you both have a clearer sense of what’s working and what’s not. This can make conversations more collaborative. Instead of guessing or relying on “how things felt,” you’re working together with actual data. That builds trust.
For patients seeing multiple specialists—or bouncing between primary and urgent care—a symptom tracker provides a consistent thread. It helps new providers get up to speed faster, and reduces the burden on the patient to retell their entire history at every appointment.
It also makes things easier for you if you’re inheriting a complex patient from another clinician.
You don’t need to adopt a whole new system to start benefiting from patient tracking. You might just ask your patient to email or print a weekly summary.
If you’re unsure where to start, even just asking “Have you noticed any patterns in your tracker?” can open up a richer conversation.
At the end of the day, a symptom tracker is just a tool. But for many patients—especially those with conditions that are hard to diagnose, poorly understood, or frequently dismissed—it can be a lifeline. It gives them a way to organize their experience, and it gives us a better chance to understand what they’re actually living through.
You don’t have to overhaul your workflow or analyze every data point. Just being open to what the patient brings in—and seeing it as a bridge, not a barrier—can make a real difference.
Because when patients feel heard, and we have more context, care gets better for everyone.
