Log a new diagnosis in Bearable

Getting a new diagnosis is a big milestone, and there are a few different ways to record it in Bearable depending on what you’d like to do with that information afterwards. Here’s a quick rundown of your options.

Option 1: Create a new Symptom Group (best for ongoing tracking)

If you’d like to actively track symptoms related to your new diagnosis going forward, creating a dedicated Symptom Group is the best option.

How to set it up:

    1. Tap the … icon on the Symptoms section.
    2. Tap Add/edit.
    3. Tap Add Symptom Group.
    4. Name it after your diagnosis, e.g. “POTS.”
    5. Choose an icon and save.
    6. Tap into the group and use the search bar to add the specific symptoms you’d like to track.

This is the right choice if your goal is to monitor how the condition affects you over time.

Option 2: Log it as a Significant Event (best for marking the date)

If you mainly want a record of when you were diagnosed — so you can look back and compare your data before and after — logging it as a Significant Event is a simple way to do this.

How to set it up:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Find and tap Significant Events.
    3. Add your diagnosis as an event with the relevant date.

This marker will then appear when you view your Trends reports, making it easy to spot before-and-after changes in your Mood, Symptoms, Energy, and more.

Option 3: Add it as an Extra Note (best for context and details)

If you’d like to record more detail — like what the doctor said, next steps, or how you felt about the diagnosis — an Extra Note is a good option.

How to set it up:

    1. Tap customise homepage at the bottom of your home screen.
    2. Toggle the Extra Notes section on (if it isn’t already).
    3. Add your note from the home screen.

You can review these later via the timeline, which you can filter to show just your Extra Notes.

Option 4: Log it as a Status (best for marking how a period felt)

Bearable also has a Statuses feature, which some people use to mark particular periods of time — for example, days affected by a new diagnosis or adjustment period.

How to turn it on:

    1. Tap customise homepage at the bottom of your home screen.
    2. Toggle the Statuses section on.
    3. Tap the + icon 
    4. Add a new status for your diagnosis e.g. POTS
    5. Save this new status and then toggle it on

Which should you use?

    • Want to actively track symptoms of the new condition? → Symptom Group
    • Want a simple marker of the date, mainly to compare before/after in your Trends? → Significant Event
    • Want to capture extra context or details? → Extra Note
    • Want to mark how a period of time felt overall? → Status

You don’t have to pick just one — many people use a combination, such as a Significant Event to mark the date, plus a new Symptom Group to track things going forward.

Track Symptom Severity, Frequency, and Duration

The default Symptoms section in Bearable uses a simple 0–4 severity scale (None, Mild, Moderate, Severe, Unbearable). But if you want more detail — like a 0–10 pain scale, how many times a symptom occurs, or how long it lasts — custom Health Measurements let you track all three. Here’s how.

Getting started

Before creating any custom Health Measurement, make sure the section is enabled:

    1. Tap customise homepage at the bottom of your home screen.
    2. Toggle Health Measurements on.

From there, the steps below all start the same way:

    1. Tap the … icon on the Health Measurements section.
    2. Tap Add/edit.
    3. Tap Create custom measurement.

Then follow the specific steps below depending on what you want to track.

Tracking Severity (e.g. a 0–10 pain scale)

If you’d like a more granular scale than Bearable’s default 0–4 Symptom severity, this is the option for you.

    1. Name your measurement, e.g. “Back Pain.”
    2. Select your scale, e.g. 0–10.
    3. Choose whether you want to see the Average, Total, or Latest score in your reports (you can change this anytime).
    4. Select decimal places — 0 for round numbers, or 2 for more precision.
    5. Choose an icon and save.

Tracking Frequency (how many times something happens)

This is ideal for symptoms that occur multiple times a day, like waking up, panic attacks, or migraines.

    1. Name your measurement, e.g. “Migraine episodes.”
    2. Select Count as the measurement type.
    3. Choose an icon and save.

You can then log an entry of 1 each time the symptom occurs and view your daily totals or averages in the Trends tab.

Tracking Duration (how long a symptom lasts)

If you want to know how long each episode of a symptom lasts, you can set up a Duration measurement.

    1. Name your measurement, e.g. “Migraine duration.”
    2. Select Duration as the measurement type.
    3. Choose an icon and save.

You’ll then be able to log the hours and minutes each time the symptom occurs.

Viewing your reports

For any custom Health Measurement:

    • Trends: Tap the … icon on the Health Measurements section, select graphs, then choose your metric.
    • Impacts: Tap the Impacts tab, tap Mood, then select your custom measurement to view correlations with your Factors.

A few tips

    • You can create separate measurements for Severity, Frequency, and Duration of the same symptom if you want the full picture — for example, “Migraine Severity,” “Migraine Count,” and “Migraine Duration.”
    • Custom Health Measurements are a premium feature, so you’ll need a Bearable Pro subscription to set these up.
    • Start with just one or two measurements for your top priority symptom rather than setting up everything at once — you can always add more later.

3 Ways to track hydration in Bearable

Hydration can affect everything from energy to headaches to sleep, so it’s a common thing people want to track in Bearable. There are actually three different ways to do this, depending on how much detail you want. Here’s a quick rundown.

Option 1: The built-in Hydration tracker (simplest)

Bearable has a built-in hydration tracker in the Nutrition section, which lets you log your intake by number of cups.

How to use it:

    1. Open the Nutrition section on your home screen and log your cups of water as you go.

To change the unit of measurement (e.g. from fluid ounces to litres):

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Scroll down to the Customise section.
    3. Tap Units.
    4. In the Water section, select your preferred unit.

This option is great if you just want a simple daily total with minimal setup.

Option 2: Variable Factors (for tracking types or amounts)

If you want more nuance than “cups of water” — like tracking specific drink types or how much you’re having of each — you can create custom variable Factors in the Nutrition section. Variable Factors let you log an amount (none, little, some, lots) rather than just yes/no.

This is useful for things like:

    • Specific types of hydration, e.g. Water, Tea, Coffee, Juice, Protein shake
    • Methods of hydration, e.g. “water before midday,” “water before bed”

How to set these up:

    1. Tap the … icon on the Nutrition section.
    2. Tap add/edit.
    3. Type the name of your custom Factor.
    4. Select Variable (none, little, some, lots).
    5. Tap the checkmark to save.

💡 Tip: If you turn on Time Periods for the Symptoms and Other Factors sections, you can also log Nutrition Factors against a specific time period (AM, MID, PM) by tapping the time period at the top of the Nutrition section, then Factors, then selecting your Factor.

Option 3: Factor Ranges (for tracking specific quantities)

If you’d rather track hydration in terms of clear quantity thresholds — for example, to see whether drinking over a certain amount correlates with better or worse symptoms — you can set up a series of binary Factors representing different quantity ranges, such as:

    • 0 – 5 cups
    • 5 – 10 cups
    • 10 – 15 cups

How to set these up:

    1. Tap the … icon on the Nutrition section.
    2. Tap add/edit.
    3. Add each quantity range as its own binary Factor (happened vs. didn’t happen).
    4. Tap the checkmark to save each one.

This approach makes it easy to spot correlations in the Impacts tab between hitting a certain hydration threshold and changes in your symptoms, mood, energy, or other health outcomes.

Which should you use?

    • Want the simplest option with minimal setup? → Built-in Hydration tracker
    • Want to track specific drink types or general amounts? → Variable Factors
    • Want to test whether hitting a specific quantity threshold makes a difference? → Factor Ranges

As always, we’d recommend starting with just one approach that matches your main goal, rather than setting up all three at once. You can always add more later if you find you need it.

Log when a Factor happened

Sometimes it’s not just about tracking whether something happened — the timing matters too. If you want to capture more detail about when a Factor took place during your day, Bearable gives you two options: Time Periods and Factor Ranges. Here’s how each one works.

Option 1: Time Periods (great for correlations)

Time Periods split your day into four chunks

    • PRE (midnight–6am)
    • AM (6am–midday)
    • MID (midday–6pm)
    • PM (6pm–midnight)

This is the best option if your main goal is to see same-day correlations in the Impacts tab — for example, whether something you do in the morning affects your symptoms later that afternoon.

How to turn it on:

    1. On your home screen, tap the … icon on the Other Factors section (you can also do this for Symptoms).
    2. Tap Time Periods to toggle it on.
    3. You’ll now be able to log Factors against PRE, AM, MID, or PM from the home screen or your daily check-in.

📝 Note: Time Periods are only available in the Symptoms and Other Factors sections.

Option 2: Factor Ranges (great for more specific timing)

If PRE/AM/MID/PM isn’t precise enough, say you want to know whether taking your meds at 7am vs. 10am makes a difference, you can create a set of separate binary Factors to represent specific times or ranges. Each one is logged as either “happened” or “didn’t happen.”

For example, if you’re testing medication timing, you could create:

    • Took meds at 7am
    • Took meds at 8am
    • Took meds at 9am
    • Took meds at 10am

How to set these up:

    1. Tap the … icon on the Other Factors section.
    2. Tap add/edit.
    3. Create a new group to keep things tidy (e.g. “Meds Timing”).
    4. Use the search bar at the top to add each time-based Factor as a binary option.

This way, you’ll be able to see in the Impacts tab exactly how the timing of something correlates with changes in your symptoms, mood, energy, or other health outcomes — something Time Periods alone can’t always capture if the differences fall within the same time period.

Which should you use?

    • Want a simple way to log Factors by general part of the day and see same-day correlations? → Time Periods
    • Want to zoom in on a specific time (like comparing 7am vs. 10am) or a distinguishing factor Time Periods can’t capture? → Factor Ranges
    • Not sure which fits your situation? You’re welcome to use both — Time Periods for the everyday stuff, and Factor Ranges when you need to test something more specific.

As always, we’d recommend keeping things simple to start — only set up as many Factors as you need to answer the question you care about most. You can always add more later.

Log when a symptom happened

If you’re trying to get a clearer picture of when your symptoms happen during the day, Bearable gives you two different tools to help: Time Periods and Custom Health Measurements. They work a little differently, so here’s a quick guide to help you pick the right one (or use both!).

Option 1: Time Periods (great for correlations)

Instead of just giving you one entry for the whole day, time Periods split your day into four chunks:

– PRE (midnight–6am)
– AM (6am–midday)
– MID (midday–6pm)
– PM (6pm–midnight) 

This is the best option if your main goal is to see same-day correlations between your symptoms and factors (like food, activities, or meds) in the Impacts tab.

How to turn it on:

    1. On your home screen, tap the … icon on the Symptoms section (you can also do this for Other Factors).
    2. Tap Time Periods to toggle it on.
    3. You’ll now be able to log a separate symptom entry for each time period, either from the home screen or your daily check-in.

📝 Note: Time Periods are only available in the Symptoms and Other Factors sections. Other sections either already use timestamps (like Health Measurements) or don’t need time-based tracking (like Sleep or Gratitude).

Option 2: Custom Health Measurements (great for exact timing)

If you want something more precise than “morning” or “evening” – like the exact time a symptom occurred – a custom Health Measurement is the way to go. This lets you log entries with a real timestamp, so you can track things like frequency or patterns down to the minute.

How to set one up:

    1. Tap customise homepage at the bottom of your home screen and make sure Health Measurements is toggled on.
    2. Tap into the Health Measurements section on your home screen.
    3. Tap Add Other, then Create custom measurement.
    4. Give it a name (e.g. “Migraine episodes”), choose a measurement type (like Count, or a 0–10 scale), pick an icon, and save.
    5. From then on, you can log an entry with a timestamp each time the symptom happens.

💡 Custom Health Measurements are a premium feature, so you’ll need a Bearable Pro subscription to set these up.

Which should you use?

    • Want to spot patterns and correlations across your whole day? → Time Periods
    • Want to know the exact time something happened, or track frequency in detail? → Custom Health Measurements
    • Want the best of both → Custom Health Measurements

As always, we’d recommend starting small, pick one or two symptoms that matter most to you right now, rather than trying to track everything at once. You can always add more later.

Switch from Fitbit to Google Health

If you track your health with a Fitbit, you may have noticed your app looks different lately. Google has renamed and redesigned the Fitbit app, and there’s one step some users still need to take to keep everything working.

We know that admin like this is the last thing you want to deal with when you’re already managing your health day to day. So we’ve kept this short. Here’s exactly what’s changed, why, and what (if anything) you need to do.

The short version

There are really two separate things happening here, and it’s easy to mix them up:

    1. The app changed automatically. The Fitbit app is now the Google Health app. It updated itself — you didn’t need to download anything, and your data came across on its own.
    2. Your account may still need to move. This is the part that needs you. If you sign in with an old Fitbit account, you’ll need to move it to a Google Account to keep using the app.

If you only remember one thing: the app updating itself does not mean your account has moved. Those are different steps.

What’s actually changed

The Fitbit app became the Google Health app on May 19, 2026, with a new name, icon, and layout. Your favorite features are still there, with a few upgrades:

    • A simpler layout with four tabs: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health
    • Dashboards you can customize so your most important numbers are front and center
    • More data in one place — activity, sleep, vitals, and (in the US) your medical records like lab results and medications
    • The ability to connect other apps and devices you already use
    • A new AI-powered Google Health Coach for personalized insights (this is part of a paid Google Health Premium subscription)

You don’t have to use the new features if you don’t want to. The core tracking you rely on works the same way.

Why Google made this change

According to Google, moving to a Google Account gives you one login across your connected apps and devices, along with Google’s privacy and security controls in a single place. Google has also stated that your Fitbit health and wellness data stays separate from Google Ads and won’t be used for advertising.

A Google Account is now also required to set up a new Fitbit or activate a newly released device.

What this means for your Bearable data

This is a change on Google’s side, not ours. Your Bearable account, your logs, and your history are not affected. You don’t need to do anything inside Bearable.

If you sync health data from your Fitbit into Bearable, completing the account move below is the best way to keep that connection running smoothly. If you ever notice your data isn’t flowing through after migrating, our support team is happy to help you reconnect.

The dates that matter

    • July 15, 2026 — This is the one to circle. After this date, Google begins deleting Fitbit accounts that haven’t been moved to a Google Account. If your account isn’t migrated by then, you risk losing access to it and your history.
    • You can download or delete your own data at any time before that date if you’d like a personal copy.

If you’re still using an old Fitbit account, it’s worth taking a few minutes to move it sooner rather than later, so it’s one less thing on your plate.

How to move your account

The steps are the same on iPhone and Android. The whole thing takes just a few minutes.

Before you start, you’ll need a personal Google Account. (A work or school Google Workspace account won’t work for this — if that’s all you have, you can create a free personal one.)

    1. Open the Google Health app (the app that used to be Fitbit)
    2. Sign in with your Fitbit account
    3. Tap Settings → Move account
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions

A few helpful things to know:

    • You can cancel any time up until the final step, so it’s safe to start and stop if you need a break.
    • Once it’s finished, the move can’t be undone, so it’s worth doing when you have a quiet few minutes.
    • Created your Fitbit account with a Gmail address? You still need to do this — having a Gmail address on its own doesn’t count as having moved.

Make sure your phone is ready

The only real difference between iPhone and Android is the software version you need and where you get app updates:

 iPhoneAndroid
Software needediOS 16.4 or newerAndroid 11 or newer
App updates come fromthe App Storethe Google Play Store

A small number of older phones may have trouble even when they meet these requirements, including the Huawei P8 Lite, P9 Lite, and P20 Lite, and the Xiaomi Mi 6.

Keeping your Fitbit data flowing into Bearable

If you use Bearable to bring in data from your Fitbit, that link runs through a “hub” app — Health Connect on Android, or Apple Health on iPhone. After moving your account, it’s worth a quick check that Bearable still has permission to read your data.

On Android (through Health Connect)

Your Fitbit data flows into Health Connect via the Google Health app, and Bearable reads it from there.

To check or grant Bearable’s permissions:

    1. Open Health Connect on your phone. (On newer Android phones it lives inside your Settings; on others it’s a separate app you open directly.)
    2. Tap App permissions.
    3. Select Bearable from the list.
    4. Turn on Allow all, or switch on just the data types you’d like Bearable to read — for example steps, sleep, or heart rate
    5. Once you have added permissions via Health Connect, Bearable should be added to the list of partner apps in the Google Health app [more info here]
      1. Open the Google Health app.
      2. At the top left, tap Connections.
      3. Tap Partner apps or Apps and services.
      4. Tap the third-party app or device you want to add and follow the instructions.

If Bearable isn’t in the list yet, open Bearable first and start the Health Connect connection from your Bearable sync settings. It will then appear in Health Connect for you to approve.

On iPhone (through Apple Health)

On iPhone, Bearable reads your data from Apple Health.

To check or grant Bearable’s permissions:

    1. Open the Apple Health app.
    2. Tap the Sharing tab, then Apps.
    3. Tap Bearable.
    4. Review the list and turn on the data types you’d like to share.

One thing to know on iPhone: right now, the Google Health app only reads data from Apple Health — it doesn’t yet write your Fitbit data back into Apple Health. That means data recorded by your Fitbit may not show up in Apple Health (and so won’t reach Bearable through this route) for the time being. Google has said two-way syncing is coming later in 2026. In the meantime, anything you log directly in Apple Health, or that comes from your other connected apps and devices, will still sync to Bearable as usual.
