How Can We Help?
What to track in Bearable based on your health needs.
Symptom tracking for…
- A suspected health condition, illness, or disease.
Create a custom symptom group and add the symptoms you’re experiencing using the Add/Edit button in the menu in the top right corner of the symptoms section on your home screen. You could also consider looking up the other symptoms of your suspected condition and tracking these too.
- An unidentified condition, illness, or disease.
Create a custom symptom group and add the symptoms that you’ve been experiencing using the Add/Edit button in the menu in the top right corner of the symptoms section on your home screen.
- An existing condition.
Create a symptom group for your existing health condition and decide what’s most important to track before adding these symptoms to the group. Because tracking all your symptoms can become overwhelming, it can help to just focus on the symptoms that cause you the most problems.
- A suspected health condition, illness, or disease.
Note. You can also use and edit existing symptom groups with the Add/Edit button at the bottom of the symptoms section on your home screen.
To communicate with a medical professional.
Make a point of tracking your most concerning health issues in the Symptom, Mood, Sleep, Energy Levels, or Custom Ratings sections on your home screen. Add notes to your mood and symptom entries (or using the notes section) so as to remind yourself of questions or observations that you want to share with your doctor or medical team at your next appointment.
Note. Doctors will often want to know your priorities, concerns, existing treatments, medications, medical history, and changes in your weight, appetite, energy levels or sleep.
To learn what’s negatively impacting your health.
If there’s something about your health that’s being impacted negatively and you’re not sure why (i.e. your sleep has gotten worse in the past month) you just need to track the health outcome that’s being impacted (e.g. sleep) in the relevant section and the suspected causes (e.g. caffeine, alcohol, sources of stress, etc.) in the Factors section on your homepage. If you’re not sure what the common triggers are, a quick Google search can help provided you use a credible source that has been verified by a medical professional (such as Healthline.com).
To learn how to improve your health.
If there’s something you’d like to improve about your health but you’re not sure where to begin, you just need to track the health outcome that you’d like to improve in the relevant section on your homepage as well as the new habit you’re hoping will help in the Factors section. Premium subscribers can also discover the impact of a new habit using a custom experiment in the experiments tab. If you’re not sure what might help, a quick Google search can help provided you use a credible source that has been verified by a medical professional (such as Healthline.com).
To stay accountable for your health.
Track your existing habits in the factors section (using the add/edit button in the menu in the top right corner of the factor section) and use it as a daily reminder or checklist that includes all of the things that help (and don’t help) you to manage your health. You might also benefit from setting reminders for some of these habits from your profile page.
Note. To test the impact of a new habit, you can use the experiments feature to determine if it has a significant impact on your health before adding it to your routine.
