It’s certainly helped me find specific triggers. Usually if I’m not getting enough sleep or have high periods of stress. That’s when I know it’s time to slow down and rest for a day or two.
Also work in the FX space and could never find a good FIX specification resource. Always had to rely on whatever the broker shared with us, but it always felt incomplete. This is a super useful resource. Thanks for sharing!
Having migraines on and off the past few months, I wanted a way to try and narrow down triggers. All the existing apps out there were overly complicated. So I built something simpler.
It’s an iOS app to help tracking events and stats about my day as simple dots. How many cups of coffee? Did I take my supplements? How did I sleep? Did I have a migraine? Think of it like a digital bullet journal.
Then visualizing all those dots together helps me see patterns and correlations. It’s helped me cut down my occurrence of migraines significantly. I’m still just in the public beta phase but looking forward to a full release fairly soon.
Would love to hear more feedback on how to improve the app!
This is great! I can see this useful across a variety of self-assessment things:
- I’m tired often, are there certain patterns that align with that?
- I’m feeling anxious, what events in a day (or other inputs) align with that?
I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past year and the health system hasn’t been too helpful in diagnosing why. I’ve got some meds, but they’re expensive and not without side effects. So I’m building an app to try and figure out how to avoid the triggers in the first place.
Sort of like a digital bullet journal. You setup some rows of events you want to track, then just tap for when/if that events happens. It’s already helped me spot certain triggers for my migraines, which I can now minimize. My wife has been finding it helpful to diagnose sleep problems. I think it might be super helpful to others with trying to understand lifestyle choices and how it impacts their wellbeing.
About to roll out the beta. Hoping to have a full release by the end of the year.
It’s my first iOS app in 8 years! Learning SwiftUI after UIKit has been quite the shift.
I also created a grid for habit tracking (for chronic pain mgmt). Day of month across the top, all the things I'm supposed to do along the side. Something to share and discuss with my care providers.
Mine's just a spreadsheet that I tweak and print every month. (Then added to my discbound clipboard organizer, that I bring everywhere.)
I haven't had the gumption to digitize my effort. I really like the physical check lists. Though I've wondered how a hybrid solution might work. eg vital signs added automatically to digital version via Health.app. eg scan printed copy and magically fill in the digital version.
That’s precisely how I started too! But opening the spreadsheet on my phone to try and log something got to be tedious. Especially while actively having a migraine. I figured an app could ease the difficulty a lot.
Oof, 4 years living with that, I’m so sorry! It’s been so frustrating not knowing when/if I’ll have one, regaining some amount of control eases the pain a bit.
I’d be interested to try it but it seems you have to sign up to a paid plan just to see how well it works. Some sample videos associated with each voice might be a good idea.
Interesting results, and I’m glad these folks were able to find relief. I just feel there’s also something deeply important about the emotional and non-verbal connection you have between patient and clinician that I just can’t see AI being able to replicate.
There’s something about another human being caring about my problems, even if it is just because that’s their job, that makes more difference to me than saying the right sequence of words to help me feel better.
Impressive demonstration, that’s clearly a huge help to sales folks. But I’ve already been ignoring a lot of the automated CRM emails that get sent out because they lack any sort of personal touch or interest, and I recognize it’s just an automated email to get me through their pipeline. Is this going to help with that sentiment?
I agree, they certainly are artists. Perhaps artists that are good at making content for that particular platform, though. A painter who is dedicated to her craft wouldn’t be able to dedicate as much time getting good at YouTube’s algorithm. How can we support those people?
I don't have any firsthand experience in this subject, so I could be wrong.
However, from my limited understanding of the YT algorithm, it rewards consistency.
If you make at least one new video every week, and each video is "well recieved", i.e. most of the people who click on it finish it, and ideally like it/subscribe to your channel as well, the algorithm will start pushing your stuff on the "recommended" list.
I see what you are saying and agree to a point, but you don't have to become excellent at 10 minute long form youtube videos to sustain yourself, for example you can create 2 minute behind the scenes videos on tiktok instead or simply share images of your paintings on instagram. artists can be creative about building audiences.
Here are some local NYC artists/groups i follow in order of followers:
Working on it! Though the concept is new and fledgling. Free non-profit arts publications aimed at giving exposure to featured emerging artists like your example. Donor funded and aimed at not extracting money from the artist themselves.
