Garmin app for chronic illness.

This isn't a question, it's a statement. If Garmin doesn't create a new app that utilizes data from my watch to help me manage me/cfs or long covid, I will no longer be a customer. Garmin is dropping the ball on an untapped underserved market. The devices are on our bodies, we need software to understand the data in a way that's helpful for chronic conditions.

    There is no conflict with Garmin’s position. As a Long COVID sufferer I am not asking Garmin to “diagnose, treat, cure or prevent “ my illness. I am simply asking for tools to help me manage it. 

    I’ve only had my watch 2 weeks so I’m still very new to this. But one of the really critical things for us is to keep our heart rates about 60% BELOW what a well person of the same age would do. All day.. every day. And to rest a lot between actives. Not sleep, rest. So think about the activities, graphs and settings that would support this.
