Managing long covid / cfs. Energy diary

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to track everyday activities (walking, taking a shower, having a phone call, meeting etc) and their impact on energy levels. This is key for patients suffering from CFS, chronic fatigue symptom, or long covid with similar symptoms. Activities could be bundled (or customized by person) e.g. i select „1“ for baseline activities that do not cost energy, „2“ for reading etc. The idea is to get a picture of the full day, using the watch as the entry tool only.

Of course, ability to analyze in connect or export to other tools would be great. Many patients suffer from post exertional malaise, ie symptoms occurring 12-36 hours after the activity.

so far, i have only found apps that are either a pain to customize or a pain to insert data. Both is not ideal for patients that tire out easily cognitively. Unfortunately i speak from own experience and today is the first day in a week that i can handle emails.

MVP would be to just have a data field where users could select numbers from 1 to 8 or so to help track the day. The energy cost by activity might differ by user anyhow, so it could be kept open.
But i am not sure it is possible to select the data field somewhere while tracking heart rate, breath rate etc also. In combination, probably the data for heart rate, breathing frequncy, oxygen, body battery, stress would be interesting for most fatigue patients to look at.

i would be so happy for any developers to pick that up…and probably fatigue related patients are an interesting user group right now and going forward. Wish it were not so.
