Feature II · Doctor-ready reports
Eleven minutes.
That is the average appointment for a chronic-illness patient with a specialist. Eleven minutes to summarize three months. Eleven minutes to bring up the new symptom, the med change, the question you wrote down at 3am and forgot to ask. Vaely's reports are designed for the eleven minutes — and the days before and after them.
The appointment, in three acts
Before, during, after.
Most chronic-illness apps treat the doctor visit as a destination — produce an export, print it, hope. Vaely treats it as a process with three distinct moments, each one served by its own feature.
Before the appointment
Pre-visit briefing.
Two days before the visit, Vaely surfaces the three patterns from your recent journal that are most worth bringing up. Not a quantified risk score. Not a prediction. A summary of what your own entries said.
During the appointment
The doctor PDF.
Structured for the eleven minutes. The executive summary lands on page two — cadence, severity, medication arcs, functional impact, in one read. The charts follow. Your own journal entries are at the back, for the doctor who wants more or the appointment after this one. Plain English alongside common medical terms, headed Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document.
Personal Wellness Journal Summary
Not a medical document — see disclaimer overleaf.
Symptoms — frequency
Medications — last 90 days
- Ibuprofen 400mg · 23 events · most days containing migraine logs
- Naratriptan 2.5mg · 11 events · since March 14 (effectiveness ↑)
- Magnesium 400mg · daily · since January 2
Pattern observations
- Your journal shows headaches more often on days following under-five-hours sleep.
- Your journal shows headache severity decreases more quickly after naratriptan than after ibuprofen, in entries since March.
- Your journal shows a new pattern of morning joint stiffness beginning mid-May, not present before.
Leading symptom trackers produce CSVs. Doctors do not open CSVs. The whole point of the PDF is that someone reads it.
After the appointment
Post-visit voice debrief.
You walk out of the office. Vaely asks: "What did your doctor say?" You speak the answer the way you would tell a friend over the phone. The AI captures the recommendations, the medication changes, the follow-up date. Before you forget, before the rest of your day buries it.
Five export types, every one user-initiated
Whatever the moment needs.
- 01
Doctor-ready PDF
The format above — executive summary, charts, and your own journal entries. For specialists, primaries, PTs — anyone with a clipboard.
- 02
Personal Health Summary PDF
A warmer, longer-form version of the journal. For caregivers, partners, or yourself across years.
- 03
Apple Health write-back
Your Vaely entries appear in Apple Health alongside your other data. If you ever delete Vaely, the record survives in the system you already trust.
- 04
Research export
Anonymized, identifier-stripped, structured for clinical-research consumption. You push the button. You decide who sees it. Vaely does not facilitate the exchange.
- 05
Encrypted local backup
A single restorable file. The encryption key is generated on your phone and intentionally not synced to iCloud Keychain — a code-level decision recorded in our source.
Unlimited Doctor Reports on Pro. Three per rolling year on Free — enough for routine appointments. Generated on your phone in seconds.
Caregiver sharing
Peer-to-peer. Always.
Share a doctor PDF, an encrypted backup, or a summary with a family member, a caregiver, a clinician — directly, by AirDrop, iMessage, or whatever channel you choose. The transfer goes from your phone to theirs. Vaely is not in the middle. We do not hold a copy. We do not record that the transfer happened.
I forgot to bring that up to my doctor. — A patient, on every appointment, on every chronic illness ever
The doctor PDF and the post-visit debrief are the two halves of a single answer to that sentence.
Questions about the report
The plain answers.
What does the doctor PDF actually look like?
Six sections, headed "Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document." Page 1 is the cover, date range, and disclaimer. Page 2 is the executive summary — entry cadence, median daily severity, medication arcs, and functional impact, in one read. Pages 3–5 are the charts: daily severity, frequency distribution, and medication trends. The remaining pages are your journal entries verbatim — your own words, alongside the structured fields. The PDF is generated on your phone, not on a server, and you decide how to share it.
How long is it, and why?
Long enough to carry the data, short enough to be read. The first two pages — cover and executive summary — fit the eleven minutes a typical specialist appointment allows; that alone is enough for most consultations. The next three pages are the charts. The remaining pages are your own words, for the doctor who has time, for the next appointment, or for the reference you will want six months from now. We designed for the clinician who skims and the one who reads everything.
Is the report a medical document?
No. The header reads "Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document." This framing is intentional and required. The report is your own journal in a format your doctor can use. It is not a diagnosis, a clinical assessment, or a prediction.
How many doctor reports can I generate?
On the free tier, three reports per year. On Pro, unlimited. The free tier is enough for routine appointments. The Pro tier is for patients who see specialists every few weeks or more.
Can I share the report with my caregiver instead of my doctor?
Yes. The same PDF works for caregivers, family members, and partners. Caregiver sharing is peer-to-peer through AirDrop, iMessage, or whatever channel you choose. The transfer goes from your phone to theirs. Vaely is not in the middle.

Three reports a year on the free tier. Unlimited on Pro. The eleven minutes will go better when you walk in prepared.
