For ME/CFS patients
Vaely for me/cfs.
ME/CFS patients have been dismissed for decades. The science is settled — post-exertional malaise is the cardinal symptom, the energy ceiling is real, the cognitive impact is measurable. What the appointment has not caught up with is the patient walking in and being believed.
Vaely cannot guarantee belief. What it can do is hand your doctor a record that makes belief easier than disbelief — energy patterns, post-exertional crash tracking, cognitive-fog severity, weeks of timestamped entries you did not have to remember.
The appointment problem
What your doctor needs.
What you forget to bring.
What ME/CFS specialists and primary-care physicians actually need
- Post-exertional malaise (PEM) — frequency, severity, what triggered each crash, how many days to recover.
- Energy envelope across days and weeks — the activity-level ceiling before payback.
- Sleep quality (unrefreshing sleep is hallmark, even when hours are normal).
- Cognitive symptoms — brain fog severity, word-finding difficulty, processing speed shifts.
- Orthostatic / autonomic overlap (many ME/CFS patients have comorbid POTS or NMH).
- Medication and pacing-strategy trial history — what helped, what crashed you, what was neutral.
What every me/cfs patient forgets
- Whether the last crash came from the grocery run, the meeting, or the combined load of both.
- How many baseline-energy days vs crash-recovery days you have had in the last month.
- Which pacing strategy you tried and whether you actually tried it for long enough.
- The order in which symptoms returned during the recovery from the last PEM episode.
- How long ago you last had a full unrefreshing-sleep-free week.
How Vaely fits
A record that does the remembering.
Whisper the symptom as it happens.
"crashed after the doctor visit, severity eight, two days of total rest, brain fog the worst since february" On-device AI extracts the dose, the symptom, the severity, the time. You review. The journal saves. The form goes away.
Watch the timeline draw itself.
By the next appointment you have weeks of structured entries — severity arcs, medication timelines, symptom-frequency charts. On AI-capable iPhones, weekly summaries and pattern observations surface what shifted, automatically and at no additional cost.
Hand over the Doctor Report.
One tap. A polished PDF — executive summary, charts, medication arcs, your verbatim journal at the back. Headed Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document. Structured for the eleven minutes your ME/CFS specialists and primary-care physician has with you. Free tier: three reports per year. Pro: unlimited.
The privacy claim, briefly
Your me/cfs log can never be subpoenaed from our servers.
Because there are no servers.
The AI runs on your iPhone. Your ME/CFS log lives in a local database we cannot read. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" — verified by Apple. For a community that has had its data weaponized into dismissal, the architectural privacy is the point, not a feature.
The next follow-up appointment is on the calendar.
