the free symptom tracker does the same thing in your browser and works out the patterns for you. rox is the free ios app behind it: it remembers every entry, reads your apple watch, oura, garmin or amazfit, and builds a summary a doctor can read in a minute.
how to use it
Paper works. The reason to track at all is that memory is unreliable about symptoms, and a two week record beats trying to summarise months in a ten minute appointment.
Track two or three things you genuinely care about rather than everything. A short log you keep is worth far more than a detailed one you abandon after four days.
01
how do i use a symptom tracker template?
fill one row per symptom per day, rate it from 0 to 10 and note anything that helped. do it at a similar time daily so entries stay comparable, and give it two weeks before reading anything into it.
02
is paper or an app better for tracking symptoms?
whichever you will actually keep doing. paper is frictionless and private; an app works out the patterns for you and cannot be lost. rox is free on iphone and puts your symptoms next to your wearable data.
03
what should i track?
start with your two or three most limiting symptoms plus sleep. adding everything at once is the most common reason people stop within a week.
free to use and share. rox is a tracking tool, not medical advice, and it cannot diagnose or treat anything.
