Who Health Flare is for

Health Flare does one job: it keeps a private record of a long-term condition so the next appointment goes better than the last one. How you use it depends on whose record you're keeping. Pick the one closest to you.

• Tracking your own chronic illness

  You're the patient and the record keeper. Log in a few words on bad days, fill in the detail on better ones, and walk into appointments with more than "it's been rough".

• Tracking for your child

  You're not the patient. You're the one who notices, remembers, and explains it to the specialist. Set up a profile in your child's name and log what you see, when you see it.

• Caring for others while managing your own

  Your own condition, plus a child and a parent who depend on you. One profile each, clear signals about whose record you're in, and a way to fix it when you get it wrong.
