NeuroDiary — A Symptom Diary Patients Actually Keep
Public app
The Challenge
Doctors often ask patients to keep a symptom diary — for headaches, seizures, chronic pain, sleep problems or mood — between appointments. In practice, paper diaries get abandoned within a week, or left at home on the one day they’d actually be useful.
What We Built
NeuroDiary is built around one-tap daily logging that patients will actually stick with.
- One-tap daily logging per condition, with optional detail like intensity, medication and triggers
- Users switch on only the modules relevant to their own condition
- A calendar heat-map showing patterns across any month at a glance
- Neutral pattern summaries only — the app deliberately never interprets or diagnoses anything
- Medication tracking alongside symptom logs
- Caregivers can log entries on a patient’s behalf
- At appointment time: a doctor-ready PDF, or a secure, expiring share link the doctor can open without needing an account
It installs like an app and is designed for one-handed daily use.
The Result
Patients get a diary simple enough to actually keep every day, instead of one abandoned after a week. When the appointment arrives, months of consistent daily data are ready as a clean PDF or a one-tap share link — no more trying to reconstruct symptoms from memory in the waiting room.
