Hi all,

I’m looking for a FOSS app to track some health data.

Nothing crazy, just to track some chronic back pain and see how it trends while also keeping track of when I take pain meds and when I exercise.

Thanks!

    Hi, I am a building a platform with the goal of supporting apps like this, and I would be interested to develop a plugin for your use-case as an experiment (no fee).

    I am working alone on this and this is not my first priority, so I cannot make any guarantees about the timeline, or the scope of the plugin. But, if you are interested we can have a chat on matrix.

    The project is not open source yet, but I am planning on doing so once (a) I figure out how to properly apply licensing, and (b) remove any potentially critical information (credentials) from the repository.

    So at first I thought you meant something else, but what I misunderstood is still really interesting.

    An app where you can just list your symptoms and how they change over time and then gives you a percentage chance that you may have any given condition. Kinda like… “My back hurts, it’s been hurting for a week and getting worse, my skin feels dry, had a headache three days ago…” and the app tells you you might have some this-or-that infection.

    I don’t know how doable this is at all.

    Sorry but I don’t know about your particular issue… I would recommend just using Sheets? I mean, based on what you’re saying you just want something where you can easily input a number (pain level) or symbol (took meds/didn’t take meds) over time on a few different axis and get a visual representation (graph). Why not just use Sheets?
