Track what different doctors are saying about symptoms to make relaying information between doctors easier. Useful for patients who have “medical mysteries” and are hearing conflicting information about what symptoms mean.
Natasha,
I’m interested in trying to solve my medical mysteries, whether or not a doctor is involved. I’m curious to have you expand on what kind of data would be added to Bearable and how it will be used. Perhaps it will help me better use this app.
I was wondering the same, they’re constantly contradicting each other, and it would be nice to not forget who said what, when.
It would be interesting to see what patterns occur with my specific diagnoses, but I’ll leave that to the developer’s ideas.
Adding “current” and “past” diagnoses would be awesome. Maybe even a “concerns” option so you can bring things up with your doctor.
And a “Ruling Out” section that includes sx being monitored, labs, and final determination. I’ve forgotten about so many things in my 18 month adventure!
Agree with this. I have trouble with memory recall so something like this “who said what, when” would be great. An option for adding notes under the diagnosis and a section for adding doctors names and fields of study (Dermatologist, Family Physician, Psychiatrist, Nurse Practioner, etc) in the same section.
Im going through what Natasha’s describing right now and I can’t express my frustration in a way that won’t get this comment banned. I’d say extra notes is where I’m trying to put this now, but it seems to get lost in the shuffle of extra notes, with other stuff I can’t put in the other sections. I know I can use the title, but keeping note titles consistent and searchable is a challenge for me.
I think this could be a good usage case for a note template, or a custom rating that takes text input instead of a 1-5 score. In either case, being able to enter thoughts there and find filter for them later makes more sense to my mind than relying on note titles.
