Correlative language over causal

Certain data insights imply a direct causal link: “effect on symptom score” “effect of symptoms” “effect on mood” and “this factor makes you feel:” Since this app only links correlative data, there is nothing to say the causality isn’t opposite or separate: exercising could give me energy, I could exercise more when I have more energy, or I could do both for a separate reason. Even if one follows the other, cause is still not proven. More neutral language allows the user to draw conclusions without suggestions of causality. Suggest “you’ve been feeling ___ with this factor“ and “potential factors in your (mood, symptoms, sleep quality/quantity)”

    Yes, this is especially important when showing the data to doctors etc. so they don’t misunderstand!
