The insights visualizations aggregated by month (rather than day-level seen on the other range tabs) are interesting and useful in some situations, but they may miss within-month trends or insights into mood/symptoms that straddle two months.

Use cases: — If a user experiences notable highs and lows within the same month, that month will only read as somewhere in the middle-range for mood/symptoms, whereas correlations with that one-week vacation or flu spell have a better chance of being picked up by week-level aggregation. — Folks who regularly see treatment providers like physical therapists or mental health professionals may be more accustomed to thinking about how their health changes week to week than month to month, especially if their mood or symptoms occur in “flares.” These often last longer than a single day but less than a month. Similarly, if I a user has a particularly low health week, they may want to look back to see how they felt during the corresponding week last year. — This could be particularly powerful for people with a monthly cycle who want to understand whether/how that affects their mood and symptoms. The 90-day view is somewhat helpful but isn’t a long enough period to establish a correlation.

Limitations: This method isn’t perfect for every scenario. — “Week” would have a standard definition like Sunday to Saturday, which means it would be insensitive to spikes or dips that don’t fall exactly within the standard week, similar to how a day that goes from unbearable to great results in a “daily mood” around 5. Using monthly cycles as an example again, if symptoms occur Wednesday-Tuesday, this would appear to be a much weaker effect than Sunday-Saturday, despite both being 7 days.

Alternative: Depending on the primary goals of the Bearable user base, a ‘last 6-months’ view/insights range may be an alternate route to a similar improvement. The user could manually “eyeball” trends in their charts to identify whether they occur during the same time of each month. However, this method may feel less visually organized for some users.
