"Making invisible illness, visible. Visible is a wearable and app designed to help people live well with complex chronic conditions. It’s commonly used by people living with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, hypermobility spectrum disorders, ME/CFS, and Long Covid.

Living with an invisible illness often means navigating limited energy and cycles of good days followed by bad days. One widely used approach is pacing, which involves balancing activity and rest day to day. Visible combines biometric data with daily check-ins to show patterns in energy, activity, and symptoms. This information can be used to support informed pacing decisions day-to-day.

Unlike fitness trackers, Visible is purpose-built for illness. It’s used by over 200,000 people to support a stronger sense of control over pacing and activity choices, and greater predictability in day-to-day capacity and energy levels.

Members can also choose to contribute anonymized data to researchers at Oxford, Yale, and Imperial, helping to drive progress, improve care, and increase visibility for conditions like EDS and HSD that are often overlooked."
