The Evening Check-in asks about crashes, symptoms, and exertion

The check-in asks:

  • if you were in a crash today

  • how bad each tracked symptom was at its worst today, on a scale of None (0) to Awful (3)

  • how much physical, mental, and emotional exertion you had

  • if you're menstruating

  • if you have an infection or illness

  • if you took any medications

You can also add notes about your day. Notes give extra context when you look back at your trends.

A crash is a period when your symptoms or fatigue get worse, often after physical, mental, or emotional exertion. You may know it as a "flare-up."

Your answers help set the next day's Stability Score

Logging your symptoms is optional. It does give Visible a clearer picture of your health, and we recommend completing this every day, if you can.

Visible uses your symptom severity from the Evening Check-in to work out the next day's Stability Score.

Track a new infection as soon as you feel unwell

An infection could be, for example, a cold, flu, or COVID. Track each new infection in its early stages. Start when you first feel more unwell than usual.

Symptoms can linger after an infection, so it can be hard to know when to stop tracking. Don't worry too much about this. Recording when the infection started is the most important part.

Reorder your trackers by tapping and dragging

You can reorder your trackers during the Evening Check-in. To change the order of your trackers, tap and hold the tracker you want to move, then drag it up or down the list.

You can reorder symptoms, exertion types, medications, and lifestyle factors. This only changes the order in your check-in, not in your settings.

You can also turn trackers on or off, or create your own. Learn how to manage your trackers.

You can edit or complete any day's Evening Check-in

You can change today's check-in or complete a missed one from a past day. To do this:

  1. Open the Visible app.

  2. Go to the Today page.

  3. Find the day you want to update using the calendar or arrows at the top of the page.

  4. Open the section of Evening Check-in results you'd like to edit, and tap Edit.

  5. Add or change your answer, then tap Save.

Try to keep your answers as accurate as you can. Visible uses them to show your trends over time.

If you have a different sleep schedule, do your Morning Check-in first

If you work nights or sleep at different times from most people, do your Morning Check-in first every day.

For example, if you wake up at 11pm on Thursday and go to bed at 1pm on Friday, do both check-ins on Thursday.

Days in the Visible app reset at 4am.

See your check-in data in Trends

Your Stability Score, Morning Check-in, and Evening Check-in data are all in Trends. You can compare patterns across days, weeks, or months.

The way you rate your symptoms may change over time. This can make it hard to compare symptoms from weeks or months ago. That's why Visible combines your symptom data with heart rate data and crash tracking to give you pacing guidance.

The Monthly Check-in also gives you a wider view of how your health affects your everyday life.
