The parts nobody else sees
Hidradenitis suppurativa is invisible work: painful lumps where skin rubs against skin, drainage you dress around, and a visit where you try to remember how many new flares there were since the last one. Healya is built by people who know what that load feels like.
A flare begins as a painful lump under your arm or in your groin and grows within days.
Heat, sweat and clothes that rub can make flares worse, so many people dress around them.
A flare that drains needs dressings changed through the day, and it often leaves a scar.
Your numbers already tell a story
Healya connects your new flares, pain score, days with drainage, treatment doses, the heat, what you wore and did and what changed that day so the story is visible, to you and to your dermatologist.
Your new flares each month over a year, with the month you started on the job site marked. They sat between 1 and 2 a month for the eight months before it, then climbed every month from there: 3, then 4, then 5, then 7 this month. The chart shows when the count moved; what is behind it is a question for Dr. Delacroix, and this is the thing to show her rather than explain from memory.
Your pain score on flare days, 0 to 10, averaged each month over the same twelve months, with the month you started on the job site marked. It sat between 2 and 3 for eight months, rose to 4 that month, held at 4, then reached 5 and 6 this month: more flares, and more painful ones.
Days with drainage you logged each month over eight months as bars and as a line, with your last visit with Dr. Delacroix marked. They sat between 2 and 3 a month through that visit, then climbed every month from the month after it to 9 now, which is the climb to put in front of her at the next visit.
A first lump under your arm, years of flares that keep coming back, or life after surgery or on a biologic: your flares are data, and Healya can track them.
How Healya helps with hidradenitis suppurativa
A record that counts the flares for you
A thirty-second check-in, flare or not, with any new lump and where it is, your pain score, whether anything drained and your medicines, taken or missed, so the month's new flares sit on one timeline you and your dermatologist can read instead of a memory of the worst one.
Flares next to what might explain them
Heat, sweat, what you wore, what you did, your period and what changed that day, logged next to each new flare, so the question of what a bad month lines up with has a record behind it that you and your dermatologist can read together. Healya shows what lines up; it does not decide what caused it.
A message drafted when you do not want to wait
When a run of new flares is worth more than the wait until the next visit, Healya drafts a message to your dermatologist's office with the months behind it, for you to send. It never sends anything on its own.
A summary your dermatologist can scan
A year of new flares, pain scores, days with drainage and your treatment doses on one page, with the questions you flagged along the way. Fifteen-minute visits go further when the story is already organized.
No wearable required. A thirty-second daily check-in is enough.
