The parts nobody else sees
Osteoarthritis is steady, everyday work: joints that ache with use, stiff first steps in the morning, and a daily guess at how much walking your joints will take. Healya is built by people who know what that load feels like.
Your joints are often stiffest when you first get up, and the stiffness usually eases within half an hour.
Stairs, long walks and getting up from a low chair are often the hardest parts of the day.
Pain often builds over a busy day and eases with rest, and some weeks are much worse than others.
Your numbers already tell a story
Healya connects your joint pain score, morning stiffness, steps, weight and what changed that day so the story is visible, to you and to your orthopedist.
Your knee pain score, 0 to 10, averaged each week over fourteen weeks, with the week of the August 4 cortisone shot marked. It fell from 6 to 2 in the two weeks after the shot, held at 2 until mid-September, and has climbed since, to 7 now, higher than the 6 it started at.
Steps a day from your watch, averaged each month over six months as bars and as a line, with the month of the cortisone shot marked. They sat between 4500 and 5000 from May to July, rose to 5600 in August and 6100 in September, then fell to 4300 in October, as your knee pain score climbed back toward 7.
Your weight in pounds, averaged each month over the same six months, with the month of the cortisone shot marked. It stayed between 172 and 173 the whole time, so the knee pain climbed while your weight held at 172 lb.
A good stretch after a treatment, a slow climb back, or years of steady days: your pain score is data, and Healya can track it.
How Healya helps with osteoarthritis
The pain score you give the day, kept for you
A thirty-second daily check-in with your pain score, how stiff you were getting up, which joints hurt and any pain medicine taken, so the months sit on one timeline you and your orthopedist can read instead of a memory of the worst day.
How long a treatment held
Log the day a new medicine, exercise plan or other treatment began, and your pain scores sit on one chart with that day marked, so the weeks it helped are counted, not guessed.
Your steps next to your pain
Steps from your watch, when one is connected, next to the pain score you log, so a month where you walked less and hurt more shows up as one picture. No wearable is required.
A summary your orthopedist can scan
A year of pain scores, stiffness, steps, weight and your medicines on one page before each visit, with the questions you flagged along the way. Short visits go further when the story is already organized.
No wearable required. A thirty-second daily check-in is enough.
Reports written for osteoarthritis
Three kinds, each built from your own record. A summary before every orthopedic visit. A report on how your months are actually going. And a plain-language digest of new osteoarthritis research, on a schedule you choose.
