The parts nobody else sees
Vitiligo is slow, visible work: a new patch to check against last month's, a treatment measured in months rather than weeks, and questions from strangers on the days you did not want them. Healya is built by people who know what that load feels like.
New patches most often appear on the hands, the face and around the eyes and mouth.
Creams and light therapy take months to bring color back, and the color can fade again later.
A cut, a scrape or a sunburn can bring a new patch to that same spot weeks later.
Your numbers already tell a story
Healya connects your days with new patches, your itch score, the days you had light therapy or applied your cream, your mood score and what changed that day so the story is visible, to you and to your dermatologist.
Your days with new patches each month over a year, with the month you started night shifts marked. They sat between 1 and 2 a month for the nine months before it, then climbed every month from there: 3, then 5, then 6 this month, which is the thing to show your dermatologist rather than explain from memory.
Days you made it to light therapy each month over eight months as bars and as a line, with the month you started night shifts marked. They sat between 8 and 9 a month for the five months before it, then came down every month from there: 5, then 4, then 3 this month, on the same months your new patches climbed.
Your itch score, 0 to 10, averaged each month over the same twelve months, with your last visit with Dr. Achterberg marked. It sat between 1 and 2 through that visit and the month after it, then rose to 3 in August and 4 now, on the same months your new patches climbed.
A first patch, a treatment months in, or color you are trying to keep: your new patches are data, and Healya can track them.
How Healya helps with vitiligo
A record that counts the new patches for you
A thirty-second check-in, new patch or not, with your itch score, your mood, the cream applied and any light therapy that day, so the month's new patches sit on one timeline you and your dermatologist can read instead of a memory of the one you found this morning.
New patches next to what came before them
Sun and sunburn, cuts and scrapes, stress, short nights and what changed that day, logged next to each new patch, so the question of what a bad month lines up with has a record behind it that you and your dermatologist can read together.
A message drafted when you do not want to wait
When a run of new patches 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. Thyroid results and other labs arrive through your patient portal, such as MyChart, onto the same timeline.
A summary your dermatologist can scan
A year of new patches, itch scores, treatment days, whether cream or light therapy, and mood scores on one page, with the questions worth asking. Fifteen-minute visits go further when the story is already organized.
No wearable required. A thirty-second daily check-in is enough.
Reports written for vitiligo
Three kinds, each built from your own record. A summary before every dermatology visit. A report on how your months are actually going. And a plain-language digest of new vitiligo research, on a schedule you choose.
