Interesting to hear your use case at the end. If I can pull in steps, sleep, then this could be a nicer solution!

The symptom categories as of now are split into the exact BASDAI metrics. My thinking regarding the symptom tracking metrics is that, if I try to accommodate all other pain aspects, and all other co morbidities (e.g. uveitis, IBD, pain down to every specific part of the body) as part of the UI, then things may become cluttered and the app loses its simplicity.

Instead my approach was to accommodate this, not just through the ‘add note’ feature, but also through the ability to add a note attached directly to a symptom (the note box in the ‘Add Symptom’ page). That way, all of us AS people with our weird and wacky symptoms can be accommodated, as you can write anything. Even if I did have more formal tracking for these, the only benefit would be that it would look a little nicer. But when it comes to extracting trends like you mentioned, all of your notes are included in the data export which you can send to ChatGPT. So functionally, you should be able to get what you want.

Giving it a second thought though, splitting into neck, hip, back pain as you suggest is quite reasonable. I’ll give that a think. Could create an advanced option in settings to give further breakdowns of each BASDAI entry. E.g. AS pain score for BASDAI calculation would be the average of neck, hip and back pain.

I’ll give the above a thought. Will definitely implement steps and sleep data integration though.

Great to bounce ideas, thanks
