The staff are mostly patients. Once they released the support for a polar armband tracker, i got a discount for signing up during the beta period. It is just the right amount of guidance without being annoying.
Morning check in is putting on the armband while in, answering a question about sleep quality, then lying still for a minute while it measures heat rate variability. Using your history and these measurements, it gives a 1-5 stability estimate for the day. It is remarkably accurate after using for a while.
During the day, if my heart rate is elevated too much, I get warnings to take it easy. I can also set an activity budget which tracks exertion over the day. I also record symptom severity sometimes during the day or for the evening checkin. Less than I used to.
It really helps me to know both when to slow down and went to reduce my plans for the day. The result is that I can get more done and stay closer to baseline. I rarely crash any more, and when I do it is rarely more than a day. And when I have to ignore the notifications (like digging a grave for my dog last week), I can at least be prepared for the inevitable crash and can plan for a quieter day the next day or too.
