FatigueSense: Free Visible Alternative / Companion App!
If you’ve been wishing that Visible gave more guidance and helped you identify your own triggers and recovery signs, today is your lucky day!
FatigueSense
- Cost: Free
- Platform: iOS & Android
- Created by: Newcastle University and NIHR Newcastle Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
PROS
- It automatically sets your daily points based on your personal metrics
- Works with most wearables & apps you already use
- Shows you your unique biometrics and how they positively and negatively affect your fatigue
- Has a simple mode for if you don’t want to see as much detail
- Shows your PEM risk for each day (this is what Visible calls stability score - this makes so much more sense)
- There’s a day planner where you can estimate how much time and effort it took, and it learns how much energy it takes to do them based on your data
- Uses steps as an added pacing - which accurately flagged me as being at high risk for PEM, even though I only had a low pace points total
- Free!
Bonus: They are actively developing a features that are more accurate to users who are bed bound
CONS
- It’s a lot of information, but the simple mode helps a lot
- I haven’t found that its heart rate alerts are as prominent as I need them to be, so I sometimes mis them and realize that I’ve used up all my points - but this may be a user issue
Has anyone else tried it? Right now it’s working great for me alongside Visible, but I could definitely see myself switching over to it full time.
