An early-warning platform for chronic illness

Know what's coming
before your body does.

Your wearable is already collecting the data that precedes a flare: heart rate shifts, sleep disruption, HRV drops. For people living with IBD, MS, lupus, fibromyalgia, and dozens of other chronic conditions, FlareWatch turns that data into an early warning system.

of advance warning FlareWatch aims to deliver, before symptoms strike
based on HRV, sleep & HR signal lag

Flares still arrive without warning.
They don't have to.

For millions of people with chronic conditions, the hardest part isn't the diagnosis. It's not knowing when the next flare is coming, and being forced into reactive care instead of proactive management.

Today
  • ·Flares arrive without warning, often mid-week or mid-commitment
  • ·Reactive treatment: escalate medication after symptoms strike
  • ·Wearables collect thousands of data points, none interpreted for chronic illness
  • ·Gut feeling and symptom diaries are the only early signals
With FlareWatch
  • ✓Days of advance warning before a flare arrives
  • ✓Proactive care: rest, adjust, reach your team before it escalates
  • ✓Your wearable data, finally interpreted for people like you
  • ✓A daily risk score, personalised to your baseline, updated every morning

Simple to set up.
Runs quietly in the background.

No manual logging, no symptom diaries, no extra effort. FlareWatch works from data you're already collecting, including years of history.

From the founder
"I was lying in a hospital bed during a serious Crohn's flare, when my smartwatch told me I was fully recovered and ready to train."

That moment, equal parts absurd and clarifying, made it obvious. Wearables weren't built for people like me. The data was there. The hardware was there. But everything about how it was interpreted assumed the user was healthy, optimising performance, chasing a PB. Nobody had built for people managing chronic illness.

Almost three years on, I've lived through multiple severe flares and major surgery. Through all of it, my watch, packed with sensors and collecting my biometrics every few minutes, had given me nothing useful. So I built what I wish had existed.

FlareWatch reads the signals wearables already collect and translates them into something actionable: for people living with IBD, MS, lupus, fibromyalgia, and dozens of other conditions where knowing what's coming makes all the difference.
