About Us

My former wife was diagnosed with MS in April 2008. As part of our research, we discovered that keeping a daily journal of symptoms was highly recommended to monitor progress. However, I noticed this was a difficult and tedious endeavor using a paper journal. I also felt that it would became increasingly difficult to write daily long hand entries in a journal, or even type the identical entries on a computer. And trying to communicate several months’ worth of this information to a neurologist during a scheduled visit could be a problem due to the short amount of time available during the appointment.

 As a computer professional with several years experience supporting medical transcription and electronic medical records software, I created a database application that would enable her to track her symptoms much more easily.

After over a year of development, I was able to design a program that allowed her to point and click to make most entries. Actual typing was minimal. In the program, I included numerous report options that gave the opportunity to take information and put it into a usable format to give to a neurologist.  All the information was based on paper journals.  I was able to include all the information about the symptoms she experienced, their severity, location and the activity associated with the symptom.

When I first started developing this program, my goal was to help make this part of her life with MS less of a struggle.  After more research, I thought that others with MS and similar chronic diseases could benefit from this type of symptom tracking. That is what has led me to developing a version that I could offer to the public at a reasonable cost.  I am very excited about how this program can help others.
