One feature I wanted was the ability to generate a simple summary patients can bring to appointments or upload to their chart.
The app can export a report showing symptom trends, treatments, medications, and flat test results in one place.
One thing I’ve learned from caring for patients with #spinalCSFleaks is that many already track their symptoms, upright time, treatments, and medications in notebooks or spreadsheets.
After seeing this repeatedly (and learning a lot from patients who have been doing this thoughtfully for years), I have built a simple app to help organize that information and generate a clear recovery timeline that can be shared with their doctors.
My hope is that making this information easier to track and export may help facilitate better care, and eventually research.
Hoping to release #Upright soon and will keep the community posted.

@AndrewCallenMD@DrIanCarroll Great work @AndrewCallenMD@DrIanCarroll ! Data on outcomes on patients with orthostatic headache with negative imaging is a critical need - so glad it’s being addressed. This is one of our largest knowledge gaps - we need more attention to this population in particular.
