Daily Check-ins
Track how you feel every day in 30 seconds.
Daily Check-ins
A check-in is a brief daily snapshot of how you're feeling. It takes about 30 seconds, it asks the same questions every day, and over time it builds a longitudinal health record that neither you nor your doctor could construct from memory alone.
What a Check-in Captures
| Field | Type | Range / Format |
|---|---|---|
| Mood | Integer | 1 (very low) – 5 (excellent) |
| Energy | Integer | 1 (exhausted) – 5 (high energy) |
| Focus | Integer | 1 (foggy) – 5 (sharp) |
| Sleep hours | Decimal | e.g., 6.5, 8.0 |
| Step count | Integer | e.g., 8432 |
| Journal note | Text (optional) | Free-form, up to 2000 characters |
The Check-in Wizard
The mobile app guides you through a three-step wizard so you're never staring at a blank form.
How You Feel
Three sliders — Mood, Energy, and Focus — each scored 1 through 5. Each has a label at both ends so the scale is always clear (e.g., "Very Low" to "Excellent" for mood). Tap the number or drag the slider.
Body Stats
Log your sleep hours from last night and your step count for today. If you have Apple Health or a Garmin connected, these fields pre-populate automatically from your wearable data — you just confirm or adjust.
Journal (Optional)
A free-text field for anything else on your mind: symptoms that aren't severe enough to log separately, life events, medication changes, or just how your day went. This context is included in AI insight analysis.
Each Metric Explained
Mood (1–5)
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Very low — significantly impaired, distressed |
| 2 | Low — noticeably below baseline |
| 3 | Neutral — an average day |
| 4 | Good — above average, positive |
| 5 | Excellent — energized, content, thriving |
Rate your overall emotional and psychological state for the day, not just a single moment.
Energy (1–5)
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhausted — struggled to get through basic tasks |
| 2 | Fatigued — noticeably low stamina |
| 3 | Normal — typical energy level |
| 4 | Good — felt productive and active |
| 5 | High energy — felt strong and capable all day |
Focus (1–5)
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Very foggy — couldn't concentrate |
| 2 | Distracted — frequent mind-wandering |
| 3 | Average — normal cognitive day |
| 4 | Sharp — good concentration and recall |
| 5 | Excellent — clear, focused, highly productive |
Sleep Hours
Enter the total hours you slept the previous night, including naps if they were significant. Decimals are fine — 7.5 means 7 hours 30 minutes. If you have a wearable connected, this value is pulled automatically.
Step Count
Your total steps for the current day. Like sleep, this auto-fills from Apple Health or Garmin if connected. Update it at the end of the day if you check in early.
Streaks
AVYCENNA tracks your daily check-in streak — the number of consecutive days you've completed a check-in.
- Your streak increments when you check in on consecutive calendar days.
- Missing a single day resets the streak to 0.
- Streaks are displayed on the home screen and in your profile.
Even a streak of 7 days gives the AI insight engine enough data to start detecting meaningful patterns in your mood and energy. At 30 days, patterns become much more reliable.
Streaks are motivational, but they're not the point. A month of honest data with two missed days is far more valuable than a perfect streak of overly optimistic scores.
Editing Today's Check-in
You can update today's check-in at any time before midnight. Tap the check-in from the home screen and adjust any field. Your step count in particular is worth updating at the end of the day if you checked in at noon.
Only today's check-in can be edited. Past check-ins are read-only to maintain the integrity of your health history.
Exporting Your Data
Your check-in history is yours. You can export it at any time from Settings → Export Data. The export includes all check-ins as a JSON file, which you can open in any spreadsheet app or share with your care team.
