Owlfred is an AI-powered health butler designed for people with chronic illnesses. It helps you connect your symptoms, lab results, and wearable data (like from a Fitbit or Apple Watch) to find hidden patterns and flare triggers.
The goal is to give you clear insights you can share with your doctor, so you can feel more confident in your appointments and get the care you deserve.
A notebook or standard app is just a list of your data. Owlfred is a "butler" that *analyzes* that data for you.
Instead of you trying to remember what you ate three days before a flare-up, Owlfred's AI does the work, connecting the dots and pointing out correlations like, "We've noticed your fatigue scores tend to increase 48 hours after you eat gluten."
Owlfred is designed to be "condition-agnostic," meaning it can help anyone who experiences flare-ups and needs to track a combination of symptoms, labs, and lifestyle data.
It's especially helpful for people with "messy" or complex conditions like Crohn's & Colitis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, and other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases.
Our AI uses correlation analysis to find patterns in the data you provide. It looks at your symptom logs, lab results, sleep data, activity levels, and more to find connections that aren't obvious.
For example, it can help spot potential flare triggers, identify early warning signs (like a rise in resting heart rate before a flare), or show how your lab markers (like CRP) trend with your reported symptoms over time.
No. Absolutely not. Owlfred does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment plans. It is not a replacement for your doctor or medical team.
Owlfred is an insights tool designed to *support* you and your doctor. It spots correlations and organizes your data to help you ask better questions and have more productive conversations during your appointments.
Yes. Protecting your data is our highest priority. We use robust security measures, including data encryption (both in transit and at rest) and build our platform to be HIPAA-compliant. Your personal health information is kept private and secure.
No. We do not sell your personal, identifiable health data to advertisers or third parties. Our business model is built on providing value directly to you through our premium subscription, not on selling your data.
Owlfred provides a "Clinician-Ready Summary" feature. This generates a clear, simple report of your insights, trends, and correlations. You can choose to export this summary as a secure PDF to print or email to your doctor's office, giving them a clear picture of your health between visits.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. federal law that sets national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information (Protected Health Information or "PHI") from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.
We build Owlfred's technical architecture and security policies to be compliant with these standards to ensure your information is safe.
Owlfred uses a "freemium" model. The core features—like the health journal, symptom logging, and data tracking—are available for free.
We offer an **Owlfred Premium** subscription that unlocks the AI-powered insights, advanced correlation analysis, and the "Clinician-Ready Summary" reports. This subscription model allows us to run our business without ever selling your personal data.
Owlfred is built to be your central hub. It integrates directly with major health data sources, including:
This allows Owlfred to automatically import your sleep, heart rate, activity, and other vitals to use in its correlation analysis.
