Your body keeps a record of the days before a flare: the skin temperature that was up, the resting heart rate that crept higher, the long day on your feet, the recovery that never came. GoutMe collects those numbers from a connected wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect, and the screen numbers from the phone itself, and tests each one against your flares.
Across ten studies of weight loss in people with gout, 3 to 34 kg lost, six of the eight that measured it reported fewer flares.
Nielsen et al., Ann Rheum Dis 2017Skin temperature, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, recovery, strain, stress index, steps, time in high heart rate zones, SpO2, weight, body fat, blood pressure and blood glucose, whichever your source provides. Garmin, Oura, Polar and WHOOP connect directly; Apple Watch, Fitbit, Samsung and most other devices come in through Apple Health or Health Connect.
If your source is Garmin or Oura, the stress number is the one your device worked out. Otherwise GoutMe computes a stress index each morning from your HRV and resting heart rate against your own two-week baseline, which needs both of them. There is no stress score to fill in; a stressful day or feeling low can be added as a one-tap trigger instead.
If your scale or your health app writes weight, body fat, blood pressure or blood glucose, they come in and are plotted, and weight and blood glucose high or low are collected triggers. A weight change you noticed yourself is one tap. None of it is advice; it is the record the comparison runs on.
Stress high and low, recovery high and low, steps high and low, high heart rate zones, screen time, late screens, blood pressure and blood glucose are collected and tested against your flares with the same statistics as sleep or weather.
Monitor and then Physical Health: today's numbers at the top, then skin temperature, recovery, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, strain, SpO2, high heart rate zones and steps, with your flares laid over the history.

A connected source for the body numbers. Garmin, Oura, Polar and WHOOP connect in Connections; Apple Watch and anything writing to Apple Health or Health Connect arrives that way. Usage access on Android for screen time. The stress index needs both HRV and resting heart rate.
Garmin, Oura, Polar and WHOOP connect directly in Connections. Apple Watch and anything else that writes to Apple Health on iPhone, or Health Connect on Android, comes in from there.
No. Skin temperature, HRV, resting heart rate and respiratory rate come from your connected source. The app reads them, it does not measure them.
No. A wearable reports one skin temperature, usually from the wrist or finger. The warm joint you can feel is an early sign you log yourself.
