Take the guesswork out of pacing with EDS
Visible turns your body’s data into a daily energy budget with insights you can actually use. If you’re heading over budget, it’ll let you know, so you can slow down before your EDS symptoms catch up.
With visible I have been able to understand better my limits and can stop before I overdo it decreasing pain levels and helpingmesleep better long-term and I feel honestly like a person again not just my illness.

Understand what’s impacting your health
If you live with EDS, you already know activity affects your energy differently. The same walk can feel manageable one day and draining the next, depending on how you slept or what else you've done.
Visible tracks your heart rate and heart rate variability to show how your body responds, so you can learn your patterns and plan your days with confidence.
It’s great to finally have scientific data to back up and justify my daily struggles with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos and Fibromyalgia. That even cooking and showering are exhausting activities.

Make Visible progress
EDS is different for everyone, so it can be hard to make sense of your symptoms. Visible tracks your activity, symptoms, medication and biometrics in one place. See the patterns behind your days and the impact of changes as you make them.
Choose to share your data securely with your clinician through the Clinician Dashboard. A clearer picture of your day-to-day life makes it easier to have better conversations about your care.
I have EDS, vertigo, migraines, and anxiety - this helped me visually see them. It also helped me understand that I wasn't being weak, I was actually doing my best and doing a pretty good job.

Support your nervous system
With EDS, your body can get stuck in ‘fight or flight’ mode. This is the body’s natural response to stress or danger, preparing it to respond quickly. But when this response stays active for too long, it can take a toll on the body.
Slow, controlled breathing can help shift your body into a restful state. Visible calculates your optimal breathing rate and guides you with real-time feedback.
Breathing exercises a game changer for me. Can't recommend enough to anyone with a health issue where pacing yourself is needed to get better.

Harry is Co-founder of Visible. An engineer by training, he began his career in Formula 1 and electric vehicles before developing Long Covid in 2020. Despite being seriously unwell, his tests came back normal and his symptoms were attributed to anxiety or deconditioning.
He turned to fitness trackers to better understand his health. But they tracked workouts, not rest, and pushed people to do more, not to pace.
In 2022, he set out to build a wearable designed around the needs of people with complex chronic illness.
His ambition is to transform how we understand and treat these conditions, giving people greater understanding and support for their health while accelerating research towards better treatments and cures.
Oonagh is Brand Lead at Visible. A former professional rower with the British Rowing Team, she was pre-selected for the Tokyo Olympics before developing Long Covid and ME/CFS, which forced her to retire from professional sport.
Her experience led her into research and advocacy. She has spoken widely in the national media about the need for greater scientific understanding and better care, and completed a research fellowship at the University of Oxford studying Long Covid.
At Visible, she brings these experiences together to lead the company’s brand and communications, working to change how complex chronic illness is understood and accelerate progress towards better care and treatments.
Jemma is Social Media Manager at Visible. Before developing Long Covid, she was a secondary school science teacher. Her illness forced her to leave teaching, and she began sharing her experience of chronic illness online.
Today, she is one of the most recognisable voices in the chronic illness community. She has built an audience of hundreds of thousands with her honest, often hilarious take on life with chronic illness.
She brings that same creativity and understanding of chronic illness to Visible, shaping how we reach, connect with and support people living with these conditions.
Ed is Head of Member Support at Visible. Before joining the team, he held a senior leadership role at a London school. After developing Long Covid, he had to leave teaching and became involved in efforts to improve understanding of these poorly understood conditions.
At Visible, he combines his firsthand experience of illness with his background in education to ensure members receive thoughtful, informed support that reflects the realities of living with complex chronic illness.
Janna is Director of Clinical Affairs and Research at Visible. While at college, an Epstein-Barr virus infection left her with severe post-viral fatigue. The experience inspired her to train as a clinical health psychologist to support others living with health challenges.
After earning her PhD, she researched how technology could improve access to evidence-based healthcare for underserved communities. She also established an independent psychology practice supporting people with chronic illness and pain.
At Visible, she works to make evidence-based tools for living with chronic illness more accessible, ensuring they are grounded in science, measuring their impact and helping bring Visible into healthcare settings at little or no cost to patients.
Paul is Head of Data Science at Visible. Before joining the team, he spent 15 years working in technology and data science on social impact projects across education, public health and social care. He holds a PhD in Computer Science.
Paul developed ME/CFS in 2022. After a difficult year trying to understand what was happening to his health, followed by another year of medical tests and appointments, he was finally diagnosed in 2024.
At Visible, he combines his firsthand experience of illness with his technical expertise, turning the data members share into tools they can trust and advancing scientific understanding of these conditions.
David Putrino is Director of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness (CoRE) at Mount Sinai in New York, a leading US center for Long Covid, ME/CFS and related infection-associated chronic illnesses. He leads clinical trials investigating new treatments for these conditions and also serves as Director of Rehabilitation Innovation for the Mount Sinai Health System and Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine.
David is a scientific advisor to Visible and collaborates with the team on research to better understand what drives symptoms and how people living with complex chronic illness can better manage their health.
Boon Lim is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, specialising in heart rhythm conditions and autonomic disorders, including fainting (syncope), POTS and Long Covid.
He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, many exploring the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and heart health. He is also the founder of StopFainting.com and author of Keeping Your Heart Healthy, published as part of Penguin’s Life Expert series.
Boon is a scientific advisor to Visible, bringing his expertise in autonomic function and heart rate variability to the development of Visible’s technology and research.

Frequently asked questions
Pacing is a strategy for balancing activity and rest to reduce the risk of triggering EDS symptom flare-ups. Instead of pushing through and crashing afterwards, pacing helps you stay within your body’s capacity consistently.
Yes. Visible is designed for people living with complex chronic illnesses, including Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and POTS, helping you pace your activities, stay within your body’s capacity and feel more confident navigating everyday life.
POTS causes an unusually large increase in heart rate when you stand up. Visible tracks your heart rate continuously throughout the day, helping you see when it rises and how it responds to everyday activities. You can also receive real-time alerts when your heart rate enters a higher activity zone, so you can make more informed decisions about when to slow down or rest.
For both EDS and POTS, Visible provides personalized pacing guidance to help you find a more sustainable balance between activity and rest. By tracking your symptoms alongside your biometrics and daily activities, you can begin to recognise patterns and understand what works for your body.
Yes. People with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), particularly hypermobile EDS (hEDS), can experience changes in heart rate. This is often associated with conditions such as POTS, which can cause an unusually large increase in heart rate when you stand up.
Tracking your heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) can also provide valuable information to support pacing. Visible continuously tracks your heart rate throughout the day and measures your HRV overnight, helping you understand how your body is responding to everyday activities and how it’s doing from one day to the next.
By bringing this data together with your symptoms and daily activities, Visible helps you recognise patterns, find a more sustainable balance between activity and rest, and make more informed decisions about how to pace your day.
The Visible Band 2.0 is lightweight and designed to be worn comfortably throughout the day and night.
It can be worn on the wrist or upper arm. Visible ships with a wristband by default, which you wear like a watch. Armbands can be bought via the shop, accessed through the Visible app.
No. Visible is a wearable designed for general information and education, not a medical device. It isn't intended to diagnose or treat EDS, and you should always consult a doctor before making medical decisions.
