For clinicians
Before each appointment, you receive a summary of what your patient has observed since the last visit. The consultation starts with shared information instead of reconstruction from memory.
Patients log what they notice through a short daily check-in. Wimly organises those entries by symptom area and sends you a summary before each visit. Patients can also flag something to your team when they notice a change between appointments. No monitoring stream, no real-time response expected.
1. The problem
You see your patients twice a year. Their disease changes every week.
You see your rare disease patients once or twice a year. In that appointment, both of you try to reconstruct what has happened since the last one — from what the patient can recall, under pressure, in the time available. The fatigue pattern that shifted in month two. The fall in month four. The functional changes the caregiver has been watching worsen since the previous visit.
This is not a failure of patient effort or clinical attention. It is a structural problem: your patients are generating continuous, detailed observations about their own disease every day, and there is no organised way for those observations to reach you. The clinical picture you work with is a fraction of what exists.
The caregiver who lives with the patient adds a further dimension. They often notice clinical signals before the patient has language for them — gait changes, speech variation by time of day, early indicators that something has shifted. That observational record exists nowhere in the clinical picture. It reaches you only in fragments, in the few minutes of the appointment when they are in the room.
Between your visits, the disease keeps changing. No one with clinical training is watching it happen.
2. The solution
How Wimly gets patient observations to you before each appointment
Wimly gives patients a structured way to document what they observe about their own disease — daily, in whatever time they have, through a conversational interface designed for the worst days as well as the best ones. Every observation is organised by symptom area, timestamped, and added to a running personal record.
Before each appointment, Wimly assembles those observations into a consultation summary: what has accumulated since the last visit, organised by area, flagged with what the patient wants to raise, and inclusive of the caregiver's parallel record where one exists. Your clinical team reviews it before the patient walks in. The consultation begins with shared information.
Between appointments, patients can send an attention flag when something changes and they want to communicate it — a structured, asynchronous message that appears in your team's dashboard when they next check. Scheduled check-ins, configured by your clinical team at whatever frequency fits your practice, provide a regular rhythm of between-visit contact without unscheduled calls.
Instead of reconstructing six months of disease history in the room, you arrive with it already in front of you.
No monitoring burden and no real-time demands
No continuous monitoring stream. No real-time response obligation. No automated clinical inferences. Your clinical team configures the engagement model that fits your practice — reviewing the consultation summary before clinic sessions, checking the dashboard on your schedule, responding to attention flags within agreed windows. Wimly organises and communicates. Clinical judgement remains entirely with you.
3. The result
The consultation that begins where the last one ended
Your patient arrives and you have already reviewed six months of observations. The appointment begins from a shared picture. You spend the consultation time on clinical reasoning, not on history-taking from memory.
Telephone and video consultations change substantially. A fifteen-minute call informed by a structured observation summary is a clinical conversation. Without that information, a short call is mostly spent catching up on what has happened.
The caregiver's observations arrive before the visit — the gait change worsening over three months, the speech pattern that shifts by time of day, the things noticed before the patient has language for them. You see a more complete picture than either the patient or caregiver can provide alone.
Over time, the observations that accumulate — organised by symptom area, continuous across years — are a record of this patient's disease trajectory that has not been available in this form before. For rare disease patients you follow for years, that continuity has both clinical and research value.
