TachyMon was created by the developer for his niece Alex, who was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in the fall of 2021. POTS seems to be an increasingly common diagnosis, especially for young women. People with POTS often experience fatigue, brain fog, rapid heart rate increases and other symptoms. Alex was experiencing frequent fainting (syncope) and we noticed the fainting occurred when her heart rate increased rapidly, or when her heart rate reached a certain absolute threshold (150 BPM in her case). Alex finds that the TachyMon alerts help her to sit or crouch down when her heart rate is elevated, and this helps her to avoid fainting, and to feel a bit more in control of her POTS.

It is a simple, but specialized app, and we hope it may help others with POTS, or people in other situations when it may be useful to monitor heart rate changes.

APPLE HEALTH
TachyMon integrates with the Apple Health app. TachyMon stores workout information (including heart rate) with the Apple Health app.

Love it

Took a minute to figure out how to get started with the free option as it immediately prompts for a subscription, but now I’m getting all the features I need for now, without needing to pay. It already has greatly increased my ability to track when my POTS related heart rate spikes happen. Thanks for this helpful app!

disappointed

I fully agree with another reviewer of this app, the idea is there and absolutely brilliant! But it IS slimy and skeezy to make us pay to watch our heart rate live, and to view recent alerts and heart rate summaries.

I understand money needs to come in somehow for an app to work nice and smooth, but by god get it from donations. It is so wrong on so many levels to intentionally benefit off of peoples health issues, especially if this was initially made for people like your niece. She is insanely lucky that you made this app for her, and even more lucky that she probably doesn't have to pay to see whats happening to her in real time- let alone pay to even just see summaries of her health.

Im sorry but if you “have” to make disabled people pay to keep your app running just so they can see a summary of their health overtime and possibly export the chart to use to better understand their bodies, you arent doing good for anybody but you and your family.

Live monitoring on the watch, haptic alerts, and review of sessions remain free. The premium subscription includes new features like PDF summary report, annotating events with notes and symptoms, and using a Bluetooth heart rate sensor instead of Apple Watch. Viewing detailed charts (and sharing via text/email from the watch) have been made premium. Everything else from previous versions remains free. A number of new features were added to those charts: you can add notes and symptoms, save to photos, and export to .csv format. I tried to strike a balance between monitoring and alerts (free), and reporting / sharing (premium).

Disappointed - features removed

I loved this app but then all the features were removed and put behind a subscription paywall. This is what we call the disability tax.

The creators claims to have made this for a sick daughter/niece so you would think that they would understand that how slimy it is to take advantage of the chronic illness & disability community.

All the features were not removed: monitoring and haptics alerts remain free - specifically so users could access these critical features without a subscription. Review of sessions in the companion app also remains free. If you are having trouble accessing these free features please email info@whipdev.com for support.
