Living with Fibromyalgia
Sleep, activity, and stress are closely linked in fibromyalgia. Sam shows you these connections using your own wearable data - so you can spot patterns instead of guessing.
Your data
Your wearable already captures them. Sam reads them from Apple Health and shows you how they shift against your personal baseline.
Sam reads the data your wearable already writes to Apple Health and compares it to your personal baseline - understandable, not a wall of numbers.
Non-restorative sleep is one of the core symptoms of fibromyalgia. Sam shows your sleep duration, sleep times, and trends compared to your personal baseline - and the sleep program uses the scientifically validated Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire.
Many people with fibromyalgia recognize the pattern of pushing hard on good days and paying for it afterward. Your activity trends help you spread activity more evenly - an approach that's also common in pain management.
Many people with fibromyalgia report that stress makes their symptoms worse, and relaxation techniques are recommended in treatment guidelines. Sam's stress program uses the validated Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) questionnaire along with short daily exercises.

Sam translates your numbers into clear answers and a report you can take with you.
Instead of interpreting charts, you ask questions - Sam answers from your own numbers. For example:
The monthly PDF report sums up your weeks objectively - for appointments, applications, or simply your own record.

Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS overlap significantly - up to 70% meet criteria for both. The critical difference is post-exertional malaise (PEM), and it determines whether exercise helps or harms.
How to set up Sam for fibromyalgia, which metrics matter, and how to prepare a report for your next pain management appointment.
Aerobic exercise is one of fibromyalgia's best-supported treatments - unless post-exertional malaise (PEM) is also present. How to tell the difference and what the research says.
Non-restorative sleep is a core symptom of fibromyalgia. Here is what sleep medicine research shows about the link between deep sleep, pain, and exhaustion - and how to interpret your wearable data.
No. Sam doesn't record pain or symptoms. Sam only reads sleep, activity, and resting heart rate trends from Apple Health and shows them to you compared with your personal baseline - your pain and symptoms remain something only you and your treatment team assess.
Comparing yourself to population averages rarely helps with fibromyalgia. Sam compares you to yourself instead: how was your sleep this week compared to your last few weeks? That makes changes visible that would otherwise get lost in everyday life.
No. Sam is a wellness companion, not a medical device, and it doesn't replace therapy. Sam can help you understand your habits and bring structured observations into your care.
The core symptoms of fibromyalgia include chronic pain in multiple areas of the body, non-restorative sleep, and pronounced fatigue. Sam doesn't track these symptoms itself - instead, it shows you sleep, activity, and resting heart rate trends from Apple Health as additional context.
No. No smartwatch or wearable can detect or diagnose fibromyalgia - that remains a medical diagnosis made by a doctor. Sam only reads your sleep, activity, and resting heart rate trends from Apple Health and compares them with your personal baseline, without evaluating symptoms or pain.
No. Fibromyalgia is not classified as an autoimmune disease or an inflammatory rheumatic condition, even though it's often confused with rheumatism and many people with fibromyalgia are cared for by a rheumatologist. Its cause is altered pain processing in the central nervous system, known as central sensitization - not inflammation or a misdirected immune response.
