Medical Programs
Every Medical Program in Sam
Eight Medical Programs, each tracking six signals from Apple Health and asking a validated questionnaire once a month. Everything feeds one report you can take to your next appointment.

Condition guides
These conditions do not have a Medical Program of their own. Sam's general tracking still applies, and each has a guide covering which signals are worth following and what to bring to an appointment.
Prevention Programs
Three structured self-improvement programs, each with a personal goal, daily tracking and a 90-day progress view.
Sam is a wellness companion, not a medical device and not a medical record system. It does not diagnose conditions, interpret your clinical results, or replace your doctor's care. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions.
Questions about the programs
Which conditions have a Medical Program?+
Eight: high blood pressure, migraine, epilepsy, panic disorder, asthma, hay fever, reflux (GERD) and gout. Each tracks six Apple Health signals, asks a validated questionnaire once a month, and includes a condition-specific log and medication reminders. Other conditions such as AFib, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS and fibromyalgia have guides rather than programs.
How many programs can I run at once?+
On the free tier, two Prevention Programs and one Medical Program at a time, and you choose which Medical Program. Sam Pro runs all of them at once, which matters because these conditions frequently occur together.
What are the validated questionnaires?+
Each Medical Program asks a recognised instrument once a month and charts the score over time: MEDAS-14 for high blood pressure, MIDAS for migraine, NDDI-E for epilepsy, OASIS for panic disorder, GERD-HRQL for reflux, a GINA-aligned control check for asthma, an ARIA-style symptom VAS for hay fever, and a PROMIS-framework check-in for gout.
Does Sam diagnose or treat any of these conditions?+
No. Sam records what you log and what Apple Health already collects, and presents it as trends against your own baseline. It does not diagnose, does not interpret clinical results, and does not make treatment or medication recommendations. The point is to arrive at your appointment with better information.
