For the past five years, I've been trying to get answers from doctors. Not dramatic answers — just an explanation for why I feel the way I do. Fatigue that comes and goes. Symptoms that don't add up to anything obvious. A feeling that something isn't quite right.
The problem isn't that doctors don't care. Most of them do. The problem is that the system doesn't give them the time to care properly anymore. A ten minute appointment, a few questions, and you're back out the door. There's no continuity. No one building a picture of you over time. No personal doctor who knows your history the way they used to.
I knew that if I could walk into an appointment with six months of detailed health data — what I ate, how I slept, when symptoms appeared and what preceded them — I'd have a fighting chance of actually getting somewhere. But that's easier said than done.
When you feel fine, you forget to log. When you feel awful, you don't have the energy. Apps are fiddly. Notebooks get lost. And even if you do log something, making sense of it all is another challenge entirely.
I'm an IT engineer by background — a self-confessed tech nerd — and I started thinking about what a genuinely useful health tracking tool would actually look like. Not another app to download and forget. Something that came to you. Something that reminded you. Something that did the analysis so you didn't have to.
That conversation is what turned a personal project into MyHealthLogger. A consumer-grade AI health companion that lives in Telegram — the app most people already have — and quietly builds the health picture that your GP doesn't have the time to build for you.
It reminds you to log at meal times. It understands what you say in plain English, or from a photo, or from a voice note. It spots patterns you'd never notice yourself. And once a day it produces a report that cross-references your logs against medical research and your own health history — the kind of joined-up thinking that used to happen in a long relationship with a family doctor.
Food intolerances, nutritional deficiencies, gut patterns, medication effects — logged and analysed over time.
Mood, anxiety, thought journalling, sleep quality — tracked and correlated with lifestyle events.
Exercise, recovery, energy levels, hydration — everything a fitness tracker does, plus the health context around it.
No new app to download. Works on any phone. Text, voice note, or photo — log in seconds.
