- Tracking for sleep, nutrition, and daily routines to see how habits affect health
- Medication tracking including side-effect notes and pain management entries

Privacy and Data Safety
Folia Health emphasizes user confidentiality. The app uses industry-standard safeguards and encrypts stored information on secure servers. Sharing is always under the user’s control; data is only released when you explicitly permit it.
Who May Find This Useful
This app is especially helpful for people seeking patterns while pursuing a diagnosis or managing ongoing conditions such as autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and mental health disorders. It supports both symptom tracking and medication management for a wide range of rare and chronic illnesses.

Important Health Note
Folia Health is a self-monitoring aid and not a replacement for professional medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider before changing treatments, medications, or care plans based on app data.
