Structured data before your patient walks in. Nothing that oversteps after.

AutoImmune Companion, Cancer Companion, and Sugar & Pressure Companion are free, deployed apps your patients can use between appointments. Memoria Companion, GymBuddy, and NovaKinetic are also deployed, on a freemium model. None of them diagnoses, scores a threshold into advice, or tells a patient what to do next. What they do is turn months of memory into one printed page. Mental Health Companion is currently in testing and is covered separately further down this page.

What every Companion app does — and doesn't

These are hard boundaries built into every Companion app from the start, deployed or in testing, not settings that can be turned off.

The four pillars for physicians: standardized input only, published scores with no interpretation, no diagnostic output ever, and device-only data.

The three condition-tracking apps, side by side

These are the apps built around published disease-activity and health tracking tools. They are free, live, and stable.

What arrives in your consultation

Built so a patient brings you data, not a vague recollection of "it's been bad lately."

Three further deployed apps

These are live and free to use at a basic tier, with an optional paid tier for advanced features. They don't use scored clinical indices, so they sit outside the comparison table above.

Memoria Companion

For dementia and Alzheimer's patients and caregiversA daily photo and name reminder for the patient, and a private caregiver toolkit — health log, medications, and a one-screen treatment summary ready for any clinician meeting the patient for the first time.
Device-only dataNothing leaves the phone — no accounts, no server.

NovaKinetic

Weight management and lifestyle improvementA movement and recovery companion for patients rebuilding strength, mobility, or routine after illness, injury, or a stretch of inactivity. May be worth mentioning to a patient for whom a structured, paced lifestyle change is appropriate.
Device-only dataNothing leaves the phone — no accounts, no server.

GymBuddy

Gym exercise planning and trackingGuided home and gym routines and session logging for patients who are already active or want structured training. Of limited clinical relevance — included here for completeness.

App currently in testing

This app is not yet part of the deployed line-up above. It is visible here so you know it exists — not as a recommendation to make to patients for clinical use yet.

Please don't rely on this app clinically yet. Content, features, and availability are still changing. If a patient mentions using it, that's welcome — their feedback helps us finish it — but treat anything it outputs as provisional, not as a settled part of their record.

Mental Health CompanionIn testing

Free Knowledge HubPlain-language condition overviews, guided self-help modules, and a directory of verified South African support organisations and crisis helplines — free, always.
Companion ToolkitAn optional paid tier (coming soon) for day-to-day tracking: wellbeing check-ins, a Health Log, medication and appointment tracking, a safety plan builder, and a printable combined report.
Crisis Safety NetFree in both tiers, never gated by subscription. Surfaces SADAG's national crisis helplines immediately whenever a check-in indicates risk.
No diagnostic output, everLike every other Companion, it does not diagnose, does not interpret an entry as clinical fact, and does not recommend starting, stopping, or changing medication or treatment. It currently has no AI-assisted feature and no named specialist reviewer.
