Conditions we focus on
The same inflammation-driven conditions can behave very differently day to day. Hurtl is designed around axial spondyloarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis so your log matches how these diseases show up in real life.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA)
Track spinal symptoms, fatigue, flares, and related signals so changes over time are easier to recall at clinic visits. axSpA includes both non-radiographic axSpA and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Index tracked: BASDAI
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Log joint symptoms, morning stiffness, flare patterns, and treatment notes alongside the metrics that matter for your plan.
Index tracked: RAPID3
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
Capture joint, skin, and enthesis-related signals in one place for a fuller picture when symptoms overlap or shift.
Index tracked: DAPSA
Take the guesswork out of rheumatology appointments
Appointments often hinge on “how have you been since we last met?” — and memory is unreliable. Hurtl collects your inflammatory arthritis data over time, then turns it into a PDF report you can bring to clinic: averages, trends, condition-specific scores, flare days and medication adherence in one place.
-
Log symptoms in the app
Track pain, stiffness, fatigue, flares and medication for inflammatory arthritis as you go — not in a rush the night before clinic.
-
See patterns between visits
Charts and calculated indices for your condition — such as BASDAI where Hurtl calculates the score. For RA and PsA, we leave RAPID3 and DAPSA to your rheumatologist and help you see trends in the data you log.
-
Export a PDF for your appointment
Generate a report for the period you choose — share it with your rheumatologist or GP so conversations start from facts, not guesswork.
You choose the date range and what to share. Your log stays on your device until you export — the report is for preparation, not a clinical diagnosis.
Why I started Hurtl
A note from Tom, founder
I first realised something was wrong in my early 20s. It began with sleepless nights with back pain and then flares of stabbing “hip” pain that made walking impossible. I remember traveling for work and barely being able to put my socks on when I thought enough is enough.
After years of misdiagnosis, I was finally diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (now referred to as axial spondyloarthritis) and began the process of regular doctor appointments asking me about my pain scores to calculate BASDAI.
I always found these scores inaccurate, relying on my memory rather than actual data, so initially I started writing a pain diary. This gave me the idea to develop Hurtl — a more accurate, informative way of keeping track of my condition with ways to share this data directly with doctors and family.
My aim is to give people a useful tool to give you control back over your condition.
