Description
Lupus is unpredictable. Lycana isn't.
Lycana is the lupus companion built around a simple promise: your health data is yours, and your phone is smart enough to help. Everything runs
on-device, nothing is uploaded, and the app learns your body's patterns over time so it can warn you before a flare hits.
WHAT LYCANA DOES
• Predicts flares before you feel them. Lycana analyzes your Apple Watch signals — heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, steps, blood oxygen,
and wrist temperature — alongside your symptoms and labs to give you a daily flare risk score. The model trains on your data and gets smarter the
longer you use it.
• Times your medications safely. Tell Lycana what you take and when you eat — it figures out the safest times for each pill, accounting for food
interactions, thyroid timing rules, sun-sensitive drugs, and the constraints that matter for lupus protocols.
• Tracks symptoms in 30 seconds. Quick-log fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, rash, and more. Lycana spots patterns you would miss and connects them
back to triggers, weather, and your treatment.
• Reads your lab reports. Scan a paper or PDF lab result and Lycana uses on-device Vision to extract your numbers and chart trends across
anti-dsDNA, complement, ESR, and dozens more markers.
• Gives you Luna, your AI coach. Built on Apple Foundation Models, Luna runs entirely on your iPhone. Ask questions, get personalized suggestions,
log symptoms by voice — all without sending a single byte to anyone's servers.
• Watches the weather for you. UV alerts for sun-sensitive medications, heat warnings, and humidity tracking — because your environment is part of
your protocol.
• Handles supplements safely. Lycana flags supplements that interact with your meds and schedules them at safe times, so vitamins help instead of
hurting.
BUILT FOR LUPUS WARRIORS
Most health apps were built for people who happen to be sick. Lycana was built for people who live with lupus every day. Every screen, every
default, every feature is shaped by what actually matters: photosensitivity, fatigue, medication timing, comorbidities like Hashimoto's and
Sjögren's, and the reality that flares do not wait for office hours.
PRIVACY IS THE FOUNDATION
• 100% on-device. Your medications, symptoms, labs, and flare history never leave your iPhone.
• No accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics on your health data.
• Sensitive data stored in iOS Keychain with PHI-grade encryption.
• Apple Health access is read-only and you control every metric.
• Open about what we do — and do not — collect.
WORKS BEAUTIFULLY WITH APPLE WATCH
Lycana uses your Apple Watch as a flare-prediction sensor. The more you wear it, the better the model gets. Wrist temperature on Apple Watch Series
8 and later unlocks the strongest flare signal we have.
WHO LYCANA IS FOR
• Anyone living with SLE, discoid, drug-induced, or other lupus types
• People managing lupus alongside Hashimoto's, Sjögren's, fibromyalgia, Raynaud's, antiphospholipid syndrome, or rheumatoid arthritis
• Patients on hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, prednisone, biologics, or any combination
• Anyone tired of generic health apps that do not understand their disease
A NOTE ON MEDICAL ADVICE
Lycana is a tracking and pattern-recognition tool, not a replacement for your rheumatologist. Always discuss treatment changes with your care team.
We help you bring better data to your appointments — the decisions stay with you and your doctor.
What's new (v1.7)
Today, redesigned.
• Your Today screen is now a true status dashboard — at a glance, see your UV, weather,
7-day flare trend, and weekly adherence in one tidy 2×2 view.
• Hero rings show your daily progress without competing for attention.
• A single, focused action list shows exactly what needs you next — including your daily
check-in with Luna.
• Cleaner Luna and profile screens, with a polished empty state when you haven't filled in
your details yet.
• Tightened spacing and removed redundant alerts so the home screen breathes.
Plus a quiet round of stability fixes under the hood.
