Symptom Tracking Is Very Broken. Voice AI Might Be the Fix.

Most symptom tracking tools weren’t built for the people who actually need them.

They assume you have the energy to scroll. The clarity to type. The hands to tap. The mental bandwidth to remember how you felt three hours ago.

But if you’re living with chronic illness, disability, fatigue, or invisible conditions, that’s often not your reality. It wasn’t mine either, especially after two strokes and heart surgery in my early 30s.

I remember trying to track my symptoms. I’d open an app, only to be met with an overwhelming amount of checkboxes, drop-down menus, sliders, and checklists. Ten taps in, I’d close it out. I was too tired. Too foggy. Too overwhelmed.

So I stopped tracking altogether.

Then I realized the problem wasn’t just me. It was the tools.

So I built something different.

Why Voice-First Technology Changes Everything

Laso is a voice-first, low-touch symptom tracker designed for people living with chronic illness, pain, disability, and fatigue. You speak. Laso listens. Then it transforms what you say into structured, meaningful health insights.

But this isn’t just about convenience.

It’s about solving real, structural flaws in how we approach symptom tracking today.

Let’s break it down.

10 Reasons Voice AI Is Better Than Checkboxes

1. Energy conservation

When every ounce of energy counts, tapping through 15 screens isn’t feasible. Speaking takes seconds.

2. Cognitive overload

Brain fog makes structure hard. Voice lets users talk freely—no need to categorize or summarize mid-flare.

3. Real-world nuance

Checkboxes are binary. Voice captures complexity. “My chest feels tight but not painful” is insight—not noise.

4. Increased consistency

Low-friction logging = more adherence. Our early users log symptoms 3–5x more consistently than with manual tools.

5. Trigger pattern detection

Laso’s AI can detect triggers from everyday language. “After that wine,” “when I skipped lunch,” “since my last period.”

6. Context-rich entries

“I felt dizzy this morning after barely sleeping” is more than one symptom. It’s timeline, trigger, and tone—baked in.

7. Better clinical conversations

Laso generates exportable reports that blend structured data with real language—bridging the gap between patients and providers.

8. Emotional dimension

Tone matters. Voice carries frustration, fear, confusion, things checkboxes can’t.

9. Accessibility by design

Voice-first means you can log symptoms lying down, eyes closed, or mid-crash. It adapts to you—not the other way around.

10. Privacy, redefined

We built our Trust Center from day one. All voice data is user-owned, encrypted, and never shared or sold. You own your health story.

What We’re Building

Laso isn’t just another health app. It’s a patient-led rethinking of how we capture what our bodies are trying to tell us — especially when we’re too tired, foggy, or flaring to manage it all ourselves.

It’s powered by AI, but grounded in humanity.

It’s built for the moments most apps ignore.

It’s a tool I needed, and now I’m building it for others who do too.

Symptom tracking shouldn’t feel like a second job.

With the right technology, it doesn’t have to.
