Understanding Your Health Score Trend

Your daily Health Score is a powerful summary of your gout risk, reflecting not just your food choices, but your overall self-care. The Health Score Trend chart helps you track progress, spot problems, and celebrate success—day by day.

What Does the Health Score Trend Chart Show?​

  • Blue line: Tracks your Health Score each day (from 0 to 100). Higher scores mean better habits and lower gout risk.

  • Green line: Represents the target for optimal health (typically 100). The closer your blue line is to green, the better!

  • Red warning line: Indicates a risk threshold (often set at 70). Scores below this may mean increased risk for gout attacks and are highlighted for attention.

  • Pink shaded area: Visually shows when your Health Score drops below the risk threshold. This helps you quickly identify days that might need improvement.

  • Date range: See trends over a week, a month, or any custom time period.

How to Read the Chart​

  • Blue line at or above green = You’re doing great! Your daily choices are reducing your gout risk.
  • Blue line dips into pink/red area = Warning! Something needs attention—review your diet, hydration, or other habits on those days.
  • Tap or swipe the line to see your exact Health Score for any date.

What is Health Score?​

Your Health Score is a daily summary that combines many factors influencing gout risk:

  • Purine intake (30%)
  • Serum uric acid (SUA, 15%)
  • Calories (10%)
  • Macros (protein, carbs, fats; 10%)
  • Fiber (10%)
  • Diet diversity (10%)
  • Hydration (5%)
  • Healthy streaks (+/- 5%)

A higher score means you’re consistently following best practices for gout prevention.

Using the Chart to Lower Your Gout Risk​

  1. Spot patterns:

    • Are there repeated dips below the warning line?
    • Do weekends, holidays, or stressful periods cause drops?

  2. Investigate causes:

    • Tap low-score days and check your intake logs for purines, water, or unhealthy foods.
    • Check your activity, hydration, and sleep.

  3. Make small changes:

    • Set goals to boost specific areas—like hydration or fiber.
    • Celebrate improvements and streaks!

  4. React to warnings:

    • A day or two below 70 is a good reminder to get back on track.
    • Persistent low scores mean you should review your habits and, if needed, discuss with your healthcare provider.

Tips for Success​

  • Use the Health Score as a daily check-in: It’s your early-warning system, not just a grade.
  • Focus on long-term trends: Occasional dips are normal; steady improvement matters most.
  • Share insights with your doctor or dietitian if you’re unsure how to improve.
