Frequently asked questions about Sequa

Sequa is a personal health app that brings the different parts of your health together in one place. You can track symptoms, conditions, medications, treatments, measurements, blood results and daily changes, and Sequa organises them into one history over time: what happened, when it happened, and what else was changing around it. It is most useful when your health cannot be understood from one measurement, one symptom, or one appointment alone.

Anyone who wants a more organised view of their health, but it is most useful for people whose health is a long story rather than a single visit: living with one or more long-term conditions, taking several medications or treatments, investigating recurring symptoms, following a structured protocol, or simply trying to understand how things are changing over time. You do not need a diagnosis to use Sequa.

Yes. Managing more than one condition is one of the problems Sequa is specifically designed around. Rather than keeping a separate diary for each, your symptoms, treatments, measurements and results sit on a single timeline, so the overlap between conditions stops being guesswork. Pain may improve while fatigue worsens; a treatment for one condition may coincide with a change somewhere else. Sequa lets you see it together, because your conditions may have different names, but your body does not experience them separately.

No. Sequa records and organises. It does not advise. It helps you organise and understand information about your health, but it does not replace a doctor, diagnose conditions, recommend treatment, or provide emergency care. If you are worried about a new or serious symptom, seek medical advice rather than relying on Sequa. In an emergency, call 999 or 112 in the UK, or 911 in the US.

Depending on the features you use: symptoms; conditions; medications and supplements; treatment protocols; the doses you actually logged; blood tests and other measurements; weight and body measurements; blood pressure; daily check-ins; notes; and appointment-related information. The point is not the individual entries but what they add up to: one history, in date order, that you can actually read back.

Yes. You can record symptoms and follow how they change alongside everything else you track. That matters most when you are trying to remember when something started, whether it has really become more frequent, or what else was happening around the same period. You do not have to rely on “I think it started a few weeks ago”: the history is there to refer back to.

Yes. Blood results and biomarkers sit in the same history as your symptoms, treatments and medications, so a result has the months around it rather than standing alone in a portal, a PDF or an email. You can follow a single marker across every panel you have logged, with the dates your treatment changed drawn on the same axis.

Yes, though Sequa goes further than a diary. A diary records what happened; Sequa gives those entries structure, so months of symptoms, medications, tests and changes become a timeline you can search, filter and read back, rather than pages you have to re-read from the start.

Yes. Treatments sit alongside the rest of your health information, so you can see what you were taking, when you were taking it, and what else was happening around the same time. For treatments you manage regularly, Sequa also handles schedules, reminders and supply.

Yes. Sequa supports protocols with scheduled and repeated doses, oral and injectable, each on its own schedule and route. You record what you actually took, not just what was planned, and every change of dose or schedule is kept as part of the history rather than overwritten. Sequa does not prescribe or determine doses.

Yes. Sequa can organise a GLP-1 treatment alongside your weight, side effects, doses and blood results, including the full titration history and how the weeks after each step up went. It works with medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, including Wegovy and Mounjaro. Sequa does not prescribe GLP-1 medication or tell you what dose to take; treatment decisions belong with your prescriber.

Yes. If you are on testosterone replacement therapy, Sequa keeps the doses you logged, the schedule, the modelled exposure pattern, your blood panels and how you felt in one chain, in date order, with every protocol change kept rather than overwritten. It is a tracking and organisation tool: it does not determine what your protocol should be.

Yes, where you add your supply. A refill reminder is a guess with a date on it; because the dose, the schedule and every dose you logged are already in the record, what you have left is worked out from what is physically in your fridge and drawer, with an estimated run-out per item. Sequa does not order refills or renew prescriptions.

Yes. Visit Prep reads back over a period you choose and gathers what is worth raising: what changed, what improved, what worsened, what started and stopped, and the questions you saved as they occurred to you. Instead of reconstructing months of health from memory the night before, you go in with the record already assembled and spend the appointment on the conversation instead of the reconstruction. It works for GP and primary care visits, specialist and consultant appointments, treatment reviews, and follow-ups, and you choose what each preparation contains: your record does not change, only what you bring from it.

Yes, on your terms. A clinician sees what you choose to show them: a Visit Prep summary on your screen, or an export you send. There is no standing access to the record behind it, and nothing is shared simply because you recorded it.

Yes. Insights compares what you record against everything else you record, including sleep, steps and heart rate variability where you allow Apple Health access, and shows where two things move together, with the number of entries and days behind each observation stated openly. A pattern is a place to start a conversation with your clinician, not proof that one thing caused another, and Sequa says so rather than implying a diagnosis.

Notes are fine for remembering individual things, and much harder to use across months or years of symptoms, medications, tests and changes. Sequa gives that information structure: one timeline where you can see what happened, when it happened, and what else was changing at the same time. The problem with scattered notes is not only that they are scattered; it is that the relationships between the moments disappear.

You do. Your record lives on your device and, if you choose to sync, in your own iCloud. There is no Sequa account holding a copy, and using Sequa does not transfer ownership of your health information to us. Sharing starts with you: nothing leaves your phone unless you choose it.

No. We do not sell personal health information, and for your health record we could not: Sequa does not hold a copy of it. Your record lives on your device and, if you sync, in your own iCloud. The little Sequa itself holds, such as support correspondence, is covered by the same rule as policy, set out in the Privacy Policy.

No. Your health information is not used to build advertising profiles or to target you based on your medical history. Health information is not advertising inventory, and there is no behavioural analytics or telemetry service in the Sequa app.

No. We cannot hand your health record to an insurer, an employer, or anyone else, because we do not hold a copy of it. Your record is on your device and, if you sync, in your own iCloud. What you log is yours to show, and yours to keep private.

No. There is no sign-up, no email to start, and no Sequa profile. Open the app and begin. A paid subscription, if you choose one, attaches to your Apple ID through the App Store, not to a Sequa account.

HIPAA is a US law that applies to healthcare providers, insurers, and companies processing data on their behalf. A consumer app you use for yourself is generally not covered by it, and Sequa does not claim to be. That is not a loophole we lean on: the record HIPAA would protect is one Sequa does not hold at all. What protects you here is the architecture, together with the UK and US privacy laws that do apply to Sequa, set out in the Privacy Policy. If Sequa is ever provided to you through a healthcare organisation, that service comes with its own arrangements and protections.

Yes. The Privacy Policy sets out the limited information Sequa itself processes, the legal bases for it, how long it is kept, and your rights under UK data protection law. Most of what you record never becomes information Sequa processes at all: it stays on your device.

On your device and, if you turn on sync, in your own iCloud: your private CloudKit database, under your Apple ID, encrypted by Apple in transit and at rest. Sequa has no servers holding health records. Your iCloud, not ours.

Yes, both, from the app itself. You can export your information, and Delete all data removes the Sequa data the app holds; if iCloud sync is on, the deletion reaches your iCloud copy too, though not instantly. Uninstalling the app alone does not delete an iCloud copy. The Privacy Policy covers the rights that apply to the little Sequa itself holds.

Yes. With your permission, Sequa can read steps, heart rate, sleep, heart rate variability and activity from Apple Health, so that data can sit alongside what you record directly. Permissions are granular: you can allow one category, withhold another, and change your mind at any time in iOS Settings.

Turn on iCloud sync and your history moves with you: set up a new iPhone under your Apple ID and your record arrives. Sync is optional and goes to your own iCloud, not to a Sequa server. If sync is off, your record exists only on that phone, so if your history matters to you, keep sync on or export copies.

Sequa is currently available for iPhone. We would like to bring it to more platforms over time, but there is no Android version today and no date to announce.

Yes, both. Sequa is designed for people managing their health independently: it does not depend on any particular healthcare provider, insurer or system, and your history does not reset when your care moves between services. In the UK, nothing you record becomes an NHS record unless you share it; in the US, no insurer or provider system is connected to your record.

Sequa is free to download and use, with no account needed. Some advanced features are available through an optional subscription in the app.
