How it works
in five steps

log your spins. the rest happens on its own.

VertigoMe asks one thing of you: log your spins. Everything else, the data, the detection, the score, the outlook and the learning, happens on its own. Here is what that looks like, and the three ways to start.

Five steps

the same five the app shows you on first launch

ConnectData flows in from your wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect, and your phone

DetectSleep changes, weather shifts, and stress spikes get flagged automatically

ScoreEverything adds up to your daily risk

EstimateSee your risk outlook 7 days ahead

LearnGets smarter the more you use it

The AI needs about five logged spins before it has anything to say. Every screen can be filled with example data first, so nothing is empty while you get there.

Three ways to start

pick the one that fits today

Just start

0 minutes · In a spin? This one.

Straight into the app. Nothing to fill in, nothing to connect.
Log your spins as they happen. That is the only thing you have to do.
Connecting your wearable and turning on which data you would like to collect is yours to do, in Settings.

Give the AI a head start

About 3 minutes · Minimal setup for the app to work.

Answer a short set of questions about your spins.
Connect a wearable and Apple Health or Health Connect, if you have them.
Your risk gauge is personal from day one instead of week five.

Questions

Do I have to connect anything?

No. Log your spins as they happen; that is the only thing you have to do. Wearables, Apple Health or Health Connect, calendar, location, microphone and screen time are each optional and each explained before you grant them.

How long until the app is useful?

The risk gauge is personal from day one if you answer the setup questions. The AI needs about five logged spins before it has anything to say.

Can I redo the setup?

Yes. Redo Onboarding in Profile walks you through it again and leaves your data untouched.
