What if someone else knows how to fix your headache… because they had the same headache

Celie helps you, and you help science

Ever felt like doctors don’t know how to help people like you? We want to change that.

We’re building datasets to drive research into understudied and underdiagnosed conditions.

By sharing your symptoms, diagnoses and treatments with Celie, you can not only help others but also shape the future of medical research.

We think that’s pretty cool.

How does Celie work?

We’ve noticed that doctors sometimes undervalue patients’ testimony, preferring to rely on exams and test results. We think this is a great way to miss interesting data.

Celie collects information about your symptoms in your own words. We use machine learning methods to build a data map of everyone’s symptoms, diagnoses and treatments.

People who describe similar symptoms will usually show up near each other on the data map, even if one or both are undiagnosed, or one person’s diagnosis is wrong. And if you do have the same diagnosis, well, you might have just found your illness twin. Aren’t you curious to know which treatment worked best for them?

FAQ

  • Celie is for any health issue, big or small.

    We particularly want to help people who have had a hard time getting answers through the normal routes. If you are diagnosed with a vague catch-all condition, or your diagnosis keeps changing, or you can’t even get a diagnosis, it’s probably time to try Celie.

    We also know that even the best healthcare leaves gaps. If you’re struggling with side effects, managing your treatments, or general illness quality-of-life stuff, Celie is for you too.

  • Celie goes beyond symptom tracking. We use data from the rest of Celie’s user base to give you brand new insights that you wouldn’t be able to get from your symptoms alone. You also get the opportunity to match with and talk to other people struggling with the same symptoms, and read treatment reviews and health news prioritised by relevance. And as if that’s not enough, by telling Celie about your symptoms you are helping drive the next generation of health research.

  • Celie can only make suggestions based on patterns she observes in your data, and you will still need to work with your doctor to pinpoint a diagnosis. But if your doctor is at a loss, Celie can help you advocate for yourself by showing you diagnoses and treatments that helped other people with symptoms like yours.

  • Even once you’re diagnosed, there can be a lot of decisions to make. We know that every patient is unique, that diagnostic categories can be big and blurry, and that the experiences of two people with the same diagnosis can vary a lot.

    Celie shows you information from people whose experience is most similar to yours to help you make more informed decisions about your health. Other patients are a goldmine of tips to maximise medication effectiveness and reduce side effects, and Celie leverages this with smart recommendations to help you thrive while in treatment.

  • Just register today for a free account. Celie will conduct a short interview about your symptoms, and then you can get exploring straight away.

  • Celie’s job is to build a complex map of connections between patients and to help them to work together to create a better understanding of chronic illness. The name was inspired by mycelial networks, an amazing natural phenomenon that connects trees and allows them to share information and resources so that the whole group can flourish.
