The best way to track Ankylosing Spondylitis is to separate symptoms by domain, log what changed when it happened, and connect each entry to triggers, treatment, and daily impact. Juno turns low-effort voice or text check-ins into a timeline your rheumatologist can review. Symptom timing Possible triggers Treatment response Appointment questions ### What should your AS symptom tracker record? A strong Ankylosing Spondylitis tracker records separate symptom domains, timing, triggers, treatment context, and functional impact. For Ankylosing Spondylitis, the most useful entries are inflammatory back pain (location, intensity), morning stiffness duration (minutes), fatigue, peripheral joint involvement, eye symptoms (uveitis flares). ### How does tracking Ankylosing Spondylitis help at appointments? Tracking gives your rheumatologist a cleaner timeline than memory can provide. It turns scattered day-to-day notes into onset, duration, recovery, possible triggers, medication context, and the questions you need answered. ### When should new Ankylosing Spondylitis symptoms be escalated? New, sudden, severe, or worsening symptoms should be shared with your clinical team promptly, especially when they affect daily safety, function, medication response, or a body system your care team is already monitoring. Juno helps you record what changed, but your clinician decides what needs urgent care. ### What should you log? - Inflammatory back pain (location, intensity) - Morning stiffness duration (minutes) - Fatigue - Peripheral joint involvement - Eye symptoms (uveitis flares) - Activity tolerance - Biologic / DMARD adherence and side effects - Sleep quality (waking from pain) ### What patterns matter? - Morning stiffness duration shifting up or down across weeks - Activity-induced relief vs rest-induced stiffness - Flare clusters in the months before a biologic switch - Uveitis episodes alongside spinal pain spikes ### What should you bring? - Morning stiffness duration trend with daily values - Pain map across spine, SI joints, and peripheral joints - Biologic / DMARD adherence and side-effect log - Functional impact on work, sleep, and exercise - Specific questions for your rheumatologist Tracker comparison ## What makes Juno different from a generic tracker? Generic trackers often flatten complex symptoms into one daily score. Juno keeps the details separate enough for pattern recognition and clear enough for appointments. | Need | Generic tracker | Juno | | --- | --- | --- | | Inflammatory pain pattern | One pain score, no posture or rest context | Pain logged with rest vs activity context, the AS-defining axis | | Morning stiffness clock | Yes/no checkbox | Duration in minutes — a clinical disease-activity signal | | Biologic response | A list of medications | Doses logged with timing, side effects, and disease-activity trend | | Multi-system flares | Spine only | Spine, eye, gut, and skin tracked together | | Rheumatology prep | Recall in the appointment | Page summary timed to the visit | Key benefits ## Four ways Juno makes life with AS a little easier. ### Spot Ankylosing Spondylitis flare patterns sooner Track shifts in inflammatory back pain (location, intensity), morning stiffness duration (minutes), fatigue, peripheral joint involvement before they blur together by the next appointment. ### Track symptoms automatically Tell Juno what happened in plain language and it turns that into a clear symptom timeline without extra admin. ### Protect your energy See what tends to push you past baseline so you can pace the week with less guesswork around ankylosing spondylitis. ### Show up prepared Turn daily notes, symptom changes, and context into something your rheumatologist can actually use. Features ## Built for the everyday reality of managing AS. Juno is designed to take some of the admin load off with calmer check-ins, clearer pattern tracking, and support that stays useful between appointments. Flare support ### Manage flares Keep one calm place for what changed, what felt worse, and what might have triggered it so ankylosing spondylitis flare days do not blur together.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, often causing inflammatory back pain (worse at rest, better with movement) and prolonged morning stiffness. It is part of the broader axial spondyloarthritis spectrum. ### Why track morning stiffness duration? Stiffness duration is one of the more reliable day-to-day disease-activity signals in axial spondyloarthritis. Consistent tracking gives a far better picture than a single recall at a six-month appointment. ### Can Juno track biologic response? Yes — doses are logged with timing, side effects, and tracked alongside symptom data so the response (and any waning effect before the next dose) is visible. ### Should I tell Juno about eye or gut symptoms? If they're relevant. AS frequently overlaps with uveitis and IBD; logging them in the same place keeps the picture coherent for your rheumatologist. ### Is my data private? Yes. Health data is not sold and you control what is shared.
