What are Reports?
When starting a new pain medicine, you will want to check in regular intervals whether it actually relieves your pain symptoms.
Even without new medication it's important to regularly review changes and check whether and how recent diary events may have had an impact on pain symptoms.
On the recurring weekday start date of your latest medicine you will see a little red dot appearing in the row of four dots in the left upper Main View area (see image for next paragraph).
This indicates that it's time to review the weekly report.

A report has two sections.

- Change of average compared before the start of the report (green/red arrow)

- No. of diary events with >10% rating change 24h before compared to 24h after the event
- A plotted graph of your ratings
- Proportions in % of 'mild' = green ratings and 'severe' = red ratings, compared to the proportions form the time before the report

Symptom stats
What are Symptom Stats?
Symptoms Stats offer a summary and analytic overview for each symptom you track.
Other than a Report Symptom Stats take into account data from your entire diary, not just the last one or four weeks.
Open Symptoms Stats in Main View by tapping on the four dots in the left upper corner, and then the second button with a Chart icon.

Open Symptoms Stats in Main View by tapping on the four dots in the left upper corner, and then the second button with a Chart icon.
Symptom Stats have a List and a Details view.
At the top the initial List View (shown here in Dark Mode) shows your average rating for the untreated symptom.
Further down, it shows averages during the effect of medicines that treat this symptom.
These can be individual medicines (top part) of combinations of medicines in action together (bottom part).
Apart from average during effect time, Alogea calculates how each dose of a non-regular medicine changed symptom ratings from before to after.
For regular medicines Alogea calculates change of symptom average before starting the medicine compared to afterwards. If there are no ratings before the start, then it calculates the average during first week of treatment as reference to compare to.
Combined medicines in action together may have a different impact than single drugs; Alogea identifies all episodes when a given combination of medicines treating the same symptom were active together and calculates averages from all these episodes.
The average change is shown right of the vertical arrow, with a green arrow colour indicating a reduction of intensity (good) and a red arrow no reduction or an increase (bad).
Tap on one of the rows (untreated symptom or medicine) to see the Detail View.

Tap on one of the rows (untreated symptom or medicine) to see the Detail View.
At the top the Detail View shows several infos:
The three charts display information about
The symptom change after dose is calculated btw by comparing the average symptom rating during one hour before you took a dose, to the average of ratings during the effect time of this dose.
- Number of symptom ratings you have made during effect time of this medication
- 'Time span': the time since start of your diary
- the average change of rating from before to after doses
- minimum and maximum ratings during effect time
The three charts display information about
- The number of weekly (or monthly, if you have a more extensive diary) doses taken
- the number of weekly or monthly mild, moderate and severe ratings
- the weekly/ monthly symptom change after an individual dose, with a blue trend line to estimate effect stability.
The symptom change after dose is calculated btw by comparing the average symptom rating during one hour before you took a dose, to the average of ratings during the effect time of this dose.
