Recalibration is VertigoMe re-learning what matters for you, now that it knows you better than it did at the start.
This article is an explanation. There are no steps to follow.
The short version
When you started, VertigoMe made educated guesses about your triggers and risk. They were based on general patterns plus the answers you gave during setup.
Over time the app gathers more from you: the spins you log, your medicines and prodromes, your sleep and wearable data, the weather, your food. Once a week, if you have Premium or are in your free trial, VertigoMe re-reads your spin history, medicine log, prodromes and how accurate the risk gauge has been. It asks:
- Were the first guesses right for this person?
- Are there better numbers to use now?
- Are there patterns it missed?
That is recalibration.
What it can change
A recalibration can suggest:
- Trigger and prodrome adjustments: how much a trigger or warning sign should weigh on your risk.
- Favourites for medicines, reliefs, symptoms, activities and missed activities, based on what you actually use.
- Gauge thresholds: the scores at which the gauge turns green, amber or red.
- Decay curves: how quickly the risk from a past trigger fades.
- Your clinical profile: the written summary on your Profile screen.
- Data warnings, for example when a data source has gone quiet.
- New goals drawn from your own data.
Your answers stay yours
The weekly check never changes the answers you gave in setup. Only you can change those, from Profile, What this is based on, or with Redo Onboarding.
A safety rule
VertigoMe never lowers the severity of a trigger or prodrome you have already taught it about. If a suggestion would do that, it is marked and skipped when you apply.
You always have the final say
Nothing changes on its own. When suggestions are ready you get a notification and a banner on the Home screen. You review each suggestion and choose what to keep. Nothing is applied until you tap the apply button.
When it happens
The check runs every Monday. Many weeks it finds nothing meaningful and stays quiet. That is normal. Suggestions come when your data has genuinely shifted, for example after you connect a new wearable or log several new spins.
