Neura

the patient app

A voice first companion. Patients log migraines, medication and triggers by talking for two minutes a day and walk into the doctor with a report.

My roleOwned it end to end with one engineer: spec, conversation design, voice AI, QA and the store release.

App Store
Real App Store screens: talking to Neura, the head map, and early trigger signals. Demo persona.

The challenge

Headache diaries get abandoned within weeks; real world completion is around 39%. Visits run on memory.

What shipped

A realtime voice agent with tools for attacks, medication and diaries, insights with the quotes behind them, a clinician report, and consent first data handling.

What moved

Live on the App Store since 3 Sep 2026, built by two people, after clearing one store rejection

A

The voice flow

Consent, a two minute conversation, a tap on the head map, and a report the doctor can use.

  1. 01

    The whole loop in five screens

    Meet Neura, talk instead of typing, show where it hurts, see the pattern forming, and take a report to the doctor.

    The voice flow, start to finish. Real App Store screens, demo persona.
  2. 02

    Meet Neura, consent first

    Consent is versioned and blocking. Anyone who declines AI still gets a plain questionnaire.

    Hello, I am Neura.
    Your data stays yours.
  3. 03

    Talk, do not type

    Tap to talk, hold to talk, or type. Neura asks themed questions and captures answers quietly.

    Home, built around the daily check in.
  4. 04

    Show where it hurts

    Tap every area on the head map, front or back. Neura asks about intensity and triggers in the same conversation, so a full record takes under a minute.

    The head map: right temple and behind the right eye.
    Intensity.
    Early signals, phrased as signals.

    Medication and insights

    Neura reads the medication cabinet and builds patterns from the patient's own logs.

  6. 06

    A report for the doctor

    A clinician ready summary, plus gentle nudges and a recap that keep the habit going.

How it was evaluated

  • Scripted beta scenarios with partner clinic staff; 21 issues tracked to closure
  • Clinical and compliance review before the beta
  • App Store review as an external gate: one rejection, fixed, then approved
6 / 6beta testers missed hands free mode; fixed before launchCompany reported · Beta tracker, Jul 2026

Retention, diary completion and insight accuracy are not measured yet, so they are not claimed.

How it changed

  1. Apr to May 2026Insights, demo mode, guided tourDemos had to run without a backend
  2. JulHands free made visible; softer insight wordingEvery tester missed it; insights over claimed
  3. AugAI behind explicit consent, questionnaire fallbackApp Store rejection
  4. 3 SepPublic release

Technical choices

  • Realtime speech to speech over WebRTC with a tool registry
  • React Native and Expo, consent versioned on the server, personal data masked and audit logged

What I learned

  • Voice first needs discoverability work.
  • Consent is product design, not legal copy.
  • Insights must under claim.
