Yarn gives you a space to be honest about your health — without forms, checkboxes, or time pressure. Over time, it builds a clear picture of your experience that you can actually use: to reflect, to track progress, and to walk into appointments knowing your doctor will understand what you've been going through.
Yarn is built exclusively for health. Every conversation is focused on you and your condition, your history is remembered across every session, and your experience is captured without being reframed or interpreted. It's not a general-purpose tool — it's a health companion with a single job to do.
Yarn reads your conversations for what's significant, what's changed, and what keeps coming up — without you having to flag it yourself. It understands language in context and connects the dots across your conversations over time to build a coherent, honest picture of your health.
No. Yarn listens and captures — it never interprets or diagnoses. That's intentional. Yarn exists to give medical professionals a true, unfiltered picture of your experience, so they can make better decisions. The expertise stays with your doctor.
Well, in our experience. Yarn has been built in close collaboration with both patients and clinicians to make sure the output is genuinely useful in a consultation — not just another thing to skim. Doctors we've worked with have found it helps them get up to speed faster and have richer conversations with their patients.
Daily is ideal, but whenever feels right. Users who get the most out of Yarn tend to check in regularly — even briefly — so their health story builds naturally over time rather than relying on memory before an appointment.
No — anyone can use Yarn. That said, it's been designed specifically for people managing chronic or long-term conditions, so that's where it tends to deliver the most value.
Absolutely. Carers are welcome to be fully involved — from setting up Yarn during onboarding, to helping shape how it understands the person they're looking after. The more context Yarn has from the start, the better it works. Day-to-day, Yarn works best when the person being cared for is the one logging — but a carer being present, involved, and informed is very much part of how Yarn is designed to be used.
Not yet, but it's on the roadmap. Wearables and tracking devices can add valuable quantitative context to your health story, and we're working on bringing that data into Yarn in a meaningful way.
Only if you choose to share them. You can upload existing records or grant Yarn access — but it works just as well starting from scratch.
Yes. Yarn currently supports voice input for those who find typing difficult, with more features on the way — including a colour accessibility toggle and audio output. If there's something specific that would help you, let us know at hello@yarn.health.
Securely, in an encrypted cloud database. Only you can access your information.
Your data is yours. Right now it's used only to power your experience on Yarn. Looking ahead, we're exploring partnerships with leading research bodies — including NIHR, HDR UK, and the NHS Health Research Authority — to help connect users to relevant clinical trials. You will always be asked before anything changes.
Nothing changes. Your health history stays intact, and you can return and pick up where you left off whenever you're ready. No pressure, no penalties.
There's a free tier, and it's genuinely useful. Paid plans exist because running the AI that powers Yarn — the models that listen, extract, and summarise — has real costs. Keeping those models accurate and up to date is what makes Yarn worth using. Paid plans unlock the full power of Yarn — longer history, richer summaries, and a more complete picture of your health over time. The people who get the most out of Yarn are the ones who can look back months, not days.
