A platform for collecting health data on ME/CFS and Long Covid

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Solve Together is an observational platform designed to gather clinical data on post-infectious diseases, particularly Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long Covid. Participants aged 18 and older can create profiles, complete surveys about their medical history and symptoms, and use a mobile app to track their health. The collected data will be anonymized and made available to researchers to enhance understanding of these conditions and support future clinical studies. This initiative aims to foster collaboration among patients, healthcare providers, and researchers.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Participants may be either self-diagnosed, or diagnosed by a physician with the following conditions:

* Infection-associated chronic conditions such as Long COVID, chronic Lyme, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and post-acute neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS/PANDAS).
* Neuroimmune, developmental, autonomic, and neurological conditions like migraines, dysautonomia, POTS, multiple sclerosis, and autism spectrum disorder.
* Autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Sjogren's Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, ankylosing spondylitis, and related autoimmune conditions.

Inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions such as Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease, and ulcerative colitis.

* Behavioral and mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, OCD, and other related conditions.
* "Healthy" people (without brain inflammation), including unaffected individuals, unaffected individuals in the same household, and unaffected individuals who are married to relatives and family members.
* Have consistent internet access and a cell phone, tablet, or PC since this is an online or app-based platform that requires entering data and completing surveys.
* Currently live in the United States
* Be able to participate in English (stay tuned for updates about the Spanish language version)
* Be willing to share symptom and health data through the platform
