Worth knowing

This app is an informational resource, not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis or treatment and never replaces advice from qualified clinicians. In an emergency, contact emergency services.

What EDS Help UK is

EDS & Hypermobility Help UK gathers reliable, source-linked information about Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders into one calm, offline-friendly app. A body map organises information by joint and symptom area; appointment-preparation templates help you make the most of limited consultation time; and note types built for EDS realities — subluxations, flares, fatigue — keep your own record straight. Content links to its sources and a What's New system tracks updates. It is an informational resource built on the shared Health Guide engine — it does not diagnose, treat or replace medical advice.

  • Body map organised by joint and symptom area

Information that respects your energy
