How Arogo works

No ads. No data sale. No made-up numbers.

Arogo helps you take your medicines on time and share the essentials with people who care about you. It only works if you can trust it — so here, in plain words, is exactly what we do with your data and what every number in the app actually means.

Our promises

The things we will not do — not now, not for a quick buck later.

🚫

No advertising

There are no ads in Arogo and there never will be. Nothing on your screen is there because someone paid to put it there.

🔒

We don't sell or share your data

Your medicines, vitals, meals and everything else are never sold, rented, or handed to advertisers, data brokers, insurers, or employers. Family members see only what you switch on, category by category.

✍️

Every number comes from you

Arogo never invents a health figure to fill a gap. If you didn't log it, we don't show a number for it — we say "not logged". We'd rather show less than show something made up.

📤

Your data is yours to take or delete

You can export everything you've ever logged as a file, any time, and permanently delete your account and all its data whenever you want. No emails to support, no waiting.

🩺

We're honest about what we don't know

Arogo is a tracker, not a doctor. It flags a reading that's outside a general reference range, but it never diagnoses, and it won't call a trend "worse" off a single bad night. When something can't be sent (like an email), we say so instead of pretending it went out.

What every number means

Plain-English definitions, and where each number comes from.

Doses taken / adherence
The share of your scheduled doses you marked as taken over a period. From your own "mark as taken" taps — nothing is assumed taken.
Streak
How many days in a row you've kept up with your doses. A grace day or two keeps one slip from wiping out weeks of effort. From your dose history.
Water / hydration
How much you've had today against a daily goal. The goal is a rough estimate based on your body weight — a target to aim near, not a medical prescription. From what you log, plus drinks you record.
Calories & daily target
Your target is an estimate of the energy you use in a day, worked out from your height, weight, age and sex with a standard formula. Real bodies vary — treat it as a ballpark. Calories in come from the foods you log against a verified database.
BMI
Weight divided by height squared — a quick screening ratio, not a diagnosis and not a measure of health on its own. From the height and weight you entered.
Blood pressure, sugar, oxygen, temperature
Exactly the numbers you typed in. When a reading sits outside a general reference range, Arogo flags it so you notice — that's a nudge to check with a professional, never a diagnosis. From your own entries.
Sleep
How long you slept, from the bedtime and wake time (or the duration) you logged. From your entries.
Weight & trend
Each point on the line is a weight you recorded. The trend is simply those points over time — no smoothing that invents values you never measured. From your entries.
Mood
Your own daily check-in. It's there to help you notice patterns, nothing more. From your entries.
Adherence forecast & goal
If you keep taking doses at your recent pace, this is roughly where your month would land against the goal you set. It's a simple projection of your own recent rate — not a promise, and it moves as you do. From this month's dose history.
Reminder responsiveness
How soon after a dose is due you tend to mark it taken — early, on time, or late. Doses logged much later (a next-day backfill) and as-needed medicines are left out so they don't skew the picture. From the gap between each dose's scheduled time and when you tapped "taken".
Sleep debt & bedtime consistency
Debt is how far your logged sleep fell short of your own target, added up over recent nights. Consistency looks at how much your bedtime wanders. Both are descriptions of what you logged — not a verdict on your health. From your sleep entries and the target you chose.
BP & resting-heart-rate category
A label (e.g. "elevated") placed on a reading using published general reference bands. It helps you read your own number — it is not a diagnosis, and one reading isn't a trend. From the reading you entered, compared to standard ranges.
Exercise heart-rate zones
Rough training bands worked out from an age-based estimate of your maximum heart rate. Estimated max varies a lot between people, so treat the zones as a guide. From your age (and resting HR if you've logged it).
Trend & anomaly flags
When a fresh reading sits well outside your own recent range, Arogo marks it so you notice. It's a "look at this", drawn from your past entries — never a diagnosis. From your own history for that metric.
Medicine run-out & refill date
Your entered pill count divided by how many you take a day, to estimate when you'll run low. As-needed medicines have no fixed rate, so Arogo won't guess a date for them. From the stock count and schedule you entered.
Correlations between two metrics
Shows whether two things you track tend to move together (say, sleep and mood). Moving together is not proof one causes the other, and short histories can show patterns that are just chance — so it's a prompt to look closer, nothing more. From your own logged pairs of readings.

Where your data lives

The short, honest version.

👤

On your account, kept apart from everyone else's

Your data is tied to your account. Another user — even in your family group — can't reach it unless you've turned on sharing for that specific category.

👪

Family sharing is opt-in, one switch at a time

You choose what a family member can see (sleep, vitals, medicines, meals, symptoms, emergency card) and can turn any of it off at any moment. Missed-dose alerts to family only fire if you switch them on, and you're always told when one goes out.

Reported problems have a home

If a security researcher finds a flaw, there's a published contact and a real process for handling it — see our security policy below.

Signed-in users can export all their data or delete their account at any time from Settings. Arogo is a personal health tracker and does not provide medical advice — for decisions about your care, talk to a qualified professional.
