About this app

Pain can be all encompassing, but you can take control. If you’re living with chronic pain, Vim, from the Arthritis Foundation, can help. Do you miss doing the things that gave you joy? Through personalized mindfulness activities, exercises, diet recommendations, sleep tools, treatment optimization and more, Vim will help you take back the things pain has taken away. And the best part: You don’t have to do it alone. The Vim community is here to support you along the way.

If you live with lower back pain, neck pain, knee pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus or more, Vim’s mission is to help you find a way to best self-manage your challenges.

Whether you currently have an arthritis.org account (where we provide seamless, single sign-on), or you’re new to the community, Vim is available for everyone.

This easy-to-use app offers:

Pain Tracking
Create your own personalized journey by updating your arthritis profile with your specific pain type or condition. You can record changes in your pain level, treatments, mood, sleep patterns, accomplishments, challenges, goals and more. This app also integrates with Apple HealthKit and FitBit, so you can seamlessly gain insights on how your pain impacts your movement and heart rate.

Set the privacy levels and share as much or as little as you want. You can now have this information ready to go at appointments with your health care team.



Rewards for Wins, Big and Small
Set goals and celebrate your accomplishments. Vim regularly recognizes your daily efforts! You can set targeted 6-week goals and work toward achieving them. The more you keep track of your progress and support others along the way, the more rewards you’ll earn.

Community Support
Share your story and connect with others who are affected by the type of pain or condition you’re living with. Offer support and be supported. Vim includes thousands of patients who can relate to what you’re going through. Finding and interacting with others can lessen your suffering.


Educational Content
