01
Remembering what the plan says to do next.
How Vela helps
Today shows the next planned action and its time. Record it in one tap, or answer "not sure" or "couldn’t".
YOUR POTS PLAN, DAY BY DAY
Your POTS plan, one calm day at a time.
Vela keeps your care team’s POTS plan close: what’s next today, your saved drinks, how you feel, and your steps for when you feel faint or much worse.
On iPhone, Vela is part of Pippa Companions. Open it and pick Vela. On Android, get Soli: the same care, with a companion.
Vela
For people with POTS following a plan from their care team.
One tap for a saved drink
"Not sure" is a real answer
Low-energy day mode
No scores or streaks
POTS
A POTS plan works best when it fits into a real day.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome makes standing up hard on the body. Many POTS care plans ask people to drink more through the day, add salt or electrolytes, and notice what sets symptoms off, like heat, standing for a long time, a big meal or poor sleep. Keeping that record on a dizzy, foggy day is exactly when it is hardest.
02
Logging drinks all day is tedious.
How Vela helps
Save your usual drinks and mixes once, then record one with a tap. An undo appears right away.
03
Hard days make everything feel like too much.
How Vela helps
Low-energy day mode keeps only the essentials, in large buttons, until you switch back.
04
Feeling faint or much worse needs clear steps.
How Vela helps
One button opens your care team’s steps and contacts first, without typing anything.
05
Details are forgotten by the next visit.
How Vela helps
Your timeline and a visit summary keep what happened, as observations rather than conclusions.
Your fluid, salt and activity plan comes from your care team. Vela keeps it close; it never sets amounts.
HOW IT WORKS
Three small steps, all optional.
Connect to your program
Your care team’s plan appears in Vela. You can still note anything without one.
Record as you go
A saved drink, how you feel, or "not sure". Each takes a tap or two.
Bring it to your visit
Look back over your days and share what you choose.

Your POTS plan, day by day.
For people with POTS following a plan from their care team.
What’s next, not everything
Today shows the next thing on your plan and lets you record it in one tap.

No AI reads your notes
Vela has no AI chat and no AI food naming. You can delete your account and data at any time.
No ads, no selling data
We do not sell your data or show ads. Read exactly what we collect in our policies.
FAQ
Good questions.
Is there a separate Vela app for iPhone?
No. On iPhone, Vela is a program inside Pippa Companions. Download Pippa Companions, open it and pick Vela. Vela isn’t on Android yet. On Android, Soli covers the same care, with a companion.
Does Vela set fluid or salt targets?
No. Vela does not set fluid or sodium targets, diagnose POTS, predict fainting, or monitor heart rate. Any plan values come from your care program.
Does my care team see everything?
Only once you connect to a participating program with a code or invite. After that they can see what you note in the app, and you can stop sharing at any time. Nothing is watched in real time.
Is this an emergency service?
No. The app does not monitor your notes in real time. If you need urgent help, call 911 or your local emergency number.
What does it cost?
The app is free to download. Noting, asking for help, your care team and your history never depend on a payment.
