About Us

About the founder: Born from lived experience

I’m Yasmin, the Founder and CEO of My Chronic Pain Atlas. I have lived with unexplained pain for a large part of my life. A few years ago, my life was turned upside down by the onset of Trigeminal Neuralgia, “the Suicide Disease,” Lupus, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, widespread neuropathic pain, and the rest… I went from a driven full-time Lawyer, to someone measuring life in flare-ups, appointments and waiting rooms, along with having far too many conversations where I felt dismissed or not believed.

Why was My Chronic Pain Atlas created?

I started sketching out what I wished I’d had sooner: a simpler way to show exactly where my fluctuating pain was and how my pain really felt; which led me to developing a tool to easily notice patterns over time, and a means to easily connect with other people who actually understood me and my experience. Those scribbles have grown into My Chronic Pain Atlas, a community-driven app designed for people with chronic pain and long-term conditions, built from real life experience rather than theory.

Our mission

Simple. We’re here to make it easier for you to communicate your pain, feel validated, and discover ideas that might help, without toxic positivity or miracle-cure promises.

Designed for Life With Ongoing Pain

We’re building a new way of managing chronic conditions, one that recognises that life with ongoing symptoms doesn’t fit neatly into short GP appointments. My Chronic Pain Atlas brings together everything that usually feels all over the place: your day-to-day experiences, the things that might make you better or worse, and the wisdom of people who truly “get it.”

Instead of forcing you to fit into a generic health app, we’re designing a space that adapts to real lives: your personal flare days, good days, and everything in between. You’ll be able to reflect on what’s happening in your body, feel supported by others on similar journeys, and use those insights to make more confident choices about your care.

Right now, we’re inviting a small group of 200 founding members to help shape this new approach from the ground up.
