Five questions, answered.
Is Runchart a medical device?
No. Runchart is a documentation tool. The runner runs; Runchart documents; the clinician interprets. Operates under FDA General Wellness guidance (2019).
Who is Runchart for? Do walks count?
Walks count exactly the same as runs. Runchart is for anyone whose activity needs to land on a chart — the postpartum mother on her first cleared walk, the runner with Parkinson’s between intervals, the workers’-comp employee on their return-to-work loop, the endurance athlete on Sunday’s long run. The document treats them all the same.
Why PDF/A-3 and RFC 3161?
Because the chart already knows them. PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3) is the archival document format government and clinical records use. RFC 3161 is the IETF timestamp protocol notarization already uses. Together they produce a record that survives a decade of filing.
What devices does Runchart pair with?
Apple Watch, Garmin, Stryd for activity capture. CGMs (Dexcom, Libre) for context where relevant. Receive-only on all integrations.
Where does my data live?
Yours, always. Runchart exports everything in PDF/A-3 and CSV. Data is never sold, licensed, or shared without written consent. See the privacy notice.
