Throughline Spine Injury Manager
This is a Claude harness for managing spine injuries.
Core trick
Fits a personal model on wearable, calendar, and clinical survey data to forecast symptom flare-ups, then sends proactive check-in messages.
Description
This is a Claude harness for managing spine injuries. People with spine injuries are always at risk of having flare ups which can throw your life upside down. These flare ups are mostly caused by lifestyle factors and this harness helps prevent the user from triggering an incident. The ability to do this is based on my own and public data - years of data from Apple Healthkit, Whoop, my calendar, clinical surveys (Oswestry Disability Index). Through this data Claude Opus built a model on how to provide early warning of worsening symptoms for the user. Claude proactively engages the user through Telegram pings or Claude Code Routines to promote adherence. My goal here is to make the lives of 600 million people with chronic spine injuries better.

A week later I collapsed in the street from a spine-injury flare — three months of severe sciatica, chronic pain, stuck on my bedroom floor. A year on I've recovered 99%, but the injury remains. Obsessing about avoiding the next flare is no way to live. So I built a harness around Claude Opus to manage it — for people with spine injuries. When you're in a severe flare, you live and die by the recovery chart. Throughline **fills that chart in for you** — passively, from the phone already in your pocket — and **Opus narrates which way you're heading, honestly.** ## The moat: Opus as scientist, skeptic, *and* companion Anyone can fit a line to data. The hard part — and the reason this is built around Opus — is **proving the signal is
