Learn About Symptoms

After entering in symptoms (i.e. heartburn, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, bowel incontinence), users can find more information about those symptoms including definitions, causes, management, and more. There are short videos about each topic with graphics and narration so that users can learn and retain the important customized information.

Tracking

Users can track their symptoms by entering them into the app. Once entered, users can note the severity of the symptoms, how often they recur, and more to ensure accuracy. The app then uses the data to show progress and even compares that data to other patients so users can know what is common.

Find Treatment

The app is not just a symptom tracker – it also features many treatment options that can be helpful for patients. Based on a user’s symptoms, the app will show FDA-approved medications that can help relieve those symptoms.
