The Problem

People with chronic digestive disorders—especially IBS, IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), celiac disease, and GERD—face significant daily challenges managing symptoms that disrupt basic activities like eating, working, family time, and even starting their day. Restroom urgency, pain, and stress make consistent routines difficult. Lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and stress management are important, but medical professionals and existing health solutions like apps and therapy fall short in providing individualized health support, require tedious data entry and time-consuming check-ins, and regularly rely on broad assumptions rather than on individual symptoms. As a result, users are left feeling hopeless that their unique personal health complications are being addressed.

The Solution

Gutsy is designed as a personalized health management platform using an AI chat interface that is easy to communicate with, and focuses entirely on the user as an understanding and knowledgeable health companion. The app streamlines data entry to provide accurate tracking of health factors, and individualized feedback with discreet and simplified voice-, text-, and widget-based data logging for optimally efficient health management.
