GIMS

Overview: Problem and Solution

About 70,000,000 people suffer from digestive issues everyday. We wanted to create an application that would help these indivduals gain a better understanding of their illness in order to better control it.

Track Trigger Food

With GIMS, users can track their dietary behavior and other lifestyle choices that can potentially trigger their symptoms.

Engage in Community

In GIMS, users can easily socialize with other GI patients who are having similar issues and learn from them (or vice versa) while sharing their common experiences.

View Overall Trends

The GIMS application stores a lot of personal informatics data that is processed for trend analysis and as an end result, positively benefits the users.
