GERDragon - Reflux Tracker

Clinical diary designed for adults managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic heartburn that uses on-device machine learning to predict flare ups.

GERDragon is a clinical diary designed for adults managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic heartburn. This medical tracking tool helps you record symptoms, identify trigger foods, and monitor medication effectiveness through systematic logging and pattern analysis.

COMPREHENSIVE SYMPTOM TRACKING Record heartburn episodes with severity levels, duration, and custom notes. Track additional GERD symptoms including nausea, coughing, and regurgitation. Document the circumstances surrounding each episode to build a complete clinical picture for discussion with your GP or consultant.

FOOD AND TRIGGER IDENTIFICATION Log meals, beverages, and timing to identify personal trigger foods. Record meal sizes, food categories (spicy, acidic, fatty), caffeine intake, and alcohol consumption. Track eating patterns such as late meals and proximity to bedtime. The app provides statistical analysis to help recognise correlations between diet and symptoms.

MEDICATION MONITORING Document all GERD medications including PPIs, H2 blockers, and antacids. Record dosage, timing, and your personal assessment of effectiveness. Track which medications provide relief and which do not, creating a practical record for medical consultations.

STRESS AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS Monitor stress levels and their potential impact on reflux symptoms. Record stress sources and intensity to understand psychological triggers alongside dietary factors.

INTELLIGENT REMINDERS Receive timely notifications to check on symptom progression after logging episodes. Get gentle prompts to assess potential heartburn following meals. These optional reminders help maintain consistent tracking without being intrusive.

ANALYTICS AND PATTERN RECOGNITION View visualisations of symptom frequency, severity trends, and trigger correlations. Analyse medication effectiveness rates and identify patterns over time. The analytics provide statistical interpretations based solely on your recorded data, not clinical recommendations.

PDF EXPORT Export your diary with detailed information into a beautiful PDF to share with your mediacal care professional.
