Thanks so much for sharing your story. And thank you very much for signing up. You are awesome!

I'm sorry that you had to go through 18 months of struggle before the diagnosis. But glad that you have found a way to get into remission. That is fantastic!

Your learning algorithm sounds great! Would love to chat and learn more. Will absolutely reach out.

We are building a pattern recognition algorithm ourselves, that will accumulate data from your health reports (doctors visits, screenings, tests etc.) and help identify causes/issues/patterns, that will help you prevent flare-ups and keep the disease in remission.

I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. After 2 years of debilitating pain, agony, and misdiagnosis by some of the best GI doctors in the US, my small intestine gave up and ruptured. I had to go through a small bowel resection and get a foot of my small intestine removed. My weight dropped to 119 lbs (and I'm 6 feet tall). I survived.

Since then (and prior), it's been a struggle juggling between doctors, handling meds (ordering and injecting/IV), checking disease activity, and several other things.

No one, nobody, has to go through this suffering.

I am building Gut.ai, an AI powered personal assistant to help Crohn's and Colitis patients to better manage the disease. Gut.ai's mission is to keep you in remission, until we find a cure.

To start with, Gut.ai will schedule appointments and order meds (incl. refrigerated meds like Humira Pens) for you.
