My Nutritional Health App Testing

Completed

Conditions studied: Gastrointestinal Irritation

In brief

The proposed My Nutritional Health (MNH) app is a unique tool for consumers interested in tracking their food intake and linking diet to symptoms. The investigators will test this app for developmental purposes among a sample of 100 participants who are patients of dietitians at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) and the University of Michigan (UM) with varying presentation of GI symptoms and suspected food intolerances. The MNH app built on the LifeData app will be used as a data collection platform for this study and can be utilized by iOS and Android smartphone devices. The investigators will use the data collected in the app testing to develop population-level FAST scores. The MNH app includes two integrated functions: 1. Patient Symptom and Food Consumption Reporting 2. FAST Score calculation It is important to note that, per this protocol, the MNH app will only be evaluated for developmental purposes. It is currently not meant to serve as a diagnostic tool, nor to provide referrals for patients with food and symptom patterns that may suggest a food intolerance. In this respect, our test app is not governed by FDA or other regulatory bodies, as it does not make diagnoses or offer specific guidance. The purpose of this study is only to develop normative scoring distributions of FAST within the context of patients visiting GI dietitians as part of routine care.
