The Problem

Your doctor asked you to keep a log.

You promised your GI you'd track your GERD flares. The notebook lasted a week. The spreadsheet lasted a day. By the next appointment, you remember three episodes of acid reflux — and one of them is wrong.

Generic symptom apps ask you to pick from forty body parts and type "heartburn" into a free-text field at 3am.

Reflux Body Log is one screen: a body. Tap where it hurts. Rate it 1 to 5. Tap every chip that might've set it off — late meal, spicy, caffeine, alcohol, stress. Done in under ten seconds.

Methodology. Patient self-reports via Reflux Body Log iOS app. Severity is a 5-step subjective scale (1 Barely · 2 Mild · 3 Moderate · 4 Strong · 5 Severe). Sleep, resting HR, and HRV are read from Apple Health (Apple Watch, source: HealthKit). Each logged flare is also written to Apple Health's heartburn category. Trigger tags are patient-selected; correlation is observational and not adjusted for confounders.

Apple Health, two ways

With your permission, the app reads three signals from Apple Health — sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate — to surface patterns alongside your flares. Each flare is also written back to Apple Health's built-in heartburn category, so your acid-reflux record stays with you, not with us.
