The Challenge

Many gout patients struggle to identify what triggers their painful flare-ups. Traditional paper logs are tedious and rarely reveal long-term patterns. Gout Guru was designed to bridge this gap with a frictionless tracking experience.

The Solution

I built an iOS app that keeps tracking simple and turns logs into clarity. Users record daily habits, medications, flare-ups, and uric acid levels, then review trends over weeks and months to better understand what’s working.

What it includes

• Rapid daily check-ins: A short set of yes/no questions that reduces friction.
• Flare logger: Track joints affected, pain level (1–10), and notes.
• Uric acid tracking: Log values in mg/dL or µmol/L and see trends over time.
• Trends dashboard: Simple visuals that help connect habits to flare patterns.
• Reminders: Custom notifications to stay consistent.
