1. Core Purpose

Living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can feel unpredictable, especially when symptoms affect daily routines. Elfie’s IBS Program helps you keep track of your digestion, recognize patterns, and find practical support tools — so you can feel more in control and confident in your everyday life.

2. Key Functionalities

• Bowel Movement Tracking
  • Log bowel movements with the Bristol Stool Score for consistency and clarity.
  • Use Elfie’s camera AI tool for easy, automatic scoring — making tracking simple and accurate.
• Digestive Health Awareness
  • Track how symptoms relate to lifestyle factors such as food, hydration, stress, or sleep.
  • Build awareness of patterns that may affect your comfort.
• Toilet Locator
  • Quickly find nearby toilets when you’re out and about.
  • Helps reduce anxiety when planning trips or being in unfamiliar places.
• IBS Score
  • Receive a simple score based on your logs, helping you see how your comfort changes over time.
  • Track improvements or flare-ups week by week.
• Personalized Tips & Nudges
  • Get gentle reminders and practical suggestions, like staying hydrated, mindful eating, or stress-reducing activities.
  • Nudges are positive, supportive, and easy to follow.
• Gamified Motivation
  • Earn Elfie Coins for logging, scanning, and staying engaged with the program.
  • Coins can be redeemed for rewards or donated to meaningful causes.
• Education & Quizzes
  • Access easy lessons on digestion, food choices, and lifestyle habits.
  • Fun quizzes reinforce knowledge and build confidence in daily self-care.

3. Behavioral Design

• Awareness through tracking: Regular logs help users notice patterns without judgment.
• Positive reinforcement: Focuses on rewarding consistency, not “perfect” results.
• Practical support: Features like the toilet locator reduce stress in daily life.

4. Medical Integrity

• Developed with input from gastroenterologists and digestive health experts.
• Designed as a wellness companion, not a diagnostic or treatment tool.
• Compliant with strict data privacy standards (GDPR, HIPAA, PDPA, etc.).

5. Why It Stands Out

• Unique tools: Combines bowel movement tracking with AI support and a real-world toilet locator.
• Holistic: Connects digestion with lifestyle habits like food, sleep, stress, and hydration.
• Supportive: Provides practical tools to make daily life with IBS easier and more predictable.

✅ In short: Elfie’s IBS Program helps you track, learn, and feel supported by combining bowel movement tracking, AI scoring, a toilet locator, lifestyle insights, and rewards into one empowering daily companion.
