The parts nobody else sees
GERD is invisible work: planning dinner around bedtime, nights when a burning throat wakes you, and a visit where you try to remember which weeks were bad. Healya is built by people who know what that load feels like.
Heartburn often gets worse when you lie down, so many people stop eating a few hours before bed.
Reflux can wake you at night with a burning throat or a sour taste in your mouth.
Heartburn can come and go for weeks, so at a visit it is hard to say how often it happened.
Your numbers already tell a story
Healya connects your heartburn days, heartburn score, rescue doses, night reflux, meals, medicines and what changed that day so the story is visible, to you and to your gastroenterologist.
Your days with heartburn each month over a year, with the month your omeprazole went down to once a day marked. They sat between 2 and 4 a month for the nine months before it, then climbed every month from there: 6, then 9, then 13 this month, which is the thing to show your gastroenterologist rather than explain from memory.
Your heartburn score on heartburn days, 0 to 10, averaged each month over the same twelve months, with the month your omeprazole went down to once a day marked. It sat between 2 and 3 for nine months, rose to 4 the month of the change, held at 4, and reached 5 this month: more heartburn days, and worse ones.
Antacid rescue doses you logged each month over eight months as bars and as a line, with your last visit with Dr. Whitaker marked. They sat between 2 and 3 a month through that visit and the two months after it, then climbed every month to 11 now, on the same months your heartburn days climbed.
Newly diagnosed after an endoscopy, stepping down from an acid reducer, or years of heartburn kept quiet on daily medicine: your heartburn days are data, and Healya can track them.
How Healya helps with GERD
A record that counts the heartburn days for you
A thirty-second check-in, heartburn or not, with your heartburn score, any night reflux, the rescue doses taken and your medicines, taken or missed, so the month's heartburn days sit on one timeline you and your gastroenterologist can read instead of a memory of the worst week.
Heartburn next to what came before it
What you ate, when you ate it, when you went to bed, your sleep and what changed that day, logged next to each heartburn day, so a pattern has a record behind it and a cause stays a question for you and your gastroenterologist.
A message drafted when you do not want to wait
When a few months of climbing heartburn days are worth more than the wait until the next visit, Healya drafts a message to your gastroenterologist's office with the months behind it, for you to send. It never sends anything on its own.
A summary your gastroenterologist can scan
A year of heartburn days, heartburn scores, rescue doses, night reflux and your medicines on one page, with the questions you flagged along the way. Short visits go further when the story is already organized.
No wearable required. A thirty-second daily check-in is enough.
Reports written for GERD
Three kinds, each built from your own record. A summary before every gastroenterology visit. A report on how your months are actually going. And a plain-language digest of new GERD research, on a schedule you choose.
