Introducing Guava: A Personalized Chronic Illness Management App


Listen Later

Living with a chronic health condition is difficult enough, but managing health records, medications and symptom tracking can feel impossible. That’s what the folks at Guava are trying to fix. They have created a free centralized holistic health management tool that integrates with over 50,000 health organizations across the US (including MyChart), top fitness/medical devices and even local weather to bring you personalized insights into your health. Guava allows you to effortlessly track symptoms, mood, medication and activities, pulling data from your hospital records and lab tests for an integrated picture of your health. It features an AI enabled visit prep experience to help you prepare for doctors visits. You can even track your medication, hydration and more with Guava tags. Stick a tag to anything you want to track and tap your phone for instant logging.

In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, we learn about Guava from Isabel Stewart (Head of Product) and Emily von Weise (Head of Marketing). Emily also shares her chronic illness journey with us, and how her experiences have impacted the development of Guava. She lives with the classic trifecta of EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) along with celiac disease and several tick-borne illnesses. She talks us through the frustrating diagnostic process, where she had to quit working and focus solely on her health. Living through years of medical gaslighting makes her work with Guava feel deeply impactful, allowing her to make life easier for individuals within the chronic illness community.
