For gastroenterology practices
DarmKompass in your waiting room — free, GDPR-compliant
Structured self-observation instead of vague descriptions. Patients keep a 7-day symptom diary and arrive at the appointment with a printable PDF report.
What practices get out of it
Three tangible effects for the consultation
Structured history before the appointment
Instead of notes on napkins, patients arrive with Bristol scale, FODMAP tracking and stress correlations — consultation time can focus on the clinical.
No software integration required
No PVS connector, no API, no IT appointment. You simply hang up the handout. Patients scan the QR code and track on their own device.
GDPR-compliant from a practice liability standpoint
Data is stored exclusively in the EU (Frankfurt). No tracking, no advertising. You merely refer to an external self-observation app — no DPA required.
Four typical consultation situations
Where DarmKompass concretely relieves practice work
First visit with unclear abdominal complaints
Patients often describe diffusely: "problems for months". A 7-day diary before the appointment provides Bristol distribution, pain patterns and trigger suspicions.
The appointment starts at evaluation, not at data collection.
Accompanying the low-FODMAP phase
During elimination and reexposition phases, DarmKompass logs meals, symptoms and severity scores — without patients having to keep a paper food diary.
The follow-up becomes a structured progress review.
Structured 4-week follow-up
Instead of memory gaps, you have a continuous diary: IBS-SSS trajectory, top triggers and Bristol stool diary — all on one page.
"How have you been since last time?" becomes answerable.
Prescription renewal with progress documentation
For chronic IBS, DarmKompass documents progress objectively and verifiably — as a reference for follow-up prescriptions or therapy adjustments.
The chart finally contains data that isn't reconstructed from memory.
What patients get
The tools you hand off to the consultation
Printable PDF report
One page, clinically readable: master data, Bristol distribution, mean pain, top triggers, IBS-SSS score. Patients bring it printed or by email.
Bristol Stool Form Scale (1–7)
Patients classify each bowel movement by Bristol type. The 7-day distribution shows transit tendency (slow vs. fast) at a glance.
FODMAP tracking by Monash categories
Meals are tagged by FODMAP category (oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, polyols). Substantially eases phase-1 / phase-2 guidance.
Trigger detection via correlation heatmap
Deterministic correlation analysis — no ML black box. Shows which food / stress clusters precede symptoms over time.
IBS-SSS score per Francis et al. 1997
The validated severity score is updated weekly. Trajectory over 4–12 weeks visible — useful for assessing the efficacy of interventions.
Practice handout for posting
One A4 page. No logo dispute. No printer drama.
We designed the handout so it goes onto the waiting-room pinboard without practice branding or layout adjustments. One page, monochrome-printable, with a QR code to the free 7-day template.

Patient pathway
Three steps from waiting room to consultation
Scan QR code or print template
Patients scan the QR code on the handout — or print the free template as a paper diary.
Track for 3+ days
Symptoms, stool type (Bristol), meals and triggers are logged daily. The app suggests recommended tracking windows.
Bring PDF report to the appointment
One clinically-readable page — printed, by email or shown directly on smartphone during the consultation.
