UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ, September 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) WellApps, LLC announced today that it has expanded GI Monitor, its successful (IBD) Crohn's and Colitis symptom tracking application, to Android phones in response to patient demand. GI Monitor is a free symptom tracking service that allows patients to log IBD symptoms such as bowel movements, pain and stress and make correlations with medications and diet. Detailed reports and charts can be printed or emailed to physicians, resulting in optimal treatment. The service, which is free to patients, is now available for iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android and Blackberry and supports real-time sync across all platforms.
Inspired by an ongoing battle with Ulcerative Colitis, 35-year old Brett Shamosh, a digital media executive from Bergen County, NJ, decided to use the booming smartphone app market to help fellow IBD patients.

He adds, "WellApps enhances communication between patients, physicians and researchers to limit periods of disease activity, increase compliance with treatment regimens and significantly reduce healthcare spending."

Dan Reinhardt, President of Evidence Based Marketing firm Return on Focus, adds "GI Monitor offers patients and physicians access to an unprecedented level of real-world evidence about Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. Pharmaceutical marketers have a unique opportunity to help patients improve overall outcomes."
