Overview

Gut-Buddy is a clinician-designed digital health platform focused on managing IBS and chronic gut conditions through a combination of medical care, behavioural therapy, diet management, and lifestyle interventions. Operating in a fast-growing digital health segment, the platform set out to solve a critical gap — the lack of continuous, personalised, accessible gut-health care. We built a scalable, AI-driven care ecosystem enabling personalised treatment journeys while reducing dependency on manual intervention.

The problem

The structural limitations

IBS and chronic gut patients face systemic care limitations.

  • 01

    Inconsistent treatment outcomes due to lack of personalisation

  • 02

    Low diet adherence caused by generic plans

  • 03

    High stress and anxiety, directly impacting gut health

  • 04

    No continuous monitoring between doctor consultations

  • 05

    Limited access to specialists and high therapy costs

Approach

How we solved it.

A four-layer system: AI-powered CBT therapy with NLP mood detection, intelligent diet automation, an adaptive yoga and lifestyle engine, and continuous monitoring with a clinical dashboard.

IBS and chronic gut patients faced inconsistent outcomes, generic diets, and no continuous monitoring. Stress correlates with gut health but wasn’t integrated into care.

What we built

The layers that make the change stick.

Intelligence and engineering applied where they drive measurable change.

  1. 01

    AI-Led Behavioural Therapy Engine

    An AI-powered CBT module delivering guided therapy through a conversational interface. NLP analyses user inputs in real time to detect stress, mood, and emotional patterns — providing coping mechanisms and behavioural interventions aligned to the user’s state. Therapy becomes continuous, not session-dependent.

  2. 02

    Intelligent Diet Automation Layer

    A diet engine that translates clinical prescriptions into adaptive, real-world meal plans — factoring in IBS type, allergies, cultural preferences, and past adherence. Users receive living, evolving plans rather than static charts.

  3. 03

    Adaptive Lifestyle & Yoga Integration

    An AI-driven lifestyle engine recommends yoga routines based on symptom severity and stress levels — sessions dynamically adjust intensity and focus, targeting digestion, gut mobility, and relaxation.

  4. 04

    Continuous Monitoring & Clinical Intelligence

    A real-time tracking system captures symptoms, meals, stress, sleep, and activity. AI models identify trigger correlations and flare-up patterns, feeding a centralised clinical dashboard that improves diagnosis accuracy and treatment planning.
