We Built the App That GLP-1 and Bariatric Patients Actually Need — Now We Need Your Help Testing It

Gastric IQ is entering beta on Android, and we’re looking for real users to shape what it becomes.

Life on GLP-1 medications — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound — is genuinely different. So is life after bariatric surgery. Generic health apps weren’t built for delayed gastric emptying, careful protein targets, or the fine timing that separates a comfortable day from a miserable one.

That’s why we built Gastric IQ.

It’s a companion app designed specifically for your health journey: real-time stomach fullness modeling, GLP-1 medication tracking, AI-powered meal recognition, and personalized insights that connect what you eat, when you inject, and how you feel — all in one place.

But before it’s ready for everyone, we need people who live this to put it to the test.

What Gastric IQ Does

Most weight loss apps count calories. Gastric IQ does something more nuanced: it helps you understand exactly how your stomach and medication work together.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the app:

  • Real-time stomach fullness tracking. Know exactly how full you are and get alerts before you overeat — no more guessing.
  • AI-powered meal recognition. Photograph your plate and automatically track protein content without manual logging.
  • GLP-1 medication tracking. Log your injections and see how they affect your digestion in real time.
  • Protein and hydration goals. Personalized daily targets built around your specific needs, not generic recommendations.
  • Smart notifications. Injection reminders, meal timing guidance, and safe eating window alerts so you’re always a step ahead.
  • Personalized health insights. AI-generated patterns that surface connections between your habits, your symptoms, and how you feel day to day.
  • Daily wellness check-ins. Track appetite, mood, energy, and sleep quality to monitor your full picture of progress.
  • Health data sync. Connects with Android health apps to automatically pull in weight and body composition changes.

Say goodbye to guesswork and uncomfortable side effects like nausea, heartburn, or feeling overly full.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a great fit for this beta if you:

  • Are currently taking a GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or similar)
  • Have had bariatric surgery — sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, adjustable band, or other
  • Are simply curious about GLP-1 health and want to explore what the app offers
  • Use an Android device with a Google Play account
  • Are willing to spend a few minutes sharing honest, candid feedback

You don’t need to be a tech expert. You just need to be someone who wants a better tool for this journey — and is willing to tell us what’s missing.

How to Join in 3 Steps

1. Enroll in the testing program. Head to the link below and tap “Become a tester.” You’ll need a Google account to sign up.

👉 **Join the Gastric IQ Beta on Google Play**

2. Download and set up the app. Once enrolled, Gastric IQ will appear in your Google Play Library. Install it, create your profile, and configure your medication or surgery details — it only takes a few minutes.

3. Use it and tell us what you think. Track a few meals, log an injection, browse your insights. Then leave a review through Google Play or reach out to us directly. Every piece of feedback — even a single observation — directly shapes what we build next.

Why Your Feedback Matters

Beta testers aren’t just early adopters. They’re co-authors.

The features that end up in the final app — the ones that actually help people — come from real users noticing what’s missing, what’s confusing, and what clicks immediately. We’d rather hear “this doesn’t make sense” from a tester now than from thousands of users later.

If you’ve ever felt like health apps weren’t built for you, this is your chance to change that.
