Hi everyone!
Jon here, Fathom's CPO. For today’s post, I’ll be taking you through a more product-centric look into Fathom’s app experience.
As we get closer to our September iOS TestFlight launch, I wanted to share something that's been at the heart of every design and product decision we've made up to this point: your health profile.
Not Your Average IBD App
Managing IBD means navigating a complex landscape of symptoms, medications, dietary choices, and lifestyle decisions that are entirely your own. While most health apps treat Crohn's and ulcerative colitis as universal experiences, we've built Fathom around a simple truth: your path with IBD is as individual as you are.

The Foundation That Changes Everything
When you first open the Fathom app, you'll build a comprehensive health profile that captures your complete IBD experience:
Your Medical Context
Specific IBD diagnosis and any additional health conditions
Current medications and intake frequency
Past procedures and outcomes
Medical devices that support your daily routine
Your Daily Reality
Current symptoms and their patterns
Dietary preferences and known sensitivities
Foods and situations that affect your wellness
Lifestyle factors that influence how you feel
This profile becomes the foundation for every conversation you have with Fathom's AI—ensuring the guidance you receive actually fits your specific situation.
Journals That Know Your Story
Here's where things get interesting. Every interaction with Fathom draws from your complete health profile to provide personalized wellness support:
Context-Aware Guidance: When you ask about managing daily routines, Fathom considers your documented triggers, medications, and patterns to offer relevant insights tailored to your specific situation.
Medication Awareness: Questions about timing, lifestyle considerations, or general wellness practices around your treatment routine are informed by your medication profile, helping you make informed decisions about your daily management.
Nutritional Intelligence: Dietary suggestions consider your documented preferences, restrictions, and sensitivities to recommend meal choices that support your healthy eating goals.
Procedure Preparation: Whether you're preparing for infusion appointments, endoscopy, MRI enterography, or consultations, Fathom provides preparation guidance tailored to your documented history and current routine.
Why This Approach Is Different
Designed for IBD Complexity: While broad health apps offer surface-level support, Fathom understands the intricate relationships between IBD symptoms, treatments, and daily wellness choices. We've built the product specifically around these complexities.
Complete Context: Your health profile creates a 360-degree view of your wellness routine. Fathom tracks how your medications, dietary choices, stress patterns, and lifestyle factors interconnect to influence your daily experience.
Always Evolving With You: As your management approach changes, your profile grows with you. New medications, procedure updates, and shifting patterns continuously enhance how Fathom supports your journey with IBD.
Privacy-First By Design: Your health information stays secure and private, never shared or sold. Fathom's AI is designed to process your data with the highest privacy standards.
Your Daily IBD Wellness, Enhanced
The difference between generic health advice and curated support lies in context. When you're managing a chronic condition like IBD, you deserve tools that not only understand the condition, but how it specifically affects your day-to-day.
Your health profile gives Fathom's AI the context it needs to provide relevant guidance for your wellness routine. It's the foundation that transforms conversations from generic to genuinely useful—because when you're managing a chronic condition like IBD, personalized support makes all the difference.
