“…The first group of technologies consists of assistants to support food shopping. Included in this group are mobile apps that scan barcodes of packaged foods to assess their safety (e.g., ipiit 1 , Spoon Guru 2 , The Gluten Free Scanner 3 , or Food Code Breaker [1]). By comparing barcodes against a pre-curated database, these systems provide point-of-purchase alerts to inform individuals whether the food package they are looking at contains specific food allergens [36].…”

“…ipiit, mentioned above, suggests alternative food products when users scan a product that is unsafe [36]. FODMAP Grocery Guide 4 displays a list of products that are safe for people adopting a low FODMAP diet, and the prototype from Altamirano et al [3] includes a list of safe products for people with celiac disease to try. Finally, we can also refer to systems that suggest safe recipes based on the users' specific food hypersensitivities.…”

People with food hypersensitivities experience adverse reactions when eating certain foods and thus need to adapt their diet. When dining out, the challenge is greater as people entrust the care of their allergy, intolerance, or celiac disease, in the hands of staff who might not have enough knowledge to appropriately care for them. This interview study explored how people with food hypersensitivities avoid reactions while eating out, to inspire future digital technology design. Our findings show the social and emotional impact of food hypersensitivities and how people practically cope by investigating restaurants' safety precautions, correcting orders, or even educating restaurants' staff. We discuss our findings against the experiences of other people living with chronic conditions and offer design opportunities for digital technologies to enhance dining out experiences of people with food hypersensitivities.

“…This application focuses on self-management strategies such as diet tracking, symptom journaling, meal-plan content, education, supplements, and recommended foods [ 32 ]. More recently, an application aiming to serve as a platform for interactions between people with CD and their social circles was developed to exchange celiac-related information and create a safe environment in which people with CD can socialize safely [ 33 ].…”

Mobile Application for Promoting Gluten-Free Diet Self-Management in Adolescents with Celiac Disease: Proof-of-Concept Study

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease treated by maintaining and managing a lifelong restrictive gluten-free diet. The purpose of this study was to develop a mobile application, Plan My C-Day, to promote self-management skills among youth with CD during adolescence—a time when decreased adherence often occurs—and examine its usability among adolescents with CD. Plan My C-Day contains three simulations of activities involving eating out and actions to take when preparing for these events. It was developed and pilot tested by 13 adolescents with CD. Application use and user perception data were collected and analyzed. Participants chose 160 actions within the simulations. For over 75% of participants, the time to complete the simulation decreased from the first to the third (last) simulation by an average of 50%. The average reported usability perception was 3.71 on a scale of 1 to 5, with system ease of use and ease of learning obtaining the highest scores. This study demonstrated that the Plan My C-Day mobile application’s self-management content, features, and functions operated well and that the simulations were easy to understand and complete. Further development will include the option to add self-created activities and adaptation to different languages and cultures.

Introduction. Considering the lack of inclusive Persian application for celiac patients that covers all aspects of the GFD, we developed a Persian-language application for patients with CD and assessed the effectiveness of a three-month educational intervention delivered via smartphone application compared with standard care on gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) score in patients with celiac disease. Methods. In the present parallel randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 patients with CD were assigned randomly to receive education through a smartphone application ( n = 30 ) or conventional clinical education ( n = 30 ). The patients were asked to use it for getting the required information for three months. We assessed the gastrointestinal symptoms using the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) questionnaire at baseline and three months after interventions. The GSRS total score, celiac disease GSRS (CD-GSRS) score, abdominal pain, reflux, diarrhea, constipation, and indigestion scores were calculated. Results. Out of 60 randomized patients, 58 patients completed the study. In comparison to baseline, the mean score of CD-GSRS score ( p = 0.001 ), and indigestion subscore ( p < 0.001 ) were significantly decreased in the intervention group. The results of the between-group comparisons showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups only in the mean score of indigestion ( p = 0.002 ). Conclusion. According to the results, using a smartphone application for providing information to patients with celiac disease had a significant positive effect on indigestion symptoms compared with routine clinic education. Trial Registration. This trial is registered with the Iranian registry of clinical trials (IRCT code: IRCT20170117032004N2; trial registry date: 2019.6.26).
