About IC Buddy
IC Buddy is a private symptom diary and education hub built for people navigating interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome. It brings day-to-day observations, food notes, flare context, and appointment preparation into one understandable place.
What IC Buddy does
IC Buddy helps people record symptoms consistently, compare patterns over time, and prepare clearer summaries for healthcare visits. It does not diagnose IC or replace individualized care.
- Track pain, pressure, urgency, frequency, sleep, food, drinks, stress, and treatments.
- Review trends without relying on memory alone.
- Use educational pages to prepare questions for qualified clinicians.
Who it is for
The platform is designed for adults living with IC/BPS, people exploring persistent bladder symptoms with a clinician, caregivers, and supporters who want reliable starting points.
- Newly diagnosed people looking for orientation.
- Long-term patients refining self-management routines.
- People preparing for urology, urogynecology, pain, or pelvic-health appointments.
Privacy and safety
Health notes are personal. IC Buddy encourages users to record only what feels useful and to review the privacy policy before using any account-based feature.
