Abstract

Digital transformation in healthcare and chronic disease management via mobile applications has been paid more attention. The GERDCare application was developed with the goal of optimizing the management of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), however it is still in the process of improvement and enhancement of its features. On that basis, a cross-sectional study was conducted between March and June 2023 among healthcare professionals and medical students, surveying their experience and evaluation after using GERDCare. 147 participants were recruited to this study with 43.5% male and the average age was 31.8. The results showed that over 80% of users evaluated features such as symptom changes record, medication reminders, disease-related knowledge, dietary guidance, and interaction with doctors as good and user-friendly. Besides, there are several errors while using the app including slow loading speeds. In the future, with continued upgrades and improvements, GERDCare can become a useful tool in supporting physicians and patients in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease.
