Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our objective here is to improve the patient's compliance and accurate capture of patient reported bowel and abdominal symptoms, by utilizing a phone application that interactively records each bowel movement or leakage event and other bowel symptoms. Such an electronic stool diary may relieve the burden of using a paper daily stool diary. We will compare and validate the electronic stool diary with the paper stool diary.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Fecal incontinence consists of multiple and often unpredictable bowel movements and leakage of stool. Chronic constipation is associated with episodes of irregular and unpredictable bowel habits and difficulty with remembering symptoms. These features lead to a recall bias, and inaccurate recollection and/or documentation of symptoms that are critical for diagnosis and management. A daily stool diary has been used in clinical trials and in clinical practice to accurately record bowel symptoms. However, patients find these diary entries cumbersome or embarrassing to use, especially with bowel movements that occur outside of home resulting in loss of data or inaccurate collection of information. Also, many patients forget events especially when this bowel habit is irregular. Therefore, it is crucial to explore new ways of accurately, reliability, and more discretely collect bowel habit information, by using current technology that a majority of people have access to.

Healthy

Subjects without bowel issues will be asked to complete a 2 week electronic stool diary and a 2 week paper stool diary. They will complete feedback questionnaires for comparison between the two forms of diaries. The subjects will have the option to download the Stool Dairy App or if they do not have access to a smartphone they will be provided with a phone on which one the app has already been uploaded and instructed on its use. Subject's charts may be reviewed.
