Getting Started
Welcome to PancreaTrack — a clinical-grade symptom and nutrition tracker designed specifically for patients with chronic pancreatitis, EPI, and post-TPIAT conditions.
What is PancreaTrack?
PancreaTrack helps you log and understand your daily health data — pain episodes, meals, bowel patterns, lab values, and glucose levels — and share a clear clinical picture with your care team. Unlike general health apps, every feature is built around the specific needs of pancreatic disease patients.
Creating Your Account
You can sign up two ways — choose whichever is easiest for you:
Click Sign up with Google on the registration page. You'll be taken to a standard Google permission screen, and once you approve, your account is created and verified instantly — no email confirmation step required. Use this option if you have a Google or Gmail account.
Click Sign up with Google for instant access, or enter your name, email address, and a password. If you use email, a verification link will be sent before your first login.
Answer a few questions about your diagnosis, medications, and primary care team. This personalizes your dashboard and logging defaults.
The dashboard shows a 7-day summary of pain, nutrition, and recent activity. Everything is accessible from the left sidebar.
Start with a pain log or a meal — whichever is most relevant to you today. Consistency over time is what generates meaningful insights.

Getting the Most Out of PancreaTrack
The platform works best when you log consistently. Even brief daily entries — a pain score and a meal — give your physician meaningful trend data within 2–3 weeks. Sporadic logging still helps, but patterns require at least 10–15 data points to become statistically reliable.
Log meals at the time you eat, not at the end of the day. Fat gram estimates are more accurate when the meal is fresh in your memory.
