Kovar helps families managing colorectal and bladder conditions — Currarino syndrome, anorectal malformations (ARM), Hirschsprung disease, spina bifida and chronic constipation — keep a calm, consistent daily record. Built around a real Bowel Management Program: • Daily Bowel Diary — Bristol stool type, soiling/accidents, toilet sits with timer, pain faces, blood and notes. • Caregiver dashboard — todays summary, clean-day streak, 7-day trend. • Kid Mode — big friendly buttons, a mascot, and instant sticker rewards. Returning to Grown-up Mode is gated by Face ID / passcode. • Sticker book — the motivation loop that keeps kids engaged. • Weekly report — a plain record you can share or print for clinic. Grows with your child — optional modules per child: flush/stoma logging (ACE/MACE/cecostomy), a bladder diary with dry-day streaks and UTI log, diet/fluid/fibre tracking, mood check-ins, a school care plan, a plain-language Learn library, and an Appointments tab that builds a combined PDF report for clinic. Private by design — your data lives in your own iCloud. Grown-up Mode and private symptom photos are protected by Face ID. Not medical advice. Kovar only records and shares information you enter from your own care team. It never diagnoses or suggests medicines or doses.
