Emma's family.
From scattered feed logs and “I think I missed something” — to a GI team that finally had the full picture.
Before Arcolia
A week that wore Marcus down.
01
The spreadsheet that was never quite current
Marcus kept Emma's feeds in a Google Sheet. Column by column: time, formula type, volume, tolerance. It was mostly accurate. He estimated on hard days. He added things to Notes when the sheet wasn't open. By the time GI appointments came around, reconciling it all took an hour — and he still wasn't confident he'd captured everything.
02
The g-tube site question
Emma's g-tube site looked different — some redness he couldn't quite place. He remembered noting something similar a few weeks back, but he couldn't find where. Was this new? Was this the same? He called the GI nurse line without a clear answer to give them.
03
Saturday night before GI
Every GI appointment started the same way: Marcus on the couch, phone in one hand, the spreadsheet on his laptop, trying to build a coherent picture of the last month. He always felt like he was missing something. He usually was.
Then Marcus found Arcolia.
Same weeks. A lighter weight.
With Arcolia
The same moments, handled.
Feed log done in 60 seconds
Marcus describes Emma's feeds at the end of the day — volume, formula, tolerance, anything notable. Arcolia extracts the structured data and builds the feed log automatically. No spreadsheet. No reconciling. The pattern builds itself.
The g-tube comparison, instant
When Emma's site looked different, Marcus opened Arcolia and searched 'g-tube site.' Three weeks of observations came up in seconds. He could see exactly what normal looked like for Emma. He called the nurse with real information. The conversation took five minutes.
The GI team finally had the full picture
The one-tap summary synthesized 30 days of feed notes: intake patterns, formula adjustments, tolerance trends, the three questions Marcus's notes had flagged. The GI dietitian said it was the most useful summary she'd received from a family. They actually had time to go deeper.
What made the difference
Daily Dump
Voice or text — feeds, symptoms, site observations, anything notable. Arcolia structures it automatically. The log exists without effort.
Searchable history
Months of notes, searchable in seconds. Compare this week to last month. Answer the nurse's question without digging through texts.
Clinic Brief
30 days of feed data synthesized into a clinical picture. The GI team gets context. The appointment gets to move forward.
“I used to start every GI appointment apologizing — for the spreadsheet that was never quite current, for saying ‘I think’ instead of ‘I know.’ I haven't apologized in three appointments.”
