About Gout Radar
Our Mission
At Gout Radar, we believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy, pain-free life. We're on a mission to empower people with gout and high uric acid levels to make informed dietary choices through the power of artificial intelligence.
Our Story
Gout Radar was born from a personal struggle. Our founder experienced the debilitating pain of gout attacks and the constant anxiety of not knowing which foods were safe to eat. Traditional purine charts were confusing, incomplete, and difficult to use in real-world situations.
We realized that millions of people worldwide face the same challenge every day. That's when we decided to harness the power of AI to create a solution that would make healthy eating effortless and accessible for everyone managing gout.
