79: What Is the Best App to Track Chronic Illness Symptoms? Meet Ethia.io with George & MaraSaldana

Living with chronic illness isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about managing an entire system that was never designed to work seamlessly together. Appointments. Labs. Medications. Specialists. And the constant pressure to remember everything, track everything, and somehow make sense of it all. In this episode of Autoimmune Adventures, George and Mara Saldana share the deeply personal story behind Ethia.io—a platform born out of real struggle, real frustration, and a powerful question: 👉 What if managing your health didn’t have to feel like chaos? As Mara navigated Crohn’s disease and the overwhelming complexity of her care, George saw firsthand how broken and fragmented the system can feel for patients. Instead of accepting it, he built something different.
