Gout is an unpleasant disease that affects about 4% of the population. What is critical to these people is how they manage their diet, so as to avoid flare-ups. Existing apps are geared towards the general foods available in the grocery stores.

The Purity - Gout Diet Management app is a 100% free purine calculator to help those with gout easily and effectively manage their gout diet. What separates this app from other purine calculators is the inclusion of popular fast-food items, diet recommendations and information about a healthy gout diet and lifestyle.

The Purity app was developed by Ariana Pineda, a high school student with a deep interest in the intersection of medical research and technology. She developed this app as a tool to help her father and a few of her relatives who suffer from gout.

In a recent interview, Ariana said, “Our purine data and food items are compiled from a variety of scientific journals and articles to ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date nutritional data are provided to users. Our transparent provision of an expansive set of research-backed nutritional data will help users keep track of their purine diet and promote a healthier gout diet.”

Features and benefits of the Purity app:
1. Research-Backed Data: Purine and Uric Acid content data for each meal provided by scientific journals.
2. Health Status: Color-coded daily purine intake status indicates when purine intake is too high, moderately high, or low.
3. Purine & Uric Acid Calculations: Returns total Purine and Uric Acid Intake based on the number of grams or ounces. Color-coded indicator of daily purine level status. Purine to Uric Acid Conversion. Grams to Ounces Conversion.
4. Expansive Datasets: Purity provides an expansive and diverse selection of food items including the most popular fast food items.

Yuppy888, a verified app user, said this: “Really happy about the new version, which features favorite food items in popular fast food places. Looking forward for the developer to continue to add more items to the fast food menu. This app is a 'toe'-saver!”
