Hi, I'm Jaden

Founder of Discova

Raised in Meridian, Idaho

I just graduated from BYU with a master's degree in Information Systems Management, with an emphasis in software development. Discova is the app I built because it's the app I wished existed for myself.

I was born in China and adopted at a young age, and I've dealt with gut health issues for as long as I can remember. I didn't even realize I had lactose intolerance until I was in college. On top of that, I still have some kind of ongoing issue I'm trying to figure out.

I've tried nearly everything: manual notes, elimination diets, doctors, clean eating, and medication. None of it gave me a clear answer. What I kept wishing for was a way to actually see the patterns in what I eat and how I feel, so I could either have a more useful conversation with a doctor, or figure out the problem myself.

That's what Discova is built to do: help you notice the patterns your gut is already showing you, so you don't have to guess.

Discova is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose anything. It's the tool I wanted while I was trying to figure out my own gut health, and I'm building it for anyone else going through the same thing.
