A home companion for the families on your caseload.
Galet gives the families you work with a structured, clinician-reviewed way to practise Food Stretching and log meals, hydration, and digestion at home. They arrive at your appointments with better information, not more noise.
What Galet does, and where it stops.
Galet is a parent-facing mobile app. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, and not an alternative to feeding therapy, occupational therapy, or medical care. We've been careful about every one of those lines. This space is full of products that haven't been.
- What Galet does: structured home logging, an OT-informed Food Stretching planner, AI-assisted Food Chain suggestions (with human review), pattern tracking against pediatric reference ranges, clinician-ready PDF export.
- What Galet doesn't do: diagnose, predict, prescribe, calculate risk scores, interpret labs, or replicate any clinical protocol.
- Regulatory posture: data interpretation and pattern tracking only. Galet sits outside SaMD scope. We disclose this in-app and on our SaMD page.
The feeding-gut connection. A longer look.
Galet exists because of a pattern many clinicians recognise but few tools were built around: in neurodivergent children with restricted safe-food repertoires, feeding behaviour and pediatric gut patterns frequently travel together.
A child with a narrow safe-food list often gets less dietary fibre than age-general pediatric guidelines suggest. Lower fibre intake can contribute to harder stools and less regular bowel patterns. In some children, that contributes to physical discomfort around eating. Discomfort around eating can further narrow the safe-food list. The loop, when it forms, is quiet and slow. That's part of why families arrive at GI appointments with months of vague history rather than a clear picture.
Galet doesn't claim to break this loop or reverse it. We don't think a consumer app can. What we can do is give families a structured home-logging tool that puts both sides of the picture on the same page (safe-food patterns and digestion patterns) so that when a family reaches you, the data is already there.
Food Stretching and Food Chains are parent-led scaffolding borrowed from established pediatric feeding literature (SOS feeding, food chaining, JND). They're home supports, not clinical interventions. Any family with acute concerns is directed clearly, in-app and on this website, to their paediatrician or feeding team.
A forthcoming peer-reviewed piece from our CMO looks at the feeding-gut relationship in neurodivergent children in more depth. To be notified when it publishes, let us know.
What a Galet export looks like.
Every family using Galet can generate a short PDF summary for their care team. It includes:
- Two-to-four-week summary of logged meals with fibre, iron, calcium, protein, and hydration patterns against pediatric reference ranges.
- Bristol Stool Scale log, age-normalised frequency, and any pattern changes flagged (descriptively, not diagnostically).
- Food Stretching attempts and outcomes. What was tried. What was accepted. What was declined.
- Food Chain progress if the family has used it.
- Parent-written context notes.
Readable in the first minute of an appointment. Short over comprehensive.
How to refer a family.
During the Toronto pilot, please email the founder directly. We'll send a family-facing one-pager you can forward. No commitment, no portal, no login. A few families per clinician is ideal. We want to spend real time with each one.
After the pilot, we'll stand up a clinician-access page with referral materials and the option to receive a monthly summary (with parent consent) of patients you've referred.
Questions, concerns, or a second opinion welcome.
We built Galet alongside clinicians, and we intend to keep it that way. If something on this site doesn't sit right with you, we want to hear it.
