Our Project
Understanding the problem and how ABBA LARS provides a solution.
The problem we solve
After rectal cancer surgery, many people live with bowel changes (LARS). It's hard to track, explain to doctors, and know what helps.
Life after surgery is different
Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) can lead to urgency, clustering, incontinence and changes in stool consistency that strongly affect quality of life.
Many patients struggle to keep track of how they feel over weeks and months, and it is hard to describe these day‑to‑day changes clearly during short appointments.
What ABBA LARS does
ABBA LARS gives patients a simple, structured way to log symptoms, lifestyle factors and validated scores on a daily and weekly basis.
The app translates these entries into clean timelines and summaries, so both patients and clinicians can quickly see trends instead of scrolling through raw notes.
Why this matters
With better data, conversations become more focused: patients feel heard, and doctors can make decisions based on objective history rather than memory alone.
Our goal is to support earlier interventions, more personalized management plans and, ultimately, better long‑term outcomes after rectal cancer surgery.
