Doc Bear Enterprises — Veteran-Built Apps for Health Tracking & Meal Planning

What We Build, and Why

Doc Bear's Symptom Vault is a symptom tracker and VA disability claim documentation tool, built after going through the claims process and finding nothing that kept the kind of record it asks for.

Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen is an AI meal planner and food inventory app, available and supported in over 80 countries.

Patriot Thanks connects veterans and military families with the local businesses that support them.

The Comfort Spice Collection is a hand-blended set of custom spice blends, made in Cedar Rapids under Iowa's Cottage Food Law, beginning with taco seasoning.

Every product has a free tier, and Symptom Vault has no paid tier at all: no ads, no subscription, no account, and no cloud sync. We never see your health data. That is a design decision, not a feature we are planning to revisit.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Edward McKeown, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with a Ph.D. in hospitality management, thirty years in professional kitchens from Waffle House line cook onward, and four Comfort Food cookbooks in print. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
