iOS and Android Mobile App for Personalized Nutrition Planning
Summary
A Swiss wellness company wanted to give its audience a mobile way to understand what they eat and to follow a diet matched to their blood type. INNERLUXES built a set of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone that provide complete nutrition data for hundreds of foods and color-coded, blood-type-based diet guidance — all working fully offline once the app is downloaded.
About the Client
The Client is a Swiss company that provides people with high-quality information to help them enjoy a healthy lifestyle, physical well-being, and mental fitness.
Users Needed Complete Nutrition Data and Blood-Type Diet Guidance on Mobile
The Client engaged INNERLUXES to build patient-engagement software that lets users access complete nutrition data for hundreds of foods and follow a diet based on their blood type. The app had to make this information easy to reach on the go, across the major mobile platforms.
Cross-Platform Apps With Offline Nutrition Data and Blood-Type Recommendations
The INNERLUXES healthcare mobile app development team created a set of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone that give users all the key information about a food's nutritive value and tailor diet advice to their blood type:
- Full nutrition data for each food — calories, protein, carbs, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and Glycemic Index.
- Blood-type diet guidance that flags whether a given food is beneficial (green), neutral (yellow), or to avoid (red) for the user's blood type.
- Full offline use — once the app is downloaded, all of the information is available without an internet connection.
A New Mobile Service Line That Broadened the Client's Audience
The Client gained an app that expanded the set of services it offers its customers. Delivering Android and Windows Phone versions alongside iOS let the Client reach a broader audience, and numerous downloads worldwide made a tangible contribution to the company's revenue.
