- Weight management: Through a detailed food diary, verified nutrition information, and a built-in nutrition goal wizard, it helps users monitor food intake to achieve and maintain their target weight.
- Health overview: It can sync with various devices to track multiple biomarkers, from pain symptoms and gut health to blood glucose levels.
