Nutrient Tracking from the Healthie Mobile App
Data tells us that the majority of clients prefer to log their journal entries from the Healthie mobile app for it's convenience and real-time logging capability.
Healthie's Nutrient Tracking capability replaces the need for clients to use other meal logging apps such as MyFitnessPal. This allows both providers & clients to seamlessly work together within the Healthie platform, sharing & reviewing important data related to your client's dietary intake.
If you prefer that your client NOT be able to log meals with nutritional data, you can simply disable (or keep disabled) this journaling setting. You can fully customize your client's journaling experience (for food, and other journaling tasks like tracking water intake, symptoms, exercise, and more).
