Just a cost thing. I use a scale all day. But for most starting out the measuring spoon and cups are cheap and easy to use.

Great point. The Fitbit app does not answer common medical questions or give you a simple check of how you're doing. I do'nt have the premium Fitbit account so I'm not sure if they do there. But to me this is a failing on most of the top apps out there.

Just to be sure, we just use the data over the last week and then dump it as soon as we present a result. Happy to discuss more.

Do you also find it creepy that health apps store your data?

I've been working in the health tech space for over 10 years now and I think it's super creepy when health apps store your data and do gosh-knows what with it.I started to learn how to code last year and wanted to solve a few problems:1.

Companies like ginger.io have been doing this with success for many years.

Hi Dr.Scump we are actually not tracking location all the time. Just significant location change every 10 minutes or so.

Users don't need to select this permission if they don't want to.

Hope this helps.
