Everything you need on a GLP-1
Helsa is food-first: log meals in seconds and hit your protein, with dose and side-effect tracking built in. One app for the day-to-day, so you can focus on how you feel.
Log meals in seconds
One chat for all your food: snap a photo, scan a barcode, type or just say what you ate. Helsa's AI estimates the calories, protein and fiber, looks up branded and restaurant foods, and shows how the meal may affect your blood sugar.
Hit your protein
Getting enough protein helps protect your muscle while you lose weight. Helsa sets a daily target of 1.2 g per kg of body weight, kept between 80 and 120 g, following a 2025 joint advisory from ACLM, ASN, OMA and The Obesity Society. Every meal shows how close you are.
Never miss a dose
Log each dose in two taps and get reminders on your schedule, weekly or daily. Taking injections? Helsa suggests the next injection site so you can rotate.
Helsa doesn't recommend doses or dose changes. That's always for your prescriber.
Feel better day to day
Log side effects like nausea or constipation in seconds and spot patterns over time. Helsa shares practical tips on smaller meals, hydration and fiber.

Ask your coach
Helsa's AI coach knows your medication, your dose and how you've been feeling, so its answers fit your day. Ask what to eat when your appetite is low or how to get more protein. It won't recommend doses or dose changes; that's for your prescriber.
