Quick Answer
The Helsa AI coach is a chat inside the Helsa app that knows which GLP-1 medication you take. Ask it about meals, protein, side effects or your logs, and get plain-language answers. It is for education and tracking, not medical advice.
What is the Helsa AI coach?
Helsa is a GLP-1 companion app for iPhone and Android. The AI coach is the part you talk to. It can see what you have logged in the app, such as meals, doses, side effects and weight, so its answers fit your situation instead of reading like a generic FAQ.
What can you ask it?
- Meals: “What should I eat for dinner if I have little appetite and still need protein?”
- Your logs: “How much protein did I log this week compared with last week?”
- Side effects: “I felt nauseous after lunch. What did I eat that day?”
- Nutrition basics: “What does glycemic load mean for this meal?”
- Your medication: Questions asked in the context of the medication you set up in the app.
How does it work with the rest of Helsa?
Helsa is built around a few habits that matter on a GLP-1 medication:
- Log meals in one AI food chat by photo, text or voice. Helsa shows calories, protein, fiber and each meal’s estimated glycemic index and load.
- Track doses and side effects so you have a clear record to share with your care team.
- Follow your weight since you started.
- Track A1C and other blood markers next to your meals.
- Ask the coach when you want to understand what your own data shows.
Nutrition values and glycemic estimates are approximate.
What the AI coach does not do
- It does not give medical advice or diagnose conditions.
- It does not recommend dose changes.
- It does not replace your doctor, pharmacist or dietitian.
If a question is about your medication, your symptoms or a change in how you feel, talk with your healthcare provider.
