Introducing Nutu™: A Revolutionary App for Empowering Healthier Lives

IRVINE, Calif., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutu™ is an innovative health and wellness app that empowers individuals to take charge of their health thanks to its unique Nutu Score, a tool within the app designed to help nudge users into optimal balance.

Created for people looking to adopt healthier habits and achieve sustainable healthy weight, Nutu provides a science-backed, user-friendly platform that inspires transformation with small steps. Nutu is Willow Laboratories' first continuum of care digital health application, developed by food scientists, registered dietitians, nutritionists, endocrinologists, and algorithm engineers to help people achieve their health and weight loss goals. Nutu leverages artificial intelligence, enables remote data capture, provides virtual lifestyle coaching, and connects to smart wearables.

Nutu offers a Healthy Living Program and a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). All users start with a prediabetes risk assessment because, according to the CDC, more than 80 percent of the 98 million American adults who have prediabetes do not even know they have it. If a user does not qualify as high risk for prediabetes, then the Healthy Living Program is offered. According to a Mayo Clinic Proceedings study, less than 3 percent of Americans have a healthy lifestyle, meaning nearly everyone can benefit from Nutu.

Key Features Nutu:

• Nutu Score: Customers use the app to monitor their Nutu Score, an algorithm that combines basal metabolism, food choices, activities, and sleep. The Nutu Score guides users daily and suggests food intake and activity modifications. Nutu doesn't simply track calories but also other nutritional metrics of food. Additionally, users can log their activity and focus on keeping the Nutu Score in the green zone.
• AI Coaching: An AI-powered coach is available 24/7.
• Personalized Goals and Nudges: Whether dining out or eating at home, tailored recommendations are provided based on individual health data, nutrition intake, and long-term goals.
• Simplified Meal and Activity Logging: The app features tools that simplify meal logging. Nutu's food recognition tool offers a simple and engaging way to log meals. Users can capture a photo of their food, allowing the app to analyze and track their intake seamlessly. Additionally, users can scan the barcodes on packaged foods from grocery stores, search a database of over a million food items, and reveal the nutrition at thousands of nationwide restaurants. Nutu has remote data capture from activity-tracking devices and connectivity smartwatches to simplify tracking physical activity.
• Social Team Support: All users may also access a built-in network of like-minded individuals to foster accountability, support, and motivation.
• Progress Tracking: Intuitive dashboards allow users to monitor their improvements and celebrate milestones.

"We created Nutu to help people make small incremental steps to achieve their goals sustainably," said Joe Kiani, founder and CEO of Willow Laboratories. "Whether you've been diagnosed with prediabetes or want to improve your health, mind, and body, Nutu helps you achieve a healthier, more balanced life."

"The more things change, the more they stay the same said Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. Quick fixes rarely work, if ever, but small changes work and, importantly, can be sustained. Nutu, or nudge in Latin, helps people achieve their goals in small but meaningful ways. We believe Nutu is the solution many people have been looking for, especially given the side effects of the new GLP-1 drugs, the fad diets that fail, and conflicting information and health advice," said Joe Kiani.

For users like Amy H., Nutu has been a critically helpful tool to address weight issues that were heightened by a family history of diabetes. Amy specifically found the food tracking and Nutu Score helpful in making sustainable changes that led to measurable results.

"I got an email from my primary doctor in all caps stating that I was very close to having diabetes. I had just started using Nutu. What [Nutu] helped me see was the balance between my food and my exercise," said Amy H. "It also has suggestions, recommendations, and tips for certain foods. I redid my blood work after 3 months, and my blood sugar had dropped considerably. My numbers are now in the normal/high average range. I know as I continue to use this app that my numbers will continue to improve."

User Kathy H. also has had a positive experience with Nutu as she has been at risk for prediabetes and struggled with her health for a long time. Kathy especially likes how the app combines diet, exercise, and coaching into one spot to streamline her success.

"I like the coach and the AI companion because the coach keeps encouraging me daily," said Kathy. "It also prompts me to make choices and offers suggestions as far as food, so I can make better choices."

Best of all, Kathy's ongoing use of Nutu™ has shown measurable results for her and her health goals.
"I've actually seen my blood pressure come down as well as my weight so that for me is key," said Kathy. "I would recommend the app. It's pretty powerful, and it's right there in your pocket."
