INTRODUCTION
HealthifyMe was founded in 2012 by Tushar Vashisht, Matthew
Cherian, and Sachin Shena. Initially incubated by Microsoft
Accelerator, the company provides measurable results for dietary
habits, fitness, and weight, and is working with leading
companies and healthcare partners in India. The HealthifyMe app
allows users to track diet and exercise regimens, get expert
advice, and connect with other fitness enthusiasts to lead a healthy
lifestyle. HealthifyMe plans offer a range of premium options to
help customers and fitness enthusiasts achieve their
goals.HealthifyMe is primarily distributed in over 300 cities with
10 million downloads, approximately 25 million users, and
1,500+ trainers. The app has a rating of 4.6/5 on the Play Store
and has been cited multiple times by Google and Apple as a
quality indicator.HealthifyMe’s vision is to build the world’s
largest online health and fitness service. They want to interact
with nutritionists and other AI-powered health professionals to
help millions of consumers achieve their goals.
HOW DOES HEALTHIFY WORK
The primary purpose of the HealthifyMe app is to act as a calorie
counter, allowing users to lose weight and track diet and exercise
patterns via their phone or computer.Another amazing thing about
HealthifyMe is that its premium prices are a lot more affordable
in comparison to the services they are providing, such as allowing
users to interact with nutritionists, fitness experts, and yoga
instructors, which generally would burn a big hole in your
pocket.So, the HealthifyMe app has three key components
First, it is a lifestyle tracker that was launched 4 years ago as
India’s first calorie counter.
Second is their social feed, which allows the user to find their kind
of people with similar goals and problems.
The third and most innovative aspect is HealthifyMe’s technology
augmented coaching, which uses a combination of artificial
intelligence and human trainers to help users stay healthy and
engage with the app. By incorporating AI with user data, the
HealthifyMe app can display a user’s eating patterns and needs.
HealthifyMe’s fitness trainer now has an artificial intelligence
named Ria that can handle 77% of all user questions, allowing
trainers and nutritionists to focus on the remaining 23% of the
more difficult questions. Even in those cases, Ria can make
suggestions, but she’s not sure about the actual answer herself, so
she relies on human judgment.In February 2020, HealthifyMe
announced that it would enter the mental health sector. This
mental health discipline “HealthifySense” gives users access to
qualified consultants on the HealthifyMe platform. This move
will allow companies to transition from a weight loss or fitness
app to a full-fledged health and wellness platform.The company
has also launched the HealthifySmart Legends Edition. Through
this program, the company will work with sports and fitness
legends to provide users with expert diet and exercise advice from
these fitness celebrities. HealthifyMe India has now hired
renowned tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi as Strategic Advisor for
HealthifySmart Legends Edition.To provide users with a
complete health and fitness package, HealthifyMe has also
connected with the food delivery and gym apps. Users can now
order food according to their diet plan or find a list of healthy
restaurants on Swiggy (powered by HealthifyMe).Users can also
order products from HealthifyMe’s “Milkbasket” partner app at a
location of their choice. Again, for workouts, HealthifyMe has
partnered with Fitternity, a fitness search and booking app that
gives HealthifyMe users access to over 12,000 gyms and fitness
studios across India.
HISTORY OF HEALTHIFYME
Tushar Vashisht was overweight when he returned to India after
working as an analyst at Deutsche Bank in Singapore eight years
ago. His sedentary lifestyle continued after he took on a
responsible position as project leader for the group that created
digital identities in Aadhaar, India.It was then, Tushar decided to
do something about his obesity and started tracking the calories
and nutrients of the food he ate.But he soon ran into trouble —
there was little to no help in terms of guiding what to eat and what
not to eat in terms of Indian food.Also at the time, Tushar and
Matthew were working with UIDAI and experimented with what
it was like to live below the poverty line. Both the co-founders
started living on just Rs 100 per day. During the experiment,
Tushar and Mathew built an excel sheet with nutritional
information on various Indian food.Tushar came up with an
analytical tool to break down the calories and main nutrients in
900 foods and presented it to the government’s planning council
as a healthcare aid.This was how HealthifyMe started, the startup
was then established in late 2011, and soon after, Former Google
employee Sachin Shenoy later joined him as a Co-founder.
