Hyderabad, 29th June 2024,
Nutrify India Now 2.0 (NIN 2.0), a mobile app developed by ICMR-NIN, was recently released by Director Dr.Hemalatha R. Designed to assist users in tracking their nutritional intake and physical activity, the app offers daily suggestions based on dietary inputs. It also monitors key health indicators such as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Body Mass Index (BMI), energy balance, body weight, water intake, and sleep patterns, as noted by Dr. R. Ananthan, who led the team that developed. Compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices, NIN 2.0 is designed to integrate with wearable technology.
Unlike conventional nutrition apps, NIN 2.0 is based on scientific data generated by ICMR-NIN. It allows users to assess the nutrient composition of food and recipes with near accuracy. Users can log their daily meals and track their dietary history through the Diet Diary feature. “The app also offers recipe customization, enabling users to edit standardized recipes, substitute or add ingredients, change ingredient quantities, or modify portion sizes. It calculates energy intake and expenditure over 24 hours to bring the energy balance closer to actual values,” emphasized Dr. Hemalatha, who supervised the entire process.
NIN 2.0 provides tailored recommendations based on the user’s food intake to help improve dietary habits. By recording daily dietary intake and energy expenditure, users can better understand their energy balance, promoting better health. The app includes many user-friendly features for maintaining comprehensive health records. Dr. R. Ananthan mentioned that the beta version of the app is available now at http://68.183.89.215:5000/ with the final version expected next month.
