WHO ARE WE?

Inspire people to positively affect their health by outsmarting chronic conditions for a healthier lifestyle.

Sweetch is a scalable, cost effective Artificial Intelligence platform for prediction, prevention, management and outcome improvement of chronic conditions.

Sweetch team, which includes worldwide leading professionals in the fields of medicine, psychology, nutrition, diet, and athletic trainers, is a winning combination that enables creation of a tailor-made program to individuals. This program raises the participant's adherence to physical activity, weight loss, and enhancement of health and nutrition.

WHAT IS SWEETCH?

  • Sweetch is an Artificial Intelligence based platform for large scale prediction, prevention, management and outcome improvement of chronic disease.
  • Throughout the day we send you personalized recommendations that fit into your daily lives to encourage you to be more active and lose weight.
  • We help you integrate physical activity (mainly walking, but you can also perform other aerobic exercises as long as you carry your phone) into your day – every day - until it becomes a part of your daily routine.
  • Sweetch provides you with a personalized weight loss plan that helps you reach your goals.
  • We start with smaller goals, which we adapt gradually, based on your progress.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

  • Keep the app running in the background, it does not drain the battery.
  • Allow the app to send push notifications. This is how the app works to help you become healthier and achieve your health goals.
  • Allow the app to use GPS/location. This allows us to be more accurate with our calculations (Sweetch only uses your data for personalized guidance).
  • Avoid activating battery optimization directly on the Sweetch app. Sometimes the operating system default settings use a battery optimizer that runs an aggressive energy policy which terminates apps that have not been used for a while. Sweetch app was designed to track user activity in the background, and consume minimal energy.
  • Allow the app to access your calendar. This allows us to send you just-in-time recommendations.
  • We send you questionnaires from time to time to understand your needs and help improve the program. Your feedback is important to us!

NOTICE

If participants have or suspect that they have a medical problem or condition that may prevent them from continuing the program, they are required to stop the program immediately and contact a qualified health care professional.

Patients must consult with their health care professionals, perform all necessary research and use their judgement before making any health, exercise, activity or lifestyle choices. Please engage in any activity and/or exercise responsibly.

HOW DOES SWEETCH ACTIVITY TRACKING WORK?

Sweetch uses sensors and location information from your smartphone device to recognize activity, routes and places. The data is uploaded to our servers, which does most of the complex processing providing you with personalized recommendations that helps you achieve your goals.

WHERE SHOULD I CARRY MY SMARTPHONE?

Sweetch works in your pocket, bag, purse, hand or armband – the important thing is that you have your smartphone with you. The app cannot track your walking or running if you leave it at home 🙂

WHICH ACTIVITIES DOES SWEETCH TRACK?

Sweetch tracks walking or running. You can manually report on activities such as yoga, treadmill, dancing, swimming, etc and we will convert this activity towards your goals.

HOW ACCURATE IS THE ACTIVITY COUNTER?

Sweetch recognizes activity when you are continuously walking or running.
To help you reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome related diseases and enhance your health, we are eliminating short activities that have no clinical effect such as walking around the house, washing the dishes, doing laundry, cooking and more.

DOES SWEETCH TRACK RUNNING AND WALKING ON A TREADMILL?

If you carry your mobile device, Sweetch will track walking and running. If you choose not to carry your mobile device, you may also manually report that you’ve completed physical activity on the treadmill.
