Measured, not moralised

Coming off is the hard part.

Healthcount is a tool for GLP-1 users, built for the maintenance phase and coming off, that tracks food, doses and appetite from one diary line a day.

You write in normal words. We do the maths, and nothing gets scored red or green.

  • Write what you ate in plain English. We work out the calories.
  • Log your prescribed doses. We track the timing, down to the half-life.
  • Eight quick questions a week on appetite, cravings and control.

Not a prescribing service. Not medical advice.

Measure

One-line logging becomes clean data

Understand

Trends separate signal from noise

Maintain

Drift caught early, one next step

How it works

1

Measure

Log food, weight, doses and symptoms in one line. Healthcount does the maths: calories, protein, dose schedules.

2

Understand

Trend lines separate signal from noise. A weekly trend beats a daily wobble, and the numbers never judge you.

3

Maintain

Drift gets caught early, with one next step. If something needs clinical attention, we say so plainly.

One diary line (10 seconds)
What Healthcount works out: "342 kcal and 20g protein logged. Weight trend: down 0.4kg over the last week. Dose 3 of 4 this month, next one due Friday. Nothing else to do today."

Numbers without judgement

Science is impartial. The numbers inform you; they don't judge you.

  • No streaks or pressure mechanics
  • No red/green food scoring
  • Measure only as often as the signal needs: a weekly trend beats a daily wobble
  • Stigma-aware language + do-no-harm checks

If prompts increase anxiety or compulsive tracking, we pause and rewrite them.

Who we're built for

We count so you don't have to.

You write in normal words and we do the maths: calories, protein and dose timing. Once a week, eight quick questions ask about appetite, cravings and control, so you can see a change in how eating feels without waiting for the scale.

  • Turns one line a day into calories, protein and dose timing
  • Tracks the doses your prescriber has set, injection or tablet
  • Asks eight questions a week and shows how appetite, cravings and control are moving

Built for insurer and employer-funded pathways

  • Aggregated, de-identified reporting (minimum group sizes)
  • Governance artefacts: DPIA, privacy/security summary, clinical boundaries
  • Low operational overhead: exception-led, not dashboard babysitting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Healthcount?

Healthcount is a free UK-built web app for people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medication such as Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound. You write one line a day about food, doses, symptoms and weight, and it keeps the timeline. It is built for the maintenance phase and for coming off the medication, the part that usually gets no support. It sets no diet, no target and no dose, and it is not medical advice. Healthcount also publishes the GLP-1 Price Index, open data on what UK pharmacies charge for these medicines.

Is this a weight loss programme?

No. It's a tool for the maintenance phase and coming off. It tracks food, doses and appetite, and it never sets a diet or a dose.

How much do I have to track?

As much or as little as you like. One line a day is enough for the maths to work. Whatever you log becomes calories, protein and trend lines automatically, and nothing gets scored red or green.

Does Healthcount provide medical advice?

No. It supports routines and signposts when to seek clinical help.

What do employers/insurers see?

Aggregated, de-identified reporting only. No individual employee health data is shared.

Can I use it for GLP-1 medicines like Mounjaro/Wegovy?

Yes. It's designed for GLP-1 maintenance and stop-start patterns.
