Healthcount Australia
Weight, food, doses and symptoms in one calm record. Australian units, Australian regulatory context, and no pretending the numbers mean more than they do.
You write one line about your day. Healthcount does the arithmetic and keeps the record, so that in three months you are not reconstructing anything from memory.
Food, weight, doses and symptoms, logged in whatever words you already use. Energy comes back in kilojoules, the way it appears on the panel of anything you buy here.
A trend line separates signal from the daily wobble that water and salt cause. The numbers are shown as data, not as a verdict on how your week went.
Drift gets picked up early, while it is still small. If something looks like it needs a clinician rather than an app, we say so plainly.
Most tracking apps are built for American or British users and then translated badly. Here is what we do differently.
Energy
Kilojoules
Food Standards Australia New Zealand requires kilojoules on nutrition panels, and the reference figure quoted on menu boards is 8,700 kJ a day for an average adult. That is roughly 2,080 kcal, so it is not a stricter target than the British 2,000. It is the same idea in a different unit. Switch to calories any time.
Weight
Kilograms
Kilograms by default, pounds if you want them, and no stones. Australia is metric and nobody here weighs themselves in stone, so we do not make you scroll past the option.
Language
GP, not doctor
Your medicines regulator is the TGA, not the MHRA or the FDA. Your prescriber is a GP. Urgent health advice is healthdirect on 1800 022 222. Small things, but they tell you whether a page was written for you or for someone else.
One kilocalorie is 4.184 kilojoules, which is the whole conversion. We wrote a proper guide to it, including why the numbers on the panel look so much bigger than the ones you see on overseas websites.
Weight management information online is overwhelmingly American, and American rules, brand names and insurance arrangements do not apply here. These pages are about what is actually true in Australia.
Everything else on these pages is education, and we have kept it that way on purpose. You will not find affiliate links to pharmacies here either.
For 24-hour health advice from a registered nurse, call healthdirect on 1800 022 222. For an emergency, call 000.
If you are struggling with food, your body or your mood, that is worth saying out loud to your GP rather than to an app. Butterfly Foundation runs a national helpline for eating disorders and body image on 1800 33 4673, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14.
Free, no app download, and your data stays yours. If you are on a GLP-1, the record you build here is the thing your GP will actually find useful at the next appointment.
