AXA PPP Healthcare has launched a healthy eating diet and nutrition app to the corporate employee wellness market.
Spoon Guru gives users information and guidance to match their food choices to their health and wellbeing goals – for example, cutting down on carbs or optimising their vitamin intake,
The app also offers access to over 17,000 recipes to help users make meal choices tailored to their dietary preferences and needs.
And, for those with food-related health issues, allergies or intolerances, Spoon Guru can help ensure the foods they choose will meet their special requirements.
The service is available to employees of larger sized employers with healthcare cover from AXA PPP Healthcare.
A premium version of the Spoon Guru service is also available, at no additional cost, to employees of companies that have an AXA PPP healthcare Proactive Health Wellbeing Programme with Health Coaching Pathway in place and who have health risks, identified by an AXA PPP healthcare physiologist, that could be addressed through their diet.
“AXA PPP healthcare’s Proactive Health team is excited to be working with Spoon Guru to meet the nutrition needs of our customers and further personalise their health and wellbeing journey, said AXA PPP Healthcare’s Head of Proactive Health, Chris Tomkins.
“Their smart technology will allow our customers to scan food on the go using their phone and, because they can personalise their dietary profile, Spoon Guru can support further with relevant recipes, ingredient lists and helpful dos and don’ts.”
And the Chief Executive of Spoon Guru, Markus Stripf added: “We are delighted to partner with AXA PPP to offer members the benefits of Spoon Guru’s game changing technology. Sixty-four percent of the world’s population now actively exclude foodstuffs from their diet and many are actively trying to make healthier choices.
“This means consumers need a trusted and accurate route to find food and recipes to suit their specific needs to help them accomplish their goals. Spoon Guru provides just that.”
