AccuGo was designed to ease the day to day management of the PKU diet by providing a quick and easy way to track foods eaten. After my son was born and diagnosed with Classical PKU, I wanted to improve our speed and accuracy with calculating the daily food intake. Now used by thousands around the world.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder in which the body can't process part of a protein called phenylalanine (phe).
This app is part of our journey with PKU, come join the journey with us!

This app was nothing short of life-changing for our family. The database is quite extensive now as we add our own foods and our own PHE. We appreciate that there is ability to add more than one patient to the app. The ability to send data to our Dieticians via email is incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this app to anyone trying to calculate phenylalanine and store data quickly. Keep in mind the within this app is also accessible when you are off-line. Amazing.
