About

Akoma

Read full description

Built for Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and every GLP-1 medication โ€” a calm, private tracker for your whole journey. Not another fitness app that shouts at you. What you track โ€ข Meals โ€” point your camera at a plate and Akoma reads it, estimates the macros, and lets you adjust the portion before it saves. No fiddly food databases. โ€ข Injections โ€” your pen, your dose, your site rotation. One tap to log, held beautifully so you never have to remember. โ€ข Water โ€” tap once for 250 ml, twice for 500, or a custom amount. โ€ข Weight โ€” log it on your own schedule. Akoma shows the arc, not just today's number. โ€ข Mood and side effects โ€” short, optional. Never nagged. What you get back โ€ข Today โ€” one clean card for where you are right now. โ€ข Trends โ€” weeks of weight, macros, water, and streaks drawn as a story. โ€ข Sunday recap โ€” a calm weekly summary written for you, not at you. โ€ข Home Screen widgets โ€” your last injection and today's water, always in reach. โ€ข Apple Health โ€” reads your steps and weight, writes your water back. Works offline Log meals, injections, water, and weight even without signal. Everything syncs silently the moment you're back online. Privacy that's actually different Your meal photos are processed once to read the plate and then discarded โ€” never stored long-term, never used to train AI models, never sold. No ad SDKs. No tracking pixels. No cross-app identifiers. Compare that to apps that track your identity or sell usage data to third parties. Akoma doesn't. What we don't do No social feeds. No shame fonts. No red numbers for missed days. No "friends who lost 10 lb this week." Works with semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza), dulaglutide (Trulicity), orforglipron, retatrutide, and all other GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 medications โ€” injectable and oral. โ€” We're a small team who've been on one of these pens. If Akoma isn't earning its place, write to hello@akomahealthcare.com โ€” we read every message. Premium. Two auto-renewing plans โ€” monthly or annual.

Stride is the companion app for everyone on a Stride Pharmacy treatment plan โ€” built to help you stay on track, stay safe, and stay in touch with your care team between deliveries. It's included free with every Stride treatment, and ready to use as soon as your order is confirmed โ€” no need to wait for your medication to arrive. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH STRIDE Scan โ€” Log meals in seconds. Snap a photo or scan a barcode and Stride does the rest, so you're not stuck searching food databases. Track โ€” Keep an eye on your daily water and protein intake as you go, building a clear picture of your habits without end-of-day guesswork. Weigh โ€” Connect a Bluetooth smart scale and your weight syncs automatically, so your progress chart stays current without typing in a single number. Nudge โ€” Get reminders that fit your routine. Stride learns your patterns and nudges you when it's useful, not on a fixed schedule that doesn't suit you. Support โ€” Something not feel right? Message our GPhC-registered pharmacist team directly through Ask Stride, with a clear path to the wider clinical team if you need more support. If you're on an injectable treatment, Stride also helps you map and rotate injection sites over a four-week cycle, so you always know where โ€” and when โ€” you last injected. Your monthly progress, including your BMI trend and treatment notes, is shared securely with your prescriber to support your ongoing care โ€” so every review is based on real data, not guesswork. Stride is for existing Stride Pharmacy patients. You'll need an active treatment plan to use the app โ€” visit stridepharmacy.co.uk to get started. Stride Pharmacy is a pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (registration number 9013195), overseen by a Superintendent Pharmacist.
