Coming with version 7.5
Understanding lab results
From lab report to plate – in one click.
Food Secrets explains every value in plain words, with the normal range of your lab. Then the app shows which foods contain a lot of the related nutrients – and, if you want, sorts your food ranking by nutrients you choose. The report stays encrypted on your phone.
Screens from version 7.5, with a made-up sample report.
How it works
Three steps, one click
1 · Capture the report
Photograph, scan or choose the PDF of your report – or type the values.
2 · Understand
Values your lab marks as low or high come first – with your lab's range and one clear sentence.
3 · On the plate
If you want, one click sorts the food ranking by nutrients you choose. From there, straight to recipes and weekly plan.
From lab value straight to the kitchen
For every suggested food, one click on “…” opens the same actions as the food table:
Find recipes
Find recipes with this food and add them to the app.
Into the weekly plan
Plan the food for a day straight away.
Onto the shopping list
One click puts it on the list for your next shop.
Save and compare
Save it as a favourite or compare it with another food.
What you see
The essentials at a glance
One value, one sentence
Your lab's range, the distance to it, and foods that contain a lot of the related nutrient.
EU-authorised claims
The EU-authorised health claims in their exact wording, with foods rich in the nutrient concerned. They apply in general, not to your value.
Sorted by nutrients
On request, Analysis sorts your foods by nutrients you choose – with a switch back.
Straight to kitchen and plan
One click on “…”: find recipes, plan it, add it to the shopping list, save or compare.
Safe and transparent
What you can rely on
Understand, don’t guess
The app turns your values into foods, recipes and a plan. Medical questions belong with your doctor.
Status from your lab
“Low” or “high” comes only from your report. Where it has no range, the app shows a general one for comparison only – with no status.
Every list with a source
You see which nutrients the list is sorted by – with a source.
Your data stays with you
Encrypted on your phone, only with consent, deleted with one click.
Your data, your choice
You work with lab results?
For physicians, clinics, nutrition counselling and laboratories, a separate page shows what the lab feature brings them – and what a free pilot looks like.
Good to know
Who it is for and what it does
- “My lab” is for adults who want to learn about healthy eating; not for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Does not replace treatment. If you are under treatment or take medication, talk to your doctor first.
- Food Secrets does not diagnose and does not replace medical advice.
FAQ – lab results in the Food Secrets app
Does the app make a diagnosis?
No – it explains what your values measure. The status (“low”, “in range”, “high”) comes from your lab; the app explains the value in plain words and shows foods rich in the related nutrient. Medical questions belong with your doctor.
Which lab reports can I use?
Photos, scans and PDFs of paper lab reports, in ten languages. Anything the app cannot read with certainty, it shows you to confirm. At launch these are blood values such as blood count, iron, vitamins, blood lipids, blood sugar, CRP and minerals. Microbiome tests follow with our lab partner.
Where are my lab values stored?
Encrypted on your phone, in a separate vault per account. Values you type or paste from a report do not go to our servers, into statistics or to third parties. Microbiome results from our lab partner are fetched encrypted through our server, which neither stores nor logs them. You can share only if you trigger it yourself. You can delete everything at any time.
When will the feature be available?
With version 7.5 of the app, starting with blood values. Microbiome tests follow later with our lab partner. We have made the legal classification ourselves, following the EU guidance MDCG 2019-11; an independent legal review will follow.
Can I share the values with my nutrition counsellor?
That is planned: you pass on an overview of your values, the suitable foods and your plan yourself. Later, a direct link to your professional is planned too – always with your consent and revocable at any time. The overview is a PDF file without encryption – you decide whom you give it to.
