Nutrilog and 22otters Announce Strategic Alliance - 10/26/2015

Portola Valley, CA and San Mateo, CA – 10/26/2015 – Nutrilog, a European leader in nutrition and wellness software solutions, and 22otters, a dynamic, mobile health engagement and clinical content software company, today announced a strategic alliance to develop an evidence-based nutrition and wellness end-to-end solution that allows corporations to assess the efficiency, impact and success of their wellness programs while enabling at-risk employees to avoid health conditions that may well affect their daily lives.

Through this agreement, Nutrilog and 22otters will offer their technologies in an integrated solution, named EatwellRx™, that addresses employers’ need to provide a unique, interactive and seamless experience to their employees to engage them in improving their overall wellness with periodic body composition, nutritional and physical activity assessments.

This partnership comes simultaneously with the launch of the SaaS version of Nutrilog’s flagship nutrition software, which enables healthcare professionals to perform nutritional assessments and provide specific and individualized diet recommendations to their patients (end users e.g., embracing employee use case) based on their own characteristics, such as biometric and body composition data, food allergies and contraindications, food preferences and aversions, and physical activity.

22otters has produced CareSparks, a platform that actively assesses, coaches and retains mobile health application users by providing an engaging experience through the seamless integration of animated graphics and voice-enabled technology. With the integration of CareSparks technology in the EatwellRx™ solution, the app literally talks employees through their body composition analysis and tells them which diet behavior would be best, based on choices available in the employer’s cafeteria that day. The EatwellRx™ solution is unique in that it is customized for the employer and personalized for the employee. Diet tracking is made more convenient as well, since employees can quickly tell the app what choices they made after each meal.

“When we decided to offer the EatwellRx™ solution to employees at their workplace, we knew that the major challenge would be about engaging and retaining users, where many nutrition initiatives had failed before,” said François Recorbet, co-founder and CEO of Nutrilog. “Therefore, working with a knowledgeable and reliable partner in the field of mobile health engagement, such as 22otters, made total sense. It would reduce our time to market and be key to our success.”

“Partnering with Nutrilog was an easy decision for us; their leading-edge body-composition technology enables us to adapt our mobile dialog platform to important diet and wellness uses, while opening doors in the European market as well,” said Bob Quinn, CEO of 22otters. “A key need in the employer wellness space is a physical measure that is convenient to take and a driver of effective coaching interactions, goal-achievement assessment and even group gamification, and Nutrilog offers a uniquely effective solution to that problem.”

About 140 million adult Americans are overweight or obese. Obesity is affecting 30% of the world’s population. Nutrilog is determined to join the fight against this ramping epidemic that costs the American economy over $250 billion a year. Beside schools, the workplace is another place where awareness can be raised and diet habits changed for a better health outcome. Nutrilog will be demonstrating the EatwellRx™ platform at the Health Tech Conference in Santa Clara on October 27-28^th.
