@pipe_abello One of the most useful apps these days at PH. Congrats! Any plans to port it to other platforms?

@pipe_abello @bogomep thank you Bogo!
Other platforms as in Android? Yes, soon!
Congrats on the launch!
@pipe_abello how do you handle cases where FDA and NHS actually disagree on the same ingredient?

@pipe_abello @denious hi Denis! This is a great question; we communicate that to the user. We also have been identifying the ones that the FDA doesn’t have a posture on, in general herbal or supplements (arnica for example), and we haven’t found other sources yet to be able to confidently say if it’s safe or not to use. So we communicate that, but I’d love to be able to have an opinion. Ideas?
@josefina_van_thienen1 That makes sense :)
Maybe you could show a “confidence level” (like strong / limited / unknown evidence) instead of forcing a clear answer. Especially for supplements where data is unclear — I think that would build more trust.

@josefina_van_thienen1 @denious The confidence level idea is really smart. We deal with something similar in our food app and showing users when data is uncertain builds way more trust than pretending everything is clear cut.

I was wondering what type of barcodes would work? and can it work globally?
if so, how do you make sure you get the data for most products

@ahmad_bassime hi Ahmad, Oli works globally, we are actively building our own database with barcodes from many countries. Also our AI is capable of identifying ingredients from a picture so we also use that in our analysis!
Biteme: Calorie Calculator
Congrats on the launch! This is such a good idea. We built something similar for food with Biteme (AI scanning for calories) so I know how tricky getting the recognition right is. Love that it's personalized by trimester. One thought, a landing page or website outside the App Store would probably help a lot with SEO and conversions. Right now the only link goes straight to the App Store which can lose people who want to learn more first. Are you planning to expand beyond pregnancy into general food safety?
