How JoyHealth ensured that diabetes didn’t mean giving up the foods we love

It started with a simple question: Why should diabetes mean giving up the foods we love?

From that pain point came JoyHealth — an AI-powered companion app that’s reimagining how Indians manage diabetes, one meal at a time. For the founder, the mission was personal. Tired of generic advice and black-and-white food lists, they envisioned a solution that adapts to the user — not the other way around.

JoyHealth doesn’t just track what you eat. It understands it. By using phenotype-specific data and AI to predict how your body responds to different meals, the app offers clear, actionable ways to reduce sugar spikes. For example? Swap 50% of the potato in your Pav Bhaji with carrots to cut the glycemic load — without killing the joy of the dish.

Users report up to 1% HbA1c reduction in a year and a 37% improvement in daily sugar ranges. But the real impact? Regaining control. A homemaker in her 30s called it her “pocket health coach.” A teacher in her 50s said it finally made diabetes manageable without fear.

JoyHealth isn’t just a health app. It’s a mindset shift — from restriction to informed choice.

Because managing diabetes shouldn’t mean living without joy.
