Start your health journey with Naluri – now on airasia super app

As airasia continues its evolution as a lifestyle brand with the launch of the super app, airasia aims to offer its users a holistic experience that encompasses their wellbeing and wellness needs. 

In addition to launching airasia Health, the first-of-its-kind digital platform in Asean offering end-to-end medical services in November 2020, we are taking a step further by partnering with Naluri, a clinically-proven digital health service provider, to connect users to state-of-the-art tools to help them get healthier, starting with the Naluri Food Journal, part of the Nutrition Improvement Program that’s available for free to all airasia users. 

The Naluri Food Journal makes food tracking easier than ever before – all it takes is a snap (of your food, that is!) Going beyond traditional meal logs, Naluri delivers AI-assisted food ratings and expert nutrition and diet advice from Naluri’s team of registered dietitians to get airasia users healthier. This exciting new feature has now rolled out to millions of airasia super app users in Malaysia. 

We caught up with Azran Osman-Rani, Co-Founder and CEO of Naluri as he shares how important diet and nutrition is, and how the Naluri Food Journal can help users get healthier, one meal at a time.

1. Hi Azran, can you tell us more about Naluri and the Naluri Food Journal?

Naluri is a digital health service provider that helps people develop healthier habits to achieve their health goals. It’s an app-based coaching program that pairs each person with a team of experts who can support them on a personalised coaching plan with the necessary digital tools to achieve results. We’re talking health experts that support the physical and the mental health of the individual because both are important - clinical psychologists, dietitians, medical advisors, fitness experts and more. 

I co-founded the company in 2017 with Dr Jeremy Ting and Dr Hariyati Abdul Majid to radically improve support for people dealing with chronic health conditions, and to figure out how we can harness technology to address both physical and mental health holistically, because science has proved they’re two sides of the same coin. We know that if people want to get healthier, they’re four times more likely to achieve their health goals if they have professional support, but that’s expensive. Naluri democratizes access to these services, so that everyone can have coaches, literally in their pocket!

The Food Journal is part of that Naluri experience – and now part of the airasia experience, too! It’s a digital tool that not only makes meal tracking easy, but also gives each person access to personalized diet and nutrition advice directly from one of our registered dietitians. Food plays such a critical part in our health that any improvement, no matter how big or small, is a step in the right direction. As part of the Nutrition Improvement Program, all airasia users get free access to the Naluri Food Journal and support from registered dietitians to help them identify their eating patterns and build healthier habits over time. 

2. Who are the dietitians and health coaches behind Naluri and how integral are they to the brand?

We have an incredible team of health experts who make up the Naluri coaching team. They include clinical psychologists, counsellors, fitness coaches, pharmacists, medical advisors, and, as you know, dietitians registered with the relevant professional bodies.

They play an integral role in helping people achieve their health goals. And since every person is different, they provide the personalized coaching experience that helps people feel supported and accountable so that they achieve real results.  

3. What are some of the success stories that you can share with us?

As you would expect, we’ve had members who lost weight by making healthier food choices, sometimes incredible amounts that resulted in impressive physical transformations. But what never gets old is the transformations in confidence. What people sometimes don’t realise is how quickly one healthy habit can snowball into a series of health improvements that transcend their original goals. We’ve seen people who’ve reduced their risks or symptoms of serious chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease, they sleep better, have less symptoms of depression and anxiety, they thrive. 

Coaching is the support and guidance to make that happen, but it’s remarkable what people can do when they prioritise their own health. We want to keep making that possible.

To get started with the Naluri Food Journal, all you have to do is launch your airasia super app and click on your Account, Mini Apps and find Naluri Food Journal. Follow the steps below to start using the feature:

Naluri’s focus on long-term success through evidence-based behavioural science methods resonates well with airasia’s internal wellness initiative.

In August 2020, we launched Allstars Health Coach backed by the Naluri app for our Allstars and we have seen that Naluri has helped to reach their wellness goals.

“Today we are proud to introduce our first wellness feature on airasia super app for everyone with the Nutrition Improvement Program featuring the Naluri Food Journal. It is now more important than ever to pay attention to our health, and we would like to play our part in helping millions of our users to get on board their wellness journey with us.  

This first mini app integration is a milestone in our super app journey where we aim to collaborate with developers and the start up community to give them visibility in our ecosystem and enhance their capabilities through unified sign on, optimised payment options, and access to our logistics platform. Stay tuned for more Naluri functionality to be integrated into our ecosystem as well as welcoming more mini-apps to our platform.” Pablo Sanz Salcedo, Chief Technology Officer of airasia super app.
