Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, resulting in the buildup of toxins in the body. It is often a result of other health issues like high blood pressure and/or diabetes. As it is a gradually progressing disease, once diagnosed it is important to take precautionary measures to try to slow down the disease progression and minimise the symptom effects. This includes to control blood pressure and diabetes, and eat a kidney-friendly diet. With CKD effecting more than 700 million people globally, myjoju is here to help manage the disease, regardless of the stage of CKD progression.

myjoju supports you by offering personalised daily CKD nutrition targets and meal planning, and logging/tracking features to keep real-time and historic track of these CKD-related nutrients. Although different from person to person, a kidney-friendly diet might include limiting the intake of e.g. protein, sodium, phosphorus or potassium. myjoju also provides educational resources, kidney-friendly recipe ideas, and (soon to come) monitoring of key health markers. In essence: we are here to provide knowledge and support for a kidney-healthy diet and promote overall kidney health.

Yes! As many users have a range of lifestyle and health related goals and objectives (incl. weight), myjoju has been developed to allow you to track a variety of parameters. Just like with the CKD specific nutrients, the target can either be provided manually or generated in accordance with internationally recognised guidelines based on the user’s profile.

The myjoju App allows you to track a set of macro- and micronutrients, both directly related to keeping a kidney-friendly diet, and for general health and wellness purposes. Each ingredient that is represented in our food and recipe databases has a complete and validated nutrient list, providing you with clear and accurate measurements for meal planning and consumption logging.

The nutrients currently available in the myjoju App include: protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, carbohydrates, sugar, total fat, saturated fat, dietary fibre and cholesterol. On top of that, the energy (kcal) amount is included.

Try logging your last meal and see for yourself!

Yes, it is very simple to add a glass of water to your myjoju consumption logging/tracking. You will find the “Water Consumption” on the home screen, right above your food log. In addition, myjoju automatically registers and tracks all the fluid volumes contributed via normal food and drinks consumption, which is specifically important to people on dialysis.

myjoju only uses well-validated sources for the nutrition information in its databases, like reputable academic research institutions and government departments. This is fully in line with our company’s “Reliability” value, i.e. to never compromise on the quality of the products and services we offer.
