Question 1

What is VitaLoop?

Accepted Answer

VitaLoop is India's first kidney-care companion. It connects diet, fluids, labs, dialysis, medications and symptoms into a single loop — built on a real Indian renal food database and tuned to your CKD stage, so daily kidney care stops being guesswork.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone living with chronic kidney disease in India — across stages 1 to 5, on dialysis, or post-transplant — and the family members who help manage their care. Caregivers are first-class users, not an afterthought.

Question 3

Is VitaLoop a medical device or a replacement for my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. VitaLoop supports your care and helps you walk into appointments prepared, but it never replaces your nephrologist. Every alert says so plainly.

Question 4

Why does Indian food data matter?

Accepted Answer

Most kidney-diet apps run on the USDA database, so dal, roti, sabzi and rice simply don't have the right potassium and phosphorus values. VitaLoop is grounded in Indian nutrition data (INDB / IFCT 2017) with 2,000+ foods and 49 kidney-aware recipes.

Question 5

How does the red / yellow / green score work?

Accepted Answer

Every food gets a verdict tuned to your exact stage, informed by KDIGO 2024 guidance, with a plain-language reason like “High potassium for your stage.” You feel the cost of one item without doing daily-cap math.

Question 6

What's the salt-substitute warning?

Accepted Answer

Many Indian patients switch to “low-sodium salt,” rock salt or sendha namak thinking it's safer. These are mostly potassium chloride and can trigger life-threatening hyperkalemia. VitaLoop detects them by name and warns you — a safety feature no other app offers.

Question 7

Is my health data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your health data is never sold. Caregivers receive a limited digest, never your raw records, and access rules are built around you with server-side ownership checks.

Question 8

Does it work without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Food lookup, logging and tracking are offline-first, so the app keeps working through a four-hour dialysis session — exactly when other apps tend to fail.

Question 9

When can I use it?

Accepted Answer

VitaLoop is in active development for iOS, Android and web. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment early access opens.

Question 10

Will it cost anything?

Accepted Answer

Core kidney-care features are free to join the waitlist for. We'll be clear about any future paid features well before they arrive — no surprises.
