Member“I finally got on the app - and I LOVE it! So easy to use!”
Partner“This is 2000x what we had before. You’ve heard our team expressing very much like we got to get this out to everybody. We need to get it to all of our clients.”
Partner“It doesn’t really make sense if this isn’t foundational. It’s the right move for the company. I just think it gives so many advantages to the business and it fits so nicely with the other services we want to add in there as well.”
Member“The app itself is fun, so I can see why the engagement is high, because I think people are enjoying it. It’s so user friendly and the information you get back is very useful.”
Member“I was questioning if you were behind the scenes reviewing all of my logs and generating the advice… Alnu is just like our 1:1 sessions at the Brigham.”
Member“The more I track, the more personalized the responses to my questions are. The app knew I had diarrhea the past 2 days so when I logged my meal it gave me tips on how I could adjust the recipe to help improve my side effects!”
