The solution was co-founded by a trained nutritionist and dietician who decided to help those suffering from food-related illnesses and malnutrition.

Lya Dietitian is a digital solution developed by Ugandan start-up Impact Nutrition Limited. It offers clinical nutrition services and enables users to adopt the right eating habits to maintain good health.

Its founding startup, Impact Nutrition Limited, was launched in 2017 by Nankunda Ronnah and Regina Nantege.

Impact Nutrition Company Limited’s mission is to “reduce the growing health burden of diet-related non-communicable diseases, obesity, and the persisting levels of undernutrition in Africa. Each person with a diet-related disease or malnutrition deserves access to appropriate diet therapy for a healthy life,”  the startup explains on its web platform. 

To successfully carry out this mission, in 2022, the startup launched its Android and iOS apps.  Once they set up their accounts, users are required to enter some information about their health and the goals they wish to achieve through Lya Dietitian (weight loss, blood pressure control, etc.). Based on this information, the start-up's nutrition and dietetics experts suggest adequate solutions. 

Users then begin to receive daily customized meals, with Lya Dietitian tracking the subscribers’ progress over time. It should be noted that the solution also provides nutritional advice and healthy products that can help achieve various health goals.

According to Play Store data, the Android version of the app has been downloaded over a hundred times.
