Everything you need to know to use our ANAK ni Merly app.
A.N.A.K. ni Merly, which stands for Alalay sa Nutrisyon at Kalusugan (Assistive Nutrition And Knowledge), is a hyper-personalized digital companion for Filipinos that provides dietary insights specifically calibrated for a senior citizen with pre-diabetes and high cholesterol, simulating the advice of a caring son ("Manung P-po"). The app features a powerful food search bar, a quick reference guide for common Filipino staples, and a side-by-side food comparison tool that visually translates sugar content into easy-to-understand teaspoon equivalents. The core feature, the "Sugar Clock," analyzes entire meals, predicting the blood sugar impact curve, flagging crash risks, and detailing how much of a daily sugar limit a meal consumes. All analysis and advice are delivered in the warm, familial persona of "Manung P-po," often with an audio playback option and deep localization, including a default Ilocano mode with mixed-dialect AI, along with accessibility tools like a large font size slider. Please note: The application is currently in a Beta phase and is strictly for educational and entertainment purposes, not a substitute for professional medical care.
