Meet Maya, your food coach
Maya knows your meals, your limits and your plan — and answers in two or three lines. Here is what she can do, and what she will never do.

Today the HealthAware coach gets a name and a face: Maya.
Maya is one tap away in the app, and on your Apple Watch. You can ask her anything about your own eating, sleep and activity, and the answer comes from your data — not from a generic nutrition article.
Things to ask Maya
- “Why was lunch flagged?”
- “How did my sodium this week compare with last week?”
- “What could I have for dinner that keeps me under my saturated-fat limit?”
- “Log my usual oatmeal for breakfast.”
- “Swap Thursday’s dinner in my plan for something with beans.”
Answers are short on purpose: one clear takeaway, and at most a couple of points about what worked and what didn’t. If you want more, ask “why?” and she’ll go deeper.
Maya asks before she changes anything
Maya can log meals, fix a misread, add lab results and edit your meal plan. Every one of those shows you a card first — what exactly will change — and nothing happens until you tap Approve.
Maya remembers, and you can see what she remembers
Tell Maya you don’t eat pork, or that you’re cutting back on cheese, and she’ll keep it in mind. Everything she remembers is listed under What the coach remembers, and you can delete any of it — or all of it — at any time.
What Maya will never do
Maya is an AI, and every conversation says so. She will not:
- give advice about medication or doses,
- diagnose a condition or tell you whether a symptom is serious,
- suggest extreme diets.
If you describe emergency symptoms like chest pain, she will tell you to contact emergency services first.
Maya checks in
If you turn it on, Maya can send a short note when a meal breaks your plan or the day is running over a limit — a few a day at most, never during your quiet hours. You choose how often in Profile → Notifications & reminders.
