If this is an emergency, do not use Aliqa. Call your local emergency number. The numbers are in the table below.

Aliqa is an educational tool

Aliqa helps you notice patterns in how you eat. It analyses photos of your meals and gives AI feedback aligned with public guidance: the NHS Eatwell Guide, the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate, the EAT-Lancet Commission, the NOVA classification, the UK FSA Nutrient Profiling Model, and the ICQC 2015 consensus on glycemic index and glycemic load. Naming a framework here is not an endorsement of Aliqa by its authors or by the body that published it.

Aliqa is not a medical device. It is not registered or certified as one in the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States, Singapore, or anywhere else. It does not give medical advice, a diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not meant for any medical purpose.

Aliqa does not replace a clinician. Scores, tags, and suggestions come from AI. They are approximate. They can miss hidden ingredients, oils, sugar, sauces, how the food was prepared, your portion, your health, your medications, your allergies, and your metabolism. They are general information for a typical healthy adult. They are not a care plan, a prescription, or a diet protocol.

Using the Service does not create a doctor-patient or dietitian-client relationship with us, our staff, our advisers, or our suppliers.

Do not make medical decisions from Aliqa

Do not use the Service:

  • to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease or condition;
  • to choose a dose of insulin, a diabetes medicine, or any other medicine;
  • to manage type 1 or type 2 diabetes, low or high blood sugar, or any condition that needs a precise carbohydrate or glycemic count;
  • to manage a food allergy, an intolerance, coeliac disease, or any condition that requires you to avoid an ingredient. Aliqa cannot reliably see hidden allergens in a photo. Check labels yourself;
  • to manage kidney disease, heart disease, gout, or any other condition that needs close dietary supervision;
  • to plan a diet for pregnancy or breastfeeding, where needs differ from a typical adult;
  • to coach or supervise someone else's diet. Aliqa is for your own awareness.

If any of that applies to you, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before you use the Service, and before you change how you eat because of something you saw in the App.

Eating disorders

A tool that scores food and ranks days can be unhelpful, and sometimes harmful, if you have a history of disordered eating.

Please do not use Aliqa if:

  • you are in treatment or recovery for anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, or any other eating disorder;
  • a clinician has told you not to use food-tracking or calorie-tracking apps, or to limit body-image content;
  • you are under an eating-disorder service.

If you are struggling with disordered eating in the United Kingdom, contact Beat at beateatingdisorders.org.uk, call 0808 801 0677 (England), 0808 801 0432 (Scotland), 0808 801 0433 (Wales), or 0808 801 0434 (Northern Ireland), or speak to your GP. In the European Union, contact your national eating-disorder service or your doctor. In an emergency, use the numbers below.

Aliqa is for healthy adults

By using the Service you confirm that you are at least 18, that you are already healthy enough to adjust your own diet without supervision, and that you are not relying on the Service to manage a medical condition. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or a registered dietitian before you sign up.

What the AI sees

The AI identifies foods and portion sizes from your photo or description, assigns tags (for example protein, fibre, high glycemic index, processed), and scores the day on three dimensions, each from 1 to 10: Glycemic Balance, Meal Composition, and Food Quality.

The AI does not weigh your food, count calories or macros, detect allergens with the reliability of a label or a lab test, or see your medical history, medications, blood glucose, microbiome, or genes. It does not replace a dietitian, a doctor, or a pharmacist.

If the analysis is wrong, edit the meal in the App and the score will update. That is also how you ask for a human review of an automated result.

Emergencies

Do not use Aliqa for a medical emergency.
