Q. What apps and services do overweight and obese people who want to be healthier / lose weight want that don't exist?

One of the biggest challenges facing people who are overweight or obese and want to become healthier and lose weight is the lack of available tools, services, and apps that can help them achieve their goals. Many existing apps focus on counting calories, logging activity levels, or tracking meals -- which can help with short-term results but may not provide enough guidance to promote long-term health improvements.

Fortunately, there are a few promising new app ideas out there for overweight/obese people looking to turn their lives around – but some have yet to launch due to a lack of funding or support. Here are some examples:
1) Health coaches: Mobile health coaches (via video chat) could provide personalized advice from fitness experts at any hour of the day. They could create plans tailored specifically for the individual's needs and lifestyle – helping them adjust quickly and effectively towards achieving their goal weight without feeling overwhelmed by too much information at once. Plus this service would still be cost effective since users pay only when they need it as opposed to having an ongoing membership fee required with most regular gym memberships.
2) Meal planning assistant: Instead of just counting calories each meal, what if an app was designed specifically for those trying to lose weight? This service could suggest recipes based on dietary preferences while taking into account portion size control—providing a personalized diet plan designed just for those trying to reach their target weight loss goal in mind.
3) Virtual physician visits: For more serious cases where obesity carries life threatening risks such as diabetes or high cholesterol levels – virtual doctor visits could be used as another way of keeping up with body changes over time without needing expensive trips back-and-forth between physical clinics that may limit progress due easier access given its convenience factor alone might lead people seeking highly specialized advice from experts on any part of one’s wellness journey being able within reach even if limited medically in certain geographic regions whether domestically placed overseas etcetera ...
4) Fitness social network: A fitness social platform like MyFitnessPal that focuses on connecting individuals who are struggling with similar issues so they can share tips/tricks/advice together - has been seen recently take over traditional meetup groups worldwide so why not go further?
