Digital Health Diary

Digital Health Diary is a digital therapeutics (DTx) software module developed by Mahalo Health, designed to collect patient behavior data at scale and support personalized lifestyle recommendations. It is intended for digital health programs that need to track patient activities such as diet, sleep, exercise, weight, and biomarkers — both through connected devices and manual entry interfaces.

The platform is built around the premise that behavior change begins with consistent tracking. Connected devices such as smartwatches, smart scales, and continuous glucose monitors reduce the data entry burden on patients by automatically syncing data. For patients without access to connected devices, the software provides purpose-built interfaces designed to capture common behaviors in the fewest number of taps.
