The App Store seems to be flooded with weight loss apps for adults, but what about kids? Since the obesity epidemic a continued concern for young consumers, it’s an area that is beginning to be explored, and Kurbo Health has created the first ever diet-focused app for 8-18-year-olds. Although some are wondering if weight loss apps for children are appropriate, Kurbo insists they focus on making healthy choices and incorporating physical activity into everyday life rather than regimented calorie counting. Using a traffic light-esque system where healthy foods are labeled “green” and processed junk food is labeled “red,” the app says they have an 85% success rate in lowering a child’s BMI.
