Welcome, Clinicians!

No, this is a mobile app available on iOS and Android. You can download it from the App Store or Google play.   

The flok app is completely free for clinicians, patients, and caregivers to download and use.   

As the flok app is free to download and use, we have no temporary or demo accounts. Once you create an account, you can create multiple profiles (e.g. one for each condition) to explore the app with your patients.

Each user has a unique account tied to a personal or work email address. If you are clinician with a metabolic condition, you can set up a personal account with a separate email address.   

You will not have direct access to patient information. Patients and caregivers can choose to share specific reports with you.   

No, your patients can share reports with you to facilitate communication and inform care plans, but the flok app is not a direct communication tool.  

HMP users will be able to import foods, recipes, favorites, and some historical records by mid-2025. HMP will be discontinued by the end of 2025.  

 No, participation in research is voluntary for patients and caregivers. They can opt out in or out at any time after we've launched the research program in Q2 2025.

 No, clinician accounts are excluded from research. We may occasionally request your professional input.   

Data is sourced through collaboration with USDA and GMDI, amino acid analyses, and coordination with food manufacturers to continually grow and improve nutrition information provided in the flok app.    

Unrounded protein counts are obtained from the food manufacturer or through flok’s amino acid analysis program and used to examine the top phenylalanine (phe)-containing ingredient in a product. Phe to protein ratios are estimated for phe content, then applied to values for leucine, lysine, methionine, valine, and isoleucine. Read more about flok’s food science approach.  

Yes, within the app you can fill out a New Food Request form using the Eat function. Use this link too.   

You can create demo profiles to explore the app and learn how its functions support patient care. Understanding how the app works will help you explain its benefit to patients and caregivers. By tracking diet, feelings, and activity on a daily basis at home, patients and caregivers can build comprehensive health reports to share with you in clinic.  

Play will feature fun games, challenges, and events to connect community members. App users will be notified when this function becomes available.   

Patients and caregivers can record moods and symptoms and include them in their reports alongside diet and activity. The reports will provide insights to better understand feelings over time and their interactions with overall health.   

Patients and caregivers can share reports with you as a pdf attachment through email or other electronic communication. They can choose to include any combination of the Eat, Feel, and Move sections in the report.  

 Patients and caregivers can record lab results using the Feel function of the app and include these results in reports. This allows you and your patients to review blood test results in the context of diet, activity, feelings, and more.  

Not at present.

 During Open Beta, no data entered by users is used for research. We expect to launch our research consent process in Q2 2025. At this time, all current users will be asked to either opt in or out of internal flok research. Consenting to this research will allow flok to use their deidentified data in internal research in a secure and private environment. All research is governed by flok’s Data Governance Principles. New users who create flok app accounts after the onset of research consent will have the opportunity to opt in during account setup. All users can opt in or opt out of research at any point. Profiles under clinician accounts will not be included in research.
