Update Personal Data

Step 1: Access your own profile from the top right-hand corner of the Landing Page.

Step 2: On the Profile Page, enter the following information:

  1. Nickname – You may consider using your nickname to identify yourself and do not need to use your real name if you are concerned about confidentiality.
  2. Birth Month-Year – We collect data based on what we need. For this information, we only need to know the month and year that you were born in for the purpose of calculating age-dependent health metrics. Hence, we do not need to collect the day when you were born.
  3. Gender – This is equally important because some heath metrics and the recommended threshold is gender dependent.
  4. Mobile Number – This information is for the purpose of sending WhatsApp alerts if the health metrics threshold alert is turned on. Without this information, the WhatsApp service will not be able to work.

Step 3: After entering the profile, save your entries before you exit from this page. You should see the message Profile updated.
