If you’ve ever been frustrated by diets that just don’t fit your lifestyle, you’re not alone. But now, Kilow, a promising Saudi health tech startup, is changing the game with its newly launched Arabic-language weight loss app—and it’s not your typical “eat salad, skip rice” kind of program. This app is real, practical, and rooted in the Saudi way of life.
A Personal Mission Turned Innovative Solution
Founded by Fahed Al Essa, a seasoned entrepreneur in the digital health space, Kilow is more than just another wellness app. It’s a project born from personal experience. After struggling with weight loss himself, Al Essa wanted to create a solution that would actually work for people in Saudi Arabia.
“This isn’t just another weight loss app. It’s built by people who get the Saudi lifestyle and the challenges we face,” Al Essa said at the launch.
What Makes Kilow Different?
Kilow’s approach to weight loss goes beyond calorie-counting and basic exercise tips. It delivers a fully integrated health solution, combining science-backed strategies with everyday practicality.
Here’s what users get:
- âś… Free initial medical consultation
- âś… Customized monthly plans, tailored to Saudi habits
- âś… GLP-1-based weight loss medications delivered to your door
- âś… Home lab test kits for easy diagnostics
- âś… Smart tracking tools for food, sleep, movement, and more
Al Essa explained the importance of cultural sensitivity:
“We don’t tell people to cut rice out completely—that’s unrealistic. Instead, we recommend small changes, like taking vinegar before meals to manage blood sugar. These tips work without turning your lifestyle upside down.”
Built for Now, Ready for What’s Next
Kilow’s launch comes at the perfect moment. Saudi Arabia is undergoing a wellness revolution, with gyms on every corner and an increasing focus on preventive healthcare under Vision 2030. It’s clear the Kingdom is ready for an app like Kilow.
But this is just the beginning. Future features include:
- AI-powered meal feedback
- Wearable device integration
- Biometric-based coaching and predictive health scoring
- Hormonal and genetic testing modules
All aimed at helping users beat the infamous “weight loss plateau” before it even hits.
What’s Next for Kilow?
Expansion is already on the horizon. Kilow plans to move beyond Saudi Arabia into neighboring MENA markets—and yes, a funding round is in the works. With a smart, scalable, and culturally-relevant platform, Kilow is positioning itself as a true regional leader in digital health.
So, if you’re tired of cookie-cutter diet apps that don’t understand your world, Kilow might just be the fresh start you’ve been waiting for.
