Abstract: Mobile health technologies are increasingly transforming healthcare delivery by enabling personalized, accessible, and cost-effective services. This study presents the design, development, and evaluation of Healthy Food, an Android-based nutrition consultation platform that connects users with qualified nutritionists through a digital environment. The application integrates personalized nutrition guidance, online communication, health education resources, and nutrition plan management. The system was developed using Android Studio and Firebase following the waterfall software development methodology. Feasibility analysis, system design, implementation, and testing were conducted to evaluate operational effectiveness. Results indicate that the platform enhances accessibility to nutrition advice, reduces consultation barriers, and supports preventive healthcare practices. The findings highlight the growing significance of mobile applications in promoting healthy lifestyles and improving healthcare communication.
