Our team
Healthy living and helping others is our passion! You can easily call us health freaks. Bringing out the best in others, that's what makes us happy! That is why we developed NewU. An app for all your health goals, whether it's nutrition, sleep, exercise, relaxation or quitting smoking! An app that is easy to use and fun too. Oh, and all the information on the NewU is scientifically based. Let's get started together!
