Kilow, A Saudi Health Tech Startup, Launches Offering The First All-In-One Weight Loss Platform

Kilow (www.kilow.app), a Saudi-born digital health startup, officially launches today, introducing a new, science-backed approach to weight loss. Built by local experts for local needs, the platform offers a seamless, all-in-one program that brings together lifestyle coaching, health tracking, and, where appropriate, access to modern medical treatments like GLP-1 medications.

Designed specifically for the Saudi population, the application is only available in Saudi Arabia and in Arabic, with other languages to be added at a later stage.Kilow helps users lose weight in a safe, sustainable, and personalized way, whether they need expert medical support, habit-building tools, or targeted intervention options.

A One-Stop Shop for Weight Loss in Saudi Arabia

With obesity and chronic lifestyle-related conditions on the rise across developed nations, more people are searching for effective, personalized solutions. Kilow is built to meet that need- in Saudi Arabia, for Saudi lifestyles. The platform removes the friction, guesswork, and overwhelm from weight loss by offering:

• Personalized nutrition, sleep, and exercise coaching
• At-home lab testing and real-time health tracking
• Home delivery of medications and health essentials
  Access to licensed medical consultations and optional GLP-1 medications
• A Saudi-focused lifestyle modification program built for long-term results

Getting started is simple: users download the app, fill in a few health details, and receive a free medical consultation. After approval, they choose from flexible, affordable plans ranging from one to six months.

Homegrown Innovation, Global Experience

Kilow is founded by digital health expert and four-time startup founder Fahed Al Essa, whose career spans five countries and two decades across healthcare, biotech, and digital health. But Kilow is rooted in Saudi Arabia-developed locally, and designed for the unique needs of Saudi users.

“This isn’t just another weight loss app,” said Al Essa. “It’s built by people who understand the Saudi lifestyle and the health challenges we face. For me, Kilow is deeply personal-after years of struggling with my weight, I finally feel like I’ve found a solution that works, and I wanted to share that with others.”

What makes Kilow stand out is its practical, culturally relevant approach to change.

“If you tell someone in the GCC to stop eating rice, they probably won’t. But if you teach them how to eat rice better, that’s where we specialize. We don’t want to overhaul your life. We give you small, practical tools-like having vinegar before your rice meal to reduce blood sugar spikes. Tiny changes. Big effect.”

 Looking Ahead

Kilow’s launch comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is placing wellness at the heart of Vision 2030. With regional expansion on the horizon, the company is also preparing to announce its first funding round in the coming weeks.

“We believe Saudi Arabia can lead the future of digital health,” said Al Essa. “With Kilow, we’re proud to show what local innovation can do- meeting real patient needs with real solutions.”

Future product plans include AI-powered meal tracking, personalized real-time coaching based on real-time activity and biometrics, and precision health features such as:

• Genetic and hormonal testing to personalize treatment paths
• Smart meal feedback using wearable glucose and activity data
• Adaptive habit coaching powered by behavioral science
  Voice-guided check-ins to improve engagement and emotional well-being
• Predictive health scoring to identify weight loss plateaus before they happen
