About Ms. Fortunato-Webb

Inés’s role is the evidence backbone of this publication. The category of calorie-tracking-app coverage on the open web is overwhelmingly built on vendor press releases, single-vendor “studies,” and unreviewed marketing claims. Inés’s job is to map, classify, and grade every piece of evidence that this publication relies on. When the publication says “the most accurate consumer photo tracker is X,” she is the person who has verified that the underlying study (a) exists in a peer-reviewed venue, (b) was not funded by the vendor whose product it evaluates, and (c) has been independently replicated or has a documented replication attempt in progress.

She joined the publication on September 15, 2025, two weeks after Annika and one week after Tomás. The recruitment sequence reflects the editorial logic: scientific direction first, statistical methodology second, evidence synthesis third. The three together are the editorial team that signs off Methodology v3.2.

Credentials in detail

Pre-publication work

Four years as a Cochrane Crowd training editor, contributing to seven systematic reviews including two on dietary-assessment instruments. Author of three peer-reviewed evidence-synthesis papers and a co-author on a methodology brief for the WHO Nutrition Guidance Expert Advisory Group.

Editorial focus

Inés authors evidence-synthesis articles (validation-studies map, replicability, clinical-use), curates the publication’s references catalog, and gates any article that cites a peer-reviewed source. She does not write athlete-facing performance content or statistical-methodology pieces.

Conflicts of interest

No financial relationships with calorie-tracking-app vendors. Income from this publication, from independent systematic-review consulting (none for consumer-software vendors), and from teaching evidence-synthesis methodology at a public-health-focused continuing-education program unrelated to this category.
