About PlateLens

PlateLens is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based calorie tracking application that analyzes the nutritional content of meals through photos. Users can snap a photo of their meals, and the app provides an instant nutritional breakdown. The app can identify any dish, including home-cooked, restaurant, or pre-packaged foods and estimates portion sizes for accurate nutrition calculation. Aside from food photo analysis, the app also contains a barcode scanner for packaged foods and syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect. Additionally, it has a personalized AI coaching feature to keep the user motivated and on track with fitness goals. The AI coach tailors its coaching style according to the individual's goals and preferences. PlateLens also includes a Smart Streak System to keep the user motivated with daily reminders and achievements. Its multi-language support allows it to understand meals from any cuisine worldwide. PlateLens ensures accuracy by testing real meal images against dietitian-weighed portions and USDA lab values. The app also informs you about its confidence in its estimates, telling users when it is uncertain about a nutritional estimate. In such cases, it provides ranges instead of inaccurate numbers. When a food isn't clearly visible or well-matched with their database, the app provides warnings. PlateLens supports corrections and allows users to modify individual ingredients in a meal if necessary.
