The Foodvisor app was created to help users keep track of their diet by taking photos of each meal. The app is then able to leverage deep learning technologies to recognize what is on the user's plate. Foodvisor is able to determine the distance from the camera to the plate, it then is able to determine the volume of each item. Following this, the app will inform the user of the nutritional information from the meal they are about to eat. Users will also have the ability to manually correct any information the system gets wrong.
Currently, the Foodvisor app has over 1.8 million downloads, and it is available for both iOS and Android devices. The platform also has premium subscription options, where the user will be able to speak to a registered nutritionist in the app.
