Nutra AI: Food Scanner is a health and fitness mobile app developed by the digital agency BRAVESET LTD.[1] The application functions as a nutrition analysis tool, allowing users to scan food product barcodes and receive information tailored to their personal dietary goals.[2] It is available on both Android and iOS devices and operates on a freemium model.[3][4]

Development and release

[edit]

Nutra AI was developed by BRAVESET LTD, a digital agency that specializes in creating mobile applications.[1] The app was released on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. According to its App Store listing, the application is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS 12.0 or later, and Mac computers with an Apple M1 chip or later.[4]

Core Functionality

[edit]

The app's primary features are centered around barcode scanning, nutritional analysis, and personalization based on user-selected health objectives.

Barcode Scanning and Database

[edit]

The central feature of Nutra AI is its barcode scanner. Users can scan the barcode on a food product, and the app retrieves the product's information from its database. The developer claims the database contains over 1.5 million unique products.[2] Once a product is identified, the app displays its nutritional information.

Nutritional Analysis and Scoring

[edit]

After scanning a product, the app provides a detailed nutritional breakdown. It assigns the product a score to indicate its suitability for the user's health goals. The analysis highlights both positive and negative attributes of the food, such as being a good source of fiber or having high levels of sugar or saturated fat.[2] This system is designed to help users make quick, informed decisions while shopping.

Plate Scanning Technology

[edit]

A premium feature of the app is its "plate scanning technology." The developer states that this feature allows users to take a photo of their meal, and the app's AI will analyze the components to provide an estimate of its nutritional content.[5] This feature aims to provide analysis for meals that do not have a barcode, such as home-cooked or restaurant dishes.

Calorie Counting and Health App Integration

[edit]

In addition to food analysis, Nutra AI also functions as a calorie counter. Users can log the foods they consume to track their daily caloric and nutrient intake. For a more integrated health overview, the app's premium version allows this data to be synchronized with external health platforms, including Apple Health and Google Fit.[5]

Health Goals

[edit]

Users can personalize the app's analysis by selecting from a variety of health goals. The app adjusts its recommendations and product scores based on the active goal. Available goals include:

  • General healthy eating: Focuses on balanced nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and low sodium.
  • Diabetes management: Prioritizes low sugar, low calories, high fiber, and moderate protein.
  • Hypertension management: Emphasizes low salt, low sodium, moderate saturated fat, moderate calories, and high potassium.
