What makes this more useful than the existing model of scanning a barcode or using a meal tracker or just reading the nutrition facts as you're preparing a meal?
if i send this or take a picture of a fondant cake that looks exactly like a hamburger, will it think its a hamburger?
how will it know if the food item its looking at actually has in it what it thinks its has in it?
why don't you do this technology without the AI for image recognition and instead keep the AI that predicts levels over time but instead it uses nutrition facts? i'm REALLY unaware of foods that one can buy that don't have even basic facts about what is in it. all legit restaurants have it on their online menus. food you buy in stores have it. even for multi step prepared foods you can just combine the facts for all the parts plus some voodoo with the cooking method to come up with the in vivo response estimation.

We’ve built unswt, a free AI-powered sugar tracker that helps users manage their blood sugar by simply snapping a photo of their meal. No devices, no subscriptions—just straightforward feedback on how your food impacts your glucose levels.
How It Works: Snap a photo of your meal. Get instant feedback on predicted glucose levels, macro/micro breakdown, and how the food impacts your body. Why We Built It: Managing blood sugar can be tough, especially with so many processed foods and busy lifestyles. We wanted to make it easier for people to understand their body's reaction to food without needing expensive hardware. We’re collaborating with Johns Hopkins cardiology and endocrinology teams and GW nutrition AI PhDs to ensure the science behind it is solid.
Why Free? We believe in making this resource accessible to everyone. No hidden fees, no premium features—just a free tool to help you make better health decisions.
We Need Your Feedback: We’re still early and would love to get feedback from the HN community. What’s working? What’s not? What features would be useful? You can try it for free, and any feedback (good or bad) would help us improve the app.
