Careium-AI

At this extreme moment, we began working from home, away from campus, and keeping social distance from as many people as possible. As we stay home and stick with the foods that have been in our fridge, we are temporarily living a sedentary lifestyle with increased odds of physical inactivity, excessive eating and sitting, stress, anxiety, and depression. Many of us will gain some weight during the pandemic and may keep the extra weight permanently, which may carry considerable health risks for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and other health problems. This is where the importance of Careium Artificial Intelligence (AI) Food Tracker comes in.

Accordingly, the Careium-AI Food Tracker (Android) application helps diabetes, liver patients, and those who want to track their health throughout the day through daily meals by calculating the calories and minerals per each meal by taking a picture of the meal, and the application detects the food type and analyzes its calories and minerals. Also, the application follows up gaining or losing weight, or even avoiding some food due to allergies. That is achieved using Deep Learning and Image Processing.

Careium-AI Food Tracker shows astonishing results compared to what was expected for a simple use case example. Capturing the food plate, long dish, deep dish or even scattered amount of food, Careium can still segment the food region, process it and predicts the main five nutrition components (Calories, Mass, Fat, Carbs, Proteins). Calories are measured in cal, all others are measured in grams. It can be used in classifying a mixed dish of food into multiple food categories, generating food eaten reports periodically, recommending a proper meal from a set of different available meals in a given dataset and giving alarms for each mealtime.
