Inspiration
A lot of the time in home health care is for problems that already exist. Whether it is care for injuries, therapy, or injections, most of the time there is already a problem. We think it would be better if there was no problem in the first place. Along that line of thought, a person's diet plays a key role in staying healthy. We want to let people know how healthy they are eating.
What it does
You take a picture of receipt, and it processes the items on the receipt and looks up their nutrition information. It then gives you a grade of how healthy your receipt was overall
How we built it
We made an app to take a picture and sent it to a python server we made and host. That server calls an image to text api to get the UPC numbers. We then use another api to get the nutrition information for each item. We then made an algorithm to rate each item, and give you an overall rating for the receipt.
Challenges we ran into
Finding workable APIs, connecting the phone to our server and back again
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the phone to connect to the server and send the image, and using all of the APIs successfully
What we learned
Its hard to get many parts to all sync up
