The app supports barcode scanning for foods, drinks, cosmetics, medicines, and pet foods. It provides detailed ingredient information, categorizes nutrients into positive and negative (either generally or based on user-specific health data), identifies associated health risks, and suggests alternatives using an AI recommendation engine.
- Search Engine: Easily find products without barcode scanning, with upcoming support for image and live product recognition.
- Meal Tracker: Monitor your daily nutritional intake by scanning product barcodes, allowing you to easily track and manage your meals.
- Marketplace: Discover and purchase for healthier alternatives from our trusted partners.
- Browser Extension: Integrate app features seamlessly into your online shopping experience.
Additionally, the app includes a Recipe Chatbot for personalized recipe recommendations and an Account Activity feature to track your scan history, searches, and payments.

-
Barcode Scan: Utilizes the
zxing_flutterlibrary to capture barcode input from the user via the Flutter app. The scanned barcode is then sent to the Django server for further processing. -
Text Search: Accepts text input from the user through the Flutter app for product lookup. This input is forwarded to the Django server to query the Firestore database for relevant product information.
-
Django Server: Serves as the central backend server responsible for user authentication, data cleaning, integration with the Gemini API, and interaction with Google Firebase services.
-
OpenFoodFacts API: Fetches raw, detailed information about products based on barcode or text search inputs. This API provides comprehensive ingredient and nutritional data, including metadata such as name, brand, and more.
-
Gemini API: Analyzes data from the OpenFoodFacts API, sorting nutrients into positive and negative categories, flagging potential health risks, and offering product recommendations.
-
Firestore Database: Stores processed product information, facilitating quick lookups for both the browser extension and the Flutter app. If no barcode is detected, it searches the database for relevant details.
-
Flutter App: Cross-platform mobile application enabling users to scan barcodes for offline shopping, access features such as a recipe chatbot, meal tracker for monitoring nutritional intake, and a marketplace for healthy products.
-
Browser Extension: Extends the features of the Flutter app to the user's online shopping experience, allowing product lookups using our search engine directly within the browser.
