Your Android smart phone can tell you what you are eating

Food-Referee-for-press-01Thanks to smart phones, food logging or food journaling or keeping track of what you eat has shown to help prevent and stop over-eating. The GOQii app has helped its players to portion control their diet and eat healthier trhough the food log. While, the app has made it easy for the GOQii coaches to track what their players are eating and give them appropriate advice.

But, how would you feel, if I tell you that your android smart phone can now detect what you are eating and whether you are eating right by simply taking a photo of your food plate and thereby making it easy to log your food. GOQii on Monday July 17th, launched its auto food recognition feature called ‘Referee. The launch took place in the presence of GOQIi players some who travelled from as far as Nandurbar and Thane. A variety of food items were on display and players with android phones

GOQii Food Referee, is a feature to automatically detect food and it’s nutrition information by uploading photos and logging food. With the introduction of Referee logging food will become easy and the built in database already has thousands of food items.

Food-Referee-for-pressSpeaking on this new development, Vishal Gondal, CEO and Founder, GOQii said “One of the feedback that we constantly received from our players was how it was cumbersome to type food intake on a daily basis and log. ‘Referee’ will now make it easy for the players to just click a picture and log food to share with coach and friends and making it fun and exciting to meet their health goals”.
