You can only manage what you measure. This why DietSensor, the first instant nutrition coach with sensors is able to tell within seconds the nutritional values of a food or beverage and give immediate advice, driven by evidence based medicine. It is aimed at people who need to regain control of their daily food intake, especially those who are suffering from being overweight or with chronic diseases related to nutrition.

« Scan your food and manage your health », says Remy Bonnasse, the CEO and co-founder of DietSensor. The SCiO tool used to analyse the cells of the food works only on homogeneous foods, therefore DietSensor also embeds a 600,000 food items database so you will also be able to add any “non homogeneous” food item on your plate with the classical search or barcode methods. But SCiO also works on homemade foods and beverages, hence it is better than barcode scanning methods. For more info, visit us on www.dietsensor.com
