Are Smart Mini Sensors the Next Big Thing? from livescience.com
Smart sensors are everywhere, and will soon inform nearly every aspect of our lives. With the capability to scan the molecular makeup of any object nearby, especially with a device that fits in the palm of the hand and can be taken anywhere, people will have a window into what exactly makes up their surroundings to an unprecedented level of specificity.
DietSensor food-scanning app wins CES 2016 Innovation Award Honors
Ever look at a plate placed in front of you and think, “How many calories is that?” DietSensor can tell you.

Thank you Aliya from Digital Trends for this article. Indeed the DietSensor app will launch next year, probably around the summer. One thing though to make it cristal clear, the DietSensor with SCiO is set at at $378.99 (Package Including 1 year DietSensor Ultimate license). The DietSensor app is free if used without scan (with the 600 000 items declarative database). To use it with SCiO and access the algorithm DietSensor database, you will need to pay for a monthly Premium pack (the price is not set yet). You will be able to stop the Premium pack anytime and restart it later if you want.
One last thing, if you have purchased your SCiO by another channel instead of dietsensor.com, it will work with DietSensor Premium Pack also. No worry.
World’s first pocket spectrometer lets you measure the molecular makeup of nearly anything
SCiO is based on the proven near-IR spectroscopy method. The physical basis for this material analysis method is that each type of molecule vibrates in its own unique way, and these vibrations interact with light to create a unique optical signature.
Carb counting lesson #2: Simple and Complex Carbohydrates
If you’re type 2 diabetic you need to get your head around the different types of carbohydrates. We explain here what simple and complex carbs are with examples. For best health and blood sugar regulation, choosing complex carbs is the better choice.
