| Abstract: |
| Healthicate will work towards providing the users with nutritionally wise and healthy decisions
when they buy their favorite food products. Moreover, Healthicate aims to provide users with
options to choose preferences they want to include or exclude from their food products. Healthicate will also provide a system for people diagnosed with certain health issues to avoid the
fear of consuming. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| To help people make informed decisions when it comes to eating food products. People cannot stop eating packaged food but can make wise decisions when it comes to consuming such products |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Every person who eats packaged food products without knowledge of what that product contains |
| How will the solution works |
| The customer will scan the barcode, ingredients list or the nutrional facts table of the food product.
The app will calculate the necessary scores based on that data. Moreover, The app will assign labels to the product based on the data avaliable. It will crawl the web for certifications related to the product.
The app will identify toxins, carcinogens and other important labels needed.
Lastly, the app will allow users to choose preferences. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Our competitors are Yuka and Open food facts. Both are good apps but in Pakistan they are not working and most of Pakistani food products are not avaliable on the apps. Moreover, our app allows user to choose diseases if they are diagnosed with one. |
