Inspiration

We were inspired by the Stanford AI in healthcare program (AIMI) so we wanted to contribute our app to making it easier for people to manage and track their eating habits so that they can achieve their goals and stay healthy.

What it does

The app calculates your BMR, allows you to track meals throughout the day, tells you how many calories to eat in a day based on your health goal. It also allows the user to get advice from an AI chatbot on how to meet their goals by eating certain foods.

How we built it

We built it on MIT-App-Inventor and used API’s from OpenAI.

Challenges we ran into

We needed to create databases to store certain information when switching screens.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully integrated AI into our program, and we incorporated text-to-speech functions to make the app more accessible.

What we learned

AI can be used to support humans by helping them achieve their goals. We also learned how to integrate APIs into apps.

What's next for Diet Advice Chat Bot

We’re looking forward to getting real users to provide feedback and help us improve this app. We would also like to enter our app into more competitions in the future.
