Eomma: Because We All Deserve a Little Care

🧠 What it does

It is an AI-powered food scanner app that helps users make informed and healthier food choices β€” like a digital mom guiding you from afar. By scanning a food item’s barcode (GTIN), the app fetches real-time nutritional information, identifies harmful ingredients, and suggests healthier alternatives. It's designed to be intuitive, fast, and caring β€” a true wellness companion for people living away from home.

πŸ› οΈHow we built it

  • The backend was built using Flask, which handles barcode input, connects to a third-party food database API, and processes ingredient and nutritional data.
  • We developed a lightweight machine learning model trained on curated food ingredient data to detect harmful substances and provide smart recommendations.
  • API responses (mostly in nested JSON) were converted to structured CSV for model training and data validation.
  • My partner focused on building a warm, clean, and user-friendly frontend UI, mimicking the feel of care and simplicity.
  • Integration was made modular to support easy scaling and maintenance.

πŸš€What's next for Eomma

  • Personalized health insights based on user profiles like diabetic, vegan, or weight-conscious users.
  • Expanding to restaurant meals and groceries, not just packaged food.
  • Partnering with nutritionists or integrating with fitness apps for complete health tracking.
  • Personalized AI assistant talk
  • Personalizes diet-chart planner
  • Blood-reports scans and better insides
