Inspiration:
We all love our desi food, but health concerns often leave us wondering: “Can I eat this safely?” SehatPlate was inspired by the need for a simple, friendly guide that helps people especially elders enjoy traditional meals wisely.
What it does:
SehatPlate lets you snap a photo or type the name of your dish, share your health details, and instantly get clear guidance: Safe to eat, Better in moderation, or Best to avoid.
How we built it:
We combined AI image recognition with a food database tailored to desi cuisine. The system processes user health inputs and applies dietary rules to generate personalized recommendations.
Challenges we ran into:
- Training the AI to recognize diverse desi dishes.
- Making healthy swaps of ingredients or the quantity used in your local dish .
- Ensuring the app feels friendly, not restrictive.
** Accomplishments we're proud of**:
- Building a working demo that recognizes common desi meals.
- Designing a clear, elder‑friendly interface.
- Creating a tool that blends culture with health awareness.
What we learned:
We learned how to balance technology with empathy making AI useful without overwhelming users. We also gained experience in food recognition, health data handling, and user‑centric design.
What's next for SehatPlate:
- Expanding the dish database to cover more regional foods.
- Adding voice input for elders who prefer speaking over typing.
- Integrating with wearable health devices for real‑time advice.
- Launching community features to share healthy desi recipes.
