Inspiration
America has a childhood obesity problem. We're here to encourage healthy eating among kids.
What it does
HealthyPets allows you to upload an image of your food and it provides a nutritional summary. When you eat something, your virtual pet Fluffy eats it too. So, if you eat healthy, Fluffy is happy and you get an additional pet. When you eat unhealthy, Fluffy is sad and one of your pets gets taken away.
How we built it
React, tensorflow/keras, javascript, express, node
Challenges we ran into
The machine learning part took a lot longer than expected because the code for training, saving/loading, and evaluating the model was not generating the correct results. The model was performing very badly at first until further trial and error happened.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Finishing this app within the hackathon period
What we learned
First time training a machine learning model for use in a web app
What's next for temp
Further gamification, realtime detection via video, bounding box drawing
