About this Project

Our project addresses the obesity epidemic in America. This app encourages people to eat a more healthy diet.


We came up with this idea based on what we did in health. We realized how many Americans are overweight and came up with a fun way to help.


Our project allows people to scan their receipts after food shopping. The app will provide healthy recipes based on the food you have bought. The more healthy choices you make, the more points you earn.

What the Judges are Saying

A lot of great work has been done on this project. I loved the interviews, and it was very effective to include links to each one. The interaction and thought put into the topic are impressive. As someone who tries to maintain a healthy diet, and reads cholesterol level for each items, I find this super helpful, especially if I can scan my receipt and the app tells me if the items I bought are good or bad based on its category, product and brand details. This feature is very innovative, and I would use it a lot.

However, some people don't keep their receipts, so you need to think of other ways to help those users, perhaps through email or another method. Other than that, I love the idea and the efforts put into this project. The storytelling and detailed statistics, like the 5.3% of Americans considered obese, are great for highlighting the need for healthy diets. Kudos to you for this exciting idea!
I recently started logging my calories so I can track my diet and lose weight. It's not an easy process. Your app would absolutely help people in my situation. I at times, struggle coming up with ideas for dinner/lunch that would fit my nutritional needs so this would totally be helpful. Where do I sign up?! Great work!
