Project Description

MicroLens is consumer facing food tracker, that allows users to track the food they eat, based upon Micro/Macro Nutrients <> compared to the DRI (Daily Recommended Intake). We will allow users to input food, take a photo of a foods bar code, and as a stretch take a photo of a food and return the nutritional data for it.

We will give the users a daily graph of their micro and macro nutrients compared to the DRI values.

Who uses it?

People who currently track their food intake, but would like to have a more in depth breakdown of their nutrients.

People who have a chronic or acute condition, and would like a recommended nutritional plan that helps their disposition.

What outputs do they need?

• Micro Nutrients from the food they eat.

• Macro Nutrients from the food they eat.

• Comparison between a users micro nutrient intake with Daily Recommended Intake.

What inputs are needed to generate those outputs?

• USDA OPEN FOOD API
• Barcode Scanning of food
• User inputed foods
• Photo image processing ( from DSI neural net)

What technologies will you use that weren't covered in class?

MAIN

• D3
• REACT
• HTML5 File API ( 3rd party bar code scanning library)
• AWS (production EC2 hosting) Heroku if all fails

STRETCH

• Neural Net API (DSI)
• PWA (Progressive Web APP)
• oAuth
