About the Project

Keto is a meal-tracking app that eases keeping to a healthy diet via auto-logging of daily food and liquid intakes. The app can count the calories taken/ burnt and more wonderful things to help you take care of your body. With the Keto app, food trackers can solve numerous tasks usually associated with manual calorie and nutrition tracking, from daily water intakes logging to going out with friends.

Product idea

The primary task was to create an app for food tracking and take into account the specifics of local cuisine. During the discovery phase, our BAs spotted a few major pains of target users that still remained unsolved - simplify the process of food logging and calorie tracking. According to the latest research, auto-logging technology helps users improve their healthy food intake and diet quality. The app should be able to track the intake of fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, red and processed meat, and already-cooked meals.

Product Challenges:

Build an ML-powered engine for auto-logging meals and drinks
Provide users with one-stop app for sticking to a healthier diet
Deliver an engaging user experience and adding the motive of keeping fit

Results

Keto was ready to meet users. But it never had. Due to some problems on the client side, the app was never launched. This was a great disappointment for both the team at Keto and its users, who were eagerly awaiting its release. Despite having put in countless hours of hard work and dedication, the project was unable to come to fruition due to technical difficulties that arose from the client side. The team had worked diligently on perfecting their product before launch. We delivered a version loaded with useful features including an intuitive user interface, food auto-logging capabilities, and a built-in water tracker.

Key Features

01Personal Profile

Our app provides users with an easy way to create their own personal profile, allowing them to enter their age, weight, height, desired dietary goals (i.e. weight loss or muscle gain) and other vital information that can be used to monitor and track progress over time.

02Auto Food Logging

With this feature, our app takes all the hassle out of manually logging foods consumed throughout the day. The Keto app utilizes machine learning techniques to scans images of meals taken by the user in order to detect ingredients in real-time and log them accordingly into a personalized nutrition diary. This automated system not only saves users time but also maximizes accuracy when tracking daily intake.

03Water Intake Tracker

To make sure that users are drinking enough water throughout the day, our app also features a water intake tracker that calculates how much water each user should drink based on their body weight, age, gender etc. This helps ensure proper hydration and supports healthy habits overall.

04Dashboard

To make data analysis easier we have created a dashboard page where users can see live updates on their daily calorie intake vs targets as well as macro/micronutrient ratios which could be adjusted depending on one’s unique dietary needs/goals!

05External Trackers Support

Keto allows for a seamless intergations with external fitness trackers such as Apple watches which means all activities recorded on these devices can be synced up directly with the app giving users full access to all activity data from one location!

06Notifications

To ensure that users are kept up-to-date with important updates regarding their health and fitness journey, the app provides notifications which include reminders about upcoming meals, nutritional advice/tips as well as alerts when they are close to reaching certain milestones/goals that they may have set themselves!
