CS – Eddie Explorr Food

• Eddie Federmeyer

Explorr Food is a mobile application developed in react-native. Explorr allows users to track and log their daily nutritional intake using a food log and cutting edge AI integrations. Users can access and edit their meal log upon starting the app, as well as see a visual graph of their Calorie, Carb, Protein, and Fat intake. The graph is based on the time the user logged their entry, providing an intuitive way to visualize your day and an easy reference for users who may need to balance their nutritional intake. Users can add to their log by using the ‘New Log’ entry, a feature that will open up a new page and prompt either manual entry, a reference from a previously favorite meal, or an estimate of their meal’s nutritional information via a location and meal description the user types. The estimates for meals are provided via Google Gemini instance that is trained to respond with values for each field in the entry form based on whatever the user describes as their meal. This is sent to Google, parsed, and responded to, allowing for a seamless entry for meal logs when little to no information about a meal’s nutrition is known by the user. In addition, the log entry can geotag entries through Google’s Places API, allowing users to track not only what they ate, but where. This will be auto-filled with the immediate location of the user if there exists a restaurant there. If not, the user may submit this manually or omit it entirely. Since Explorr aims to provide an intuitive experience for nutritional logging for meals, all fields in the log are optional, editable, and favorite-able. This allows the user to reuse old entries for meals they consume regularly, edit meals they may have incorrectly logged, as well as omit data they feel is either useless, not applicable.
