FOOD-INTELLI Inc. is a food information provider.
We start to develop a new API service to calculate the calories from
the diet the video taken by the smartphone.
This API can also be applied to developing countries and halalu
as well as developed countries.
We believe cognitive computing can solve the problem of global food.
Calorie calculation service by smartphone video of the meal is also present some, but nutritionists are determined by visual observation.
We apply IT technologies to this area same as current business.
Our teams can build an API economies and converted to new business no other.
CEO:Dr. Kawabe have rich experience of field survey in Papua New Guinea As anthropologist.
So he is eager to solve not only the area of the calorie intake too much, such as Japan and the United States is a problem, the lack of food
He eager to also solves the Japan and the United States as well as underdeveloped countries issues.
Management experience is also required.
CTO:Fujita has developed the API in Bluemix environment over a period of 2 years, in the past IPO also experienced corporate managers.
Dr. Kawabe acquired a doctorate at the University of Tokyo after graduating from the anthropology of Kyoto University.
He studied with a focus on local investigation centered on Papua New Guinea.
In the course of the study, it has been trying to the use of IT.
In the nutritional state investigation and listen a meal of local people.
There was a problem with accurate communication with local people.
If we can develop a direct judgment system from the image by the smartphone,
It will be very easy to study and Nutritional guidance.
This project proposer, perform the development of the global expansion.
Fujita: He developed 300,000 companies HP information service on Bluemix API Connect.
This product is in combination with the Office365API.
It has been published in the official store.
Our new business, food information provider, is a challenge for “Blue Ocean” where we don’t see any direct competition at
this moment. According to McKinsey (April 2015), Obesity became a bigger public-health problem than hunger since 2010.
Advanced economies like Japan have a lot of nutrition science practitioners giving anti-obesity advices to people.
Smartphone picture based calorie notification services are emerging but most requires human behind the scenes.
Most nutrition science practitioners lack IT skills and cognitive computing is not applied yet.
We will attempt to build and deploy a food information service which can be used all over the world – crossing the
borders of geography and cultures (maybe religious enforcements as well) using cognitive computing.and delivered via APIs.
If there are any other teams with the same ambition, acceleration through competition and collaboration would benefit the world and human beings at large.
