FoodPhone – AI, 3D & hyperspectral imaging for food & nutrition

The FoodPhone™ project set out to transform the everyday smartphone into a powerful food scanner. By integrating compact hyperspectral and 3D vision modules—with input from FRAMOS—the team developed a handheld solution for meal recognition, portion estimation, and nutrient tracking.

Using a combination of AI, 3D data, and multispectral imaging, the FoodPhone™ enables healthcare providers and consumers to analyze food with accuracy that rivals lab equipment—delivered in seconds. The system is compact, low-power, and ideal for use in diet tracking, chronic disease management, and real-time food assessment.
