S
afe or unsafe Food? Do I need to consider precautions
or not? Have the question answered by your phone
simply focusing in on the food that you are thinking about
eating. An innovative method to easily understand, efficacy
and speed can give clear information in regard. With the
integration of MASSICare 2.0 A.R. (Method of Acquiring
Scientific Specific Information on Care - Augmented Reality)
in fact, it is possible to understand if the food that we would
like to consume is appropriate or not. Just using the camera
of the phone, and with the algorithm present in a new
innovative App we can estimate the quantity and quality
of the food cross-checked with its safety. This innovation, is
the evolution of a MASSI Care a model presented in 2015
in the United States, and the facility of the App gives quick
response to the general public. The lay public would have
special pictograms in 3D on the camera of the phone, related
to the food that is being considered by the user, that can
remind them about their limitations cross-checked with
the food. Once the owner of the App has entered all details
related to their health background, there is a matching with
the database developed in relation to new breakthroughs
in the field of food poisoning. The approach pursued by
the App is in AR (augmented reality), the database is under
construction with all kinds of foods, and the goal is to include
all common foods present all around the world. Through
attractive graphics many suggestions will be given to the
consumer regarding similar food alternatives with less risk
for their health and the quantity of specific food components
is measured so as not to exceed the recommended intake.
