The Problem

Reading a Plate Shouldn't Need a Dietitian

Diabetes is exploding across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Most calorie-counter apps need a cloud account, English-only menus, and a barcode scan — none of that works for a hand-cooked bowl of dal and rice. Families burn airtime and clinic fees just to get a basic answer.

Calorie Apps Don't Know Your Food

Most nutrition apps were built for packaged Western food with barcodes. Dal tarka, ugali, injera, nasi goreng? You won't find them. PlateCheck ships with 500+ regional BoP staples baked in.

A Dietitian Visit Costs a Day's Wage

In Mumbai, Nairobi or Jakarta, a single nutrition consult runs $5–10 plus transport and lost work hours. Families skip it, guess wrong, and pay later in glucose spikes and complications.

Cloud Apps Eat Airtime

Every scan against a server is a few rupees of mobile data — silently. PlateCheck never talks to a server. The model lives on your phone. Zero airtime, zero accounts, zero tracking.

The Solution

Point. Snap. Know.

PlateCheck pairs an on-device food vision model with a clinical Glycemic Load engine. Pull out your phone, snap your meal, and read the verdict in a second — even in airplane mode.

Not a medical device. PlateCheck is an educational nutrition tool. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice, especially if you have diabetes or another condition.

Camera-to-Glycemic-Load

Point the camera at any plate — homemade, restaurant, street food. PlateCheck identifies the dish on device and returns a Glycemic Load score in under a second.

Traffic-Light Verdict

Green, amber, red — at a glance. No nutrition degree required. The colour band matches GL: low (< 10), medium (10–19), high (≥ 20). Anyone in the family can read it.

Blunting Pairings

Got a high-GL meal? PlateCheck suggests protein and fibre pairings that flatten the post-meal blood-sugar curve — using foods already in your kitchen, not imports.

Save Scans to Vault

Every scan can be saved to your on-device Vault — review yesterday's lunch, last week's pattern, your slow-cooker dal across a month. All stored locally, never uploaded.

9 Languages

English, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Swahili, Bahasa Indonesia. The whole experience — onboarding, results, pairings — in the language you cook in.

100% On Device

No cloud, no accounts, no airtime burned. The vision model and the food index ship inside the app. PlateCheck saves families $5–10 every time it replaces a dietitian visit.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. PlateCheck is an educational nutrition tool that estimates Glycemic Load from a photo. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice, especially if you have diabetes.

Yes, 100%. The vision model and food index ship inside the app. Once installed, PlateCheck never needs the internet. No data charges, no airtime, no surprises on your prepaid balance.

500+ regional BoP staples plus common Western items: dal, rice, roti, chapati, ugali, injera, fufu, nasi goreng, pho, biryani, samosa, paratha, idli, sambar, and many more. If we miss something, you'll see a "low confidence" result rather than a wrong answer — and we add new dishes with each release.

Glycemic Load = (Glycemic Index × net carbs) / 100. It tells you how much a serving of a food will push your blood sugar up. Under 10 is low (green), 10–19 is medium (amber), 20+ is high (red). It's the number most diabetologists actually care about, simpler than tracking grams of sugar.

No. PlateCheck never uses your mobile data — every scan happens on your phone. No servers, no accounts, no uploads. Photos and results stay only on your device. This is what we call "wallet-first": we won't cost you airtime.

Android only at launch. Our target families in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia run Android phones — that's where the need is greatest. We focus our build budget where the impact is.
