About this app

SmartEating aims to help people find nutritional values of the food of their choice, find a variety of nutritious foods based on their nutrient deficiency, find a variety of replacements for their selected food which fall into the same food category. This functionality assists people with an allergy to find nutritious replacements for a selected food. This can also help individuals on a tight budget to find lower-cost foods with similar nutritional values.
The app also provides users with information and advice to motivate them to grow some of their food with their available resources to become more self-sustainable and reduce their food-related costs. It also offers additional features to help customers find the location of fresh markets and community gardens. It is featured by a healthy eating quiz to help users assess their eating habits and encourage users to learn more about healthy diets. This application aims to assist in addressing food insecurity which is considered a public health issue in Australia and the scope of this project is now limited to Victoria for the map functionality and finding the location of fresh markets and community gardens.
Targets users of this app are anyone willing to reduce their food-related costs as well as health-conscious individuals seeking nutrition knowledge. Although not specifically designed for allergic people, it can help them find a range of nutritious replacements to choose from for a selected food. Potential sponsors include community health centers in Victoria, the National Health and Medical Research Council, and the health services in Melbourne. This project can affect target users’ lives by providing useful information to help them change the way they live to a smarter, less expensive, and more sustainable one. By providing a tool to find less expensive food alternatives, this app aims to help its users specifically low-income people to address the nutrient deficiency in their diets. Furthermore, it promotes the use of community gardens provided by the government which is part of the initiatives already in place to reduce food insecurity in Australia. Encouraging people to grow their own food will also help them to reconnect with themselves, their family, and friends thereby promoting mental health and inner tranquillity.
