WeighPlate partnered with Software Co to develop a groundbreaking food intelligence system that merges AI, real-time nutritional analytics, and physical IoT hardware into a single, user-centric health platform.
Together, we embarked on a mission to tackle one of the most complex health challenges globally, improving food awareness, meal tracking, and portion control with scientific precision. The result is WeighPlate which is a first-of-its-kind AI-powered food and health management application paired with a patented smart plate device, designed for global use.
Built for consumers, families, fitness enthusiasts, dieticians, and medical professionals, the platform transforms nutrition tracking into a seamless, intuitive, and data-rich experience—bringing real-time macro and calorie insights directly from the plate to the app.
