GlycoSafe is an innovative dietary assessment application designed to simplify your meal choices using the power of computer vision. By simply pointing your camera at your meal, GlycoSafe swiftly estimates the glycemic content, offering you valuable insights into the impact of your food choices on your blood sugar levels

Glycemic load (GL) is a measure that takes into account both the quality (glycemic index) and quantity (amount of carbohydrate) of carbohydrates in a food item. It provides a more accurate reflection of how a food will impact your blood sugar levels. Foods with a high glycemic load can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, while those with a low glycemic load result in a slower, more gradual rise.

Monitoring glycemic load is crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, particularly for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it. By keeping track of glycemic load, you can make informed dietary choices that help stabilize blood sugar levels, enhance energy levels, support weight management, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Glycosafe empowers you with the knowledge to manage your diet effectively, promoting overall well-being.

Glycosafe involves several advanced technologies. Our app uses computer vision algorithms to identify the foods in your image. Then, it cross-references this information with our extensive database of food items and their respective glycemic indices.
