Indian health and wellness startup HealthifyMe has launched an AI-powered feature called Snap, which utilizes image recognition technology to automatically identify and track calorie intake from Indian food. Users can take pictures of their meals or grant access to their photo gallery, allowing the app to scan and recognize food items for calorie logging. HealthifyMe claims an accuracy rate of 60-70% in recognizing food items, with plans to improve it to over 80%. The company has raised over $130 million in funding and currently offers both free and paid plans with additional features.
