More than 2 in 3 adults in America are overweight or obese. This pandemic is growing at a global scale. Traditional weight loss and nutrition programs such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Nutrisystem are not sustainable and only provide short-term fixes to a long-term problem. Digital health applications and wearables, on the other hand, are rapidly taking market share from these incumbents. These industries are growing at a 43% CAGR on average with a projected market size of $37B by 2020.
SmartPlate by Fitly, is the only intelligent nutrition platform that sits at the intersection of Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things. We differentiate through a ‘hardware assisted A.I.’ approach that will yield a unique dataset to create the most accurate, user-friendly, and scalable nutrition tracking app on the market.
