GOQii app gets food recognition tech called Refree

Fitness technology company GOQii is adding two new features to its app, which includes GOQii Arena and GOQii Referee. Arena is a motivational platform that aims to help GOQii users connect with other users and motivate towards a healthy life style, while Refree is a food auto-detect feature that can automatically detect the food from the plate.

With the new Arena feature, GOQii users can create their own groups and add others with like-minded fitness goals and challenge each other, therby creating opportunities to promote healthy living. Users will also be able to share images of the food, activity, Karma donation with their coach and friends.

Next, the Refree function can detect different food and provide with their nutrition information. It also records your food habits on a daily basis, and the logs can be viewed manually to keep track of calorie intake.

Refree is able to detect and get the food information using artificial intelligence (AI), neural networks, computer vision and image recognition. Users have to click a picture of the food in their plate, and Refree will scan the food photo to detect what food it is and provide nutrition information. Currently Referee can detect food items like dosa, idli, poha, upma, khichdi, Chaat (Bhel Puri, Sev Puri), Chole, Dhokla, Biryani, Food Items with rice, Porridge, Sandwich and variety of fruits.
