Well Lens AI is an intelligent nutrition assistant that helps you make informed food choices. Using advanced AI technology, it allows you to scan food items or barcodes to instantly discover nutritional content, identify allergens, and determine if foods match your dietary preferences.

How does the food scanning technology work?

Our AI uses computer vision to recognize food items through your phone's camera. For packaged foods, you can scan barcodes to access detailed nutritional information from our extensive database. The technology has been trained on millions of food images and data points for accurate recognition.
