Khleb - Smartplate & Smartglass, Automatic Nutrition Tracking

by
Khleb is creating the world's first smartplate & smartglass. This dishware set will automatically tell you exactly what you've eaten and how many calories with you doing nothing besides serving yourself on the plate and in the glass. We are currently crowd funding on Kickstarter, in the prelaunch.

No robust solution exists to track diet:

  • 70% of the U.S population is overweight

  • Caloric deficit is the only way to lose weight

  • 3000-5000 peer-reviewed nutrition studies are published a year

  • 50% of the population tries manual logging of the diet and mostly fails

  • Enormous amounts of resources go into tracking the diet in a medical study setting and the results are low fidelity data sets

  • Every existing "solution" requires the user to stop, think, search, and log. Even AI photo-apps require a deliberate "stop-and-snap" moment.

  • The "Photo" Trap: Image recognition is just a sophisticated guess. It can’t see the hidden sugar in a sauce or the difference between lean protein and marbled fat.

  • The Effort Barrier: Apps like MyFitnessPal or PlateAI are "Active Tracking." They add mental load to every meal.

  • The Result: High churn rates. People want the data, but they hate the labor. No solution has taken hold because no solution has removed the labor.

Khleb is working to solve all of these issues!
