We made it into the Top 40 of the FLExPHD competition with our app Diet-Disease Reference, as part of Pantrypoints Health.
Diet-Disease Reference is a food reference app that promotes the use of food for medicine and nutrition, as ‘nutraceuticals’.
It aims to drive demand for a planetary health diet which is composed mostly of plant-based food. Our main innovations are:
- the linking of diseases to nutrients and to the food that has them
- the use of machine learning to make adding content faster
The linking of diseases to nutrients uses the paradigm of alternative medicine, namely:
- Ayurveda
- Chinese medicine
- Naturopathy
- Traditional Philippine medicine
