Retail tech corporations Kurly said on the 11th that it has launched the artificial intelligence (AI) diet management app "Lusion." Since being released on Google Play Store and Apple App Store on the 19th of last month, Lusion has gone through a service stabilization period.
Lusion offers meal logging and personalized meal recommendation services. The AI embedded in Lusion analyzes Kurly's vast product data to define each product by food type and analyze its nutritional information and attributes. It also recommends optimized, personalized meal plans by considering the daily recommended intake and nutrient ratios based on the user's age, sex, weight, activity level, allergies, preferred diet, and target calories.
The method for logging meals is simple. When a user uploads a photo of food or enters a food name, the AI calculates the carbohydrate, protein, and fat proportions and the calories contained in the food. It also displays the total calories the user consumed during the day, and shows the calories remaining or exceeded compared with that day's target calories.
Meal plans personalized based on the basic information and preferred diet entered by the user are available for purchase on Kurly. For example, if Greek yogurt and nuts are suggested to a user, they are linked to products available on Kurly, such as "YOZM yogurt-flavored Greek yogurt" and "Yugisaem almonds and dates."
Points accumulated in the Lusion app can be used on Kurly. Points are earned by completing missions such as logging meals or checking recommended meal plan products. Points can be exchanged for Kurly discount coupons or Kurly product vouchers.
A Kurly official said, "We plan to grow Lusion into a personalized health management platform by adding features that allow users to record health indicators such as weight, body fat, blood sugar, and sleep, and monitor their condition."
