The supplement industry lacks a clear way for everyday consumers to quickly access accurate product descriptions. While many solutions exist for professionals, ordinary users struggle to find clear, concise, and reliable information about thousands supplements they purchase.

From concept to reality

From concept to reality

This project aimed to integrate real-time image scanning, supplement description generation, and text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities into a seamless mobile experience.

VitaScan was designed to simplify how consumers understand supplements by providing instant product information upon scanning a package. The main challenges included:
How to ensure accurate supplement information without relying on medical databases?
How to deliver real-time results while maintaining high performance?
How to make the app intuitive for any user, regardless of technical skills?

The process

The process

Discovery & research
We conducted a market, technical analysis and interviewed the customer to understand consumer pain points when searching for supplement information. Our research revealed that many existing solutions lacked sleek UX and flexibility needed for everyday users.
Agile development approach
We delivered an MVP within four months, focusing on core functionalities such as image scanning, supplement description retrieval, and voice output. Later phases introduced cloud storage, subscription models, and real-time data synchronization.
Efficient AI Integration:
Instead of training custom AI models, we used existing solution optimized for text recognition and classification. 
Optimized User Experience:
We designed a minimalist UI/UX to make the app accessible for anyone, even those unfamiliar with tech applications.
Secure & Scalable Infrastructure
The app was built with AWS cloud hosting, Stripe for payments, and encrypted data storage, ensuring a scalable and secure user experience.
