VitaFriends is an AI-powered companion that helps young adults build sustainable healthy eating habits for longevity. It pairs cute organ-shaped table companions — Brainie (brain), Heartie (heart), and Livie (liver), which change color and emotion via a smart app. Using AI image recognition, the app analyzes your meals, tracks nutrition, offers daily check-ins, suggests fridge-based recipes, generates grocery lists based on nutrition gaps, and provides preventive chronic disease challenge rankings. Based on nutrition and habit science, it provides instant visualization and guidance, turning distant, unseen health consequences into visible, immediate emotional feedback.
