Detroit, Massachusetts Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Diet ID Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for revolutionizing dietary assessment. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12073935, titled ‘Systems and methods for diet quality photo navigation utilizing dietary fingerprints for diet assessment’, introduces a fast, image-based approach to measuring diet quality.

Instead of tracking every meal, users scroll through curated food photos to select the image that best matches their usual diet. The system then identifies a “dietary fingerprint,” which is a nutritional profile tied to that choice. This allows near-instant feedback on diet quality without food logging or calorie counting.

By removing the burden of manual tracking, this tool makes diet assessment more accessible, especially in clinical or public health settings. It also supports real-time nutrition guidance, giving users a clear sense of how to improve their eating habits over time.

This breakthrough blends behavioral science and AI to reimagine nutrition tracking as a visual, intuitive experience. It works across different cultures and dietary preferences, increasing its value for both individual users and healthcare providers.

Diet ID Inc.’s technology opens a new frontier in personalized nutrition, turning complex dietary data into an easy, engaging process. It’s a major step forward in preventive health and diet-related disease management.
