Designing a Healthier Future: Students Take Home Champion Title for Smart Diet Planner
Students from across Hong Kong were invited to take part in the HSU x eClass Computing Cup, a prestigious competition organized by The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK). This year’s challenge tasked participants with designing and implementing an Android mobile application capable of creating personalized meal plans, displaying calorie information, and featuring a Smart Diet Planner.
We are proud to announce that STEAM Team from our school—comprising 4C Carrie BUT, 4C Karis CHAN, 4C Sharon YUEN, 4D Crystal FUNG, and 4D Hailey POON—achieved remarkable success by winning the Champion title.
Their project focused on promoting healthier eating habits through a mobile app that calculates daily calorie intake and leverages artificial intelligence to provide personalized dietary suggestions. The application also integrates a trained AI model that recognizes unfamiliar foods: when users encounter items they do not know, the system identifies them and displays the corresponding calorie information. This innovative solution demonstrates the team’s creativity, technical expertise, and commitment to encouraging a healthier lifestyle.
