Foodhak uses artificial intelligence to scour 200,000 clinical health trials and perfect its meals

Health food company Foodhak has announced that it has successfully designed nutritious meals using generative AI to process the results of more than 200,000 clinical health trials.

In the world’s first, the company is now at the forefront of using state-of-the-art AI technologies to perfect foods that have medicinal benefits.

It has developed proprietary data pipelines that generate highly specialized health research datasets from hundreds of thousands of academic sources to design healthy foods that can target specific diseases and deficiencies.

This machine learning approach means Foodhak can group foods with smart ingredient swaps to promote longevity and make effective recommendations on what someone should eat based on their health and life goals. She hopes to soon have data from more than a million trial results to incorporate into her food production and recipes – and to help design more accurate and personalized diet plans.

Evidence has been unearthed from prestigious publications including The Lancet, The British Medical Journal, and The New England Journal of Medicine. The nutritionists at Foodhak learned from one study how to use cinnamon to reduce period pain while another linked pomegranate to longevity and highlighted turmeric’s anti-aging effects.

This approach helped the company deliver 100% year-over-year growth numbers and unveil a healthy line of AI-designed snacks like cookies, which include an ancient herb ashwagandha and a range of seeded millet and omega crackers that have more omegas than most cereals. supplements.

The healthy snack is the brainchild of entrepreneur and mother-of-two Sakshi Chapra Mittal, who created the company’s concept after battling illnesses herself by changing her diet.

Sakshi said: “Foodhak has created its own model that uses generative AI to process hundreds of thousands of clinical health trial results.

“Artificial intelligence enables us to use rigorously proven datasets and help us create new recipes and products, with smart ingredient swaps to target health issues and improve well-being, precisely using food as medicine.

“This revolutionary approach is unique and no one else is using such huge amounts of data to improve nutrition and wellbeing. We hope to soon have over a million super-specialized datasets that we can use even further to laser focus our products, recipes and customized diet plans.”

Foodhak was founded on the idea that, on the one hand, food can be deeply nourishing, healing, and refreshing, and on the other hand, it can taste great and that the food you eat can, and should, make you happier, healthier, and even help you live longer. longer. Artificial intelligence has enabled us to refine this approach and give unparalleled accuracy and results.”

An estimated 90,000 deaths in the UK each year are attributed to malnutrition – 11 million globally – with many diseases originating in the gut.

Added Sakshi: “We can use this technology to recreate any meal, like pizza or chocolate cake and modify recipes with clever ingredient swaps to make them tasty yet add value to your health. Adults and children alike love these snacks and they are full of goodness and taste – they no longer have to They are not guilty pleasures anymore We believe this is the future of food – and the key to longevity.
