Sprint is offering a service aimed at people who want to eat healthier. “MyFoodPhone will provide Sprint camera phone users access to the world’s first nutrition service based on the use of camera phone images and video feedback. MyFoodPhone allows Sprint customers to conveniently track their food consumption and have easy, remote access to nutrition counseling based on their eating habits…MyFoodPhone enables Sprint camera phone users to take a picture of the food they eat at each meal or snack and send it in for review by a nutritional advisor. Customers receive video feedback on their eating habits biweekly for only $9.99 a month. The service’s unique mobile food-journaling application helps customers monitor what they eat, modify their eating habits, and achieve their individual health goals through motivation provided by personalized counseling from trained, credible MyFoodPhone Nutrition Advisors.”
It’s certainly an interesting way to get people using the camera and video functions of their phone…I’m not sure how accurate nutritionists will be just going by a photo, but I guess that’s taken into account.
