HealthifyMe's Snap AI tool makes tracking calories easy in new campaign

HealthifyMe has unveiled a new campaign to introduce AI-powered image recognition feature called Snap.

Snap is an innovative AI-powered image recognition tool designed to streamline calorie tracking. Users can snap a picture of their meal, and within seconds, it provides an accurate calorie count.

The three ad films, crafted in-house by Owled, emphasise the speed and simplicity of HealthifyMe’s “Snap” feature, showcasing how it’s revolutionising the world of calorie monitoring. 

The essence of the campaign was to portray Snap as a revolutionary feature when it comes to calorie monitoring, making it seamless and efficient. Alternatively, users can also let the app scan their food photos from their gallery, offering the convenience of capturing images for later calorie management. To protect privacy, the system detects food pictures on the device and only sends data for dish recognition. The gallery-based model is preferred as it provides more time for accurate food item identification compared to capturing meal images on the spot. If there are multiple items in a photo, “Snap” guides users to select and track them within an adjustable box.

The three ad films brought out quirky takes on everyday situations, highlighting the ease of use and consumer benefit of the app’s latest feature. Each film focuses on different scenarios showcasing HealthifyMe’s “Snap” feature in a humorous light, emphasising its simplicity and practicality.

The first film depicts a pre-meal tradition in which a son, prompted by his father to say a prayer before dining, stumbles upon his father utilising the HealthifyMe app’s Snap function for effortless calorie tracking, emphasising the straightforwardness of the procedure.

In the second film, a man quickly tracks the calories of a samosa at work using HealthifyMe’s Snap feature, impressing his boss with its speed and accuracy.

The last film showcases a couple dining out where the girl effortlessly calculates the calories of her dish using HealthifyMe’s Snap feature, while the guy struggles with manual calculations, highlighting the app’s convenience.

Vaibhav Dhanda, Executive Creative Director, Owled Media, said, “Working on this campaign was a fun and fulfilling experience. We wanted narratives that were relatable but at the same time subvert expectations towards the resolution. Directing the campaign was equally fun. I feel the simplicity of the ideas and films where its strongest merit and that makes the humour work better. Kudos to everyone involved in the making and to the team at HealthifyMe who gave us a wide open playground to experiment and play.”

Rohan Gupta, Senior Product Manager, Director of Design, said, “Snap is the world’s first ‘Click & Forget’ food recognition feature. Our mission is to revolutionise this space and make nutrition tracking as easy and unobtrusive as possible, by using computer vision AI to detect the food items, their quantities, portion sizes, and even micronutrients in your photos. Snap then automatically logs the meal details in your HealthifyMe app, where users can review them later. We realised that it’s hard to engage with food tracking because you have to physically type and remember to log food. So we wanted to enhance this experience and increase retention and engagement.”

Aarti Samant (The Sorted Girl) - Independent Marketing Consultant, said, “With the campaign #SnapBeforeYouEat we wanted to create a new habit when it comes to food tracking that highlights how Snap simplifies tracking experience and eliminates the need for manual input and ultimately saving a ton of time. ultimately saving a significant amount of time. All three films are designed to emphasise Snap's core benefits: convenience, accuracy, and speed”.
