About Me
Josue Daniel Torres
My name is Josue Daniel Torres. I am a husband, father, U.S. Army Reserve weekend warrior, and student pursuing an Associate of Science in Computer Technology.
Healthy Scan AI started as a personal solution. During a pediatric visit, my youngest daughter Camila’s doctor mentioned that she was slightly overweight for her age and encouraged us to pay closer attention to the nutrition labels of the foods we buy. Like many busy parents, I don’t always have time to read every label in detail.
"This capstone project uses my technical skills to tackle a real-life challenge: quickly understanding whether a product supports my family’s health and what healthier alternatives exist in the same category."
Prototype Capabilities
Image Upload & Inference
Simulates scanning by analyzing uploaded label images. The system automatically infers categories (e.g., soda, cereal, yogurt) from visual data without manual input.
Health Score Engine
A proprietary logic that penalizes negative nutrients (added sugars, sodium, saturated fats) while rewarding positive ones (fiber, protein) to generate an unbiased score.
Age-Specific Analysis
Generates breakdown tables specifically tailored for three distinct groups: Children (4-8), Adults (19-50), and Seniors (51+).
Smart Alternatives
Automatically identifies and suggests the healthiest product available within the same category to offer an immediate actionable swap.
