CarboZen is designed to reduce the complexity of manual carb counting, offering fast support for meal estimation and greater confidence in everyday use.
CarboZen starts with a simple gesture: take a picture of the dish and start the analysis in just a few seconds.
The app processes the image and returns an estimate of carbohydrates and macronutrients, with an interface designed to be easy to read and genuinely useful.
You can review past analyses, browse your meal history and keep a more organized and conscious view of your daily routine.
CarboZen was not created as a simple fitness or calorie-counting app. It was built to offer practical help in estimating carbohydrates, macronutrients and bolus calculations, with a simple, fast approach designed for daily use.
CarboZen comes from the direct experience of Giovanni Cerri, who for more than 10 years has known how complex it can be to estimate meal carbohydrates in daily life, especially away from home. The goal is to offer practical, fast and reliable support when it truly matters.
Starting from a simple photo of the plate, CarboZen helps estimate carbohydrates and macronutrients immediately. The app also allows users to review meal history, revisit past analyses and maintain a more conscious approach in everyday management.
CarboZen is a project in constant growth. The goal is to continually improve its accuracy, user experience and practical usefulness, building over time a tool that is increasingly solid, credible and close to people’s real needs.
Product focus
CarboZen is designed to make meal estimation simpler in everyday life, keeping clarity, speed of use and real value for the user at the center.
CarboZen improves meal estimation by combining visual interpretation, scale references and more advanced support for bolus management. The goal is to offer a tool that is increasingly concrete, credible and aligned with the real complexity of meals.
New reference
CarboZen keychain + 1€ coin
CarboZen can use scale references to improve the visual precision of its estimates, such as the CarboZen keychain or a common 1 euro coin. This helps the system better interpret the real dimensions, volumes and proportions of the meal.
The analysis is not limited to carbohydrates alone: CarboZen also considers macronutrients such as proteins and fats, offering more complete support in understanding the meal and making it more useful in real everyday situations.
In addition to standard bolus support, CarboZen also integrates delayed bolus support for proteins and fats, based on the modified formula of Dr. Andrea Scaramuzza. This enables a more advanced approach to meal management, especially for more complex dishes.
Clinical and algorithmic focus
The integration of standard bolus and extended bolus support, together with a more advanced reading of proteins and fats, represents one of the most important steps in the technical evolution of CarboZen. The direction is clear: increase precision, context and practical usefulness for the real user.
We’re working on new tools to enrich meal analysis and support your progress. Multi-angle, B/W high contrast and Journey are in development and are not available yet.
You’ll be able to add 2 or 3 photos of the same dish from different angles, giving the analysis more information about portions, volumes and composition.
High-contrast black-and-white processing will help highlight edges, separation between foods and the structure of the dish.
Missions, XP, badges and personal progress will help you follow your journey and make everyday use more engaging.
User experiences show the value of practical, fast help designed for real-life situations.
Type 1 diabetes
“It helps me have a quick reference when I eat away from home. As a support tool it is truly very useful, and now I feel more confident when I am not eating at home.”
Daily use
“I find it especially useful for more complex dishes. It is fast, easy to use and gives me a reasonable starting estimate.”
Parent
“Appreciable for its practicality and immediacy. In many real situations it helps reduce the initial uncertainty in estimating a meal.”
