Project Abstract

This project was done to help combat the many difficulties that are involved with dieting and healthy eating. Which is becoming more important now then ever due to the wide spread misinformation that social media facilitates. The project aims to provide accurate, personalised and easy to understand information for the user so that they don’t have to rely on misinformation or complicated diets.The aims of this project are firstly to develop a mobile application to allow users to scan the barcode of food and receive a personalised red, amber and green rating of the nutritional information. The second aim of this project is to develop a web server and database to provide the information the user required from scanning the barcode.The methodology employed to complete this project was a modified agile programming. This provided the flexibility and necessary coding sprints needed to work on the project as a solo developer. Using this methodology the project was broke down into several components that each sprint aimed to implement.Through the use of the methodology and the aims the project managed to produce both the front-end mobile application and the back-end server and database. The front-end and back-end then were combined to produce the functioning project.
